This Standalone ‘Farscape’ Episode Changed the Show Forever

Farscape took risks. Whether it was incorporating Jim Henson Company puppets into the main cast or its full-throttle commitment to deconstructing tropes with high stakes imagination, the Sci-Fi Channel series always shunned the expected. Series creator Rockne S. O'Bannon wasn't interested in making the "anti-Star Trek," but, as he told Paley Matters in 2018, "an interesting variation of Star Trek." Achieving this intuitive goal necessitated another risk: consequences. As executive producer and screenwriter Ricky Manning told The Companion, “It was a general tenet of the series that Things Had Consequences, that characters who’d been through stuff should be AFFECTED by that (rather than shrugging it all off as if it never happened in the very next episode).” In other words, in Farscape's universe, if Spock was traumatized or Kirk made terrible choices, the ramifications didn't vanish once the credits rolled. How did one achieve such ambitious narrative design back in ye olde days when serialized storytelling wasn't commonplace? Well, through a combination of daring creativity, network leniency, and improvisation inspired by a standalone episode that altered Farscape for the rest of its four-seasons-and-a-miniseries run. No, that episode isn't Season 1's "Nerve," which heralds the introduction of Farscape's overarching villain, and with him, some quite delicious conflict of the space opera variety. The episode with series-changing connotations is Season 2's "Crackers Don't Matter," a silly, trope-filled, one-off delight never meant to be more than silly, trope-filled, and a one-off. "Crackers Don't Matter" does what Farscape forever did best — change the chess game by flipping the entire table.
