The third season announces itself as the "Season of Death" with the title of its premiere episode, and it works as a subtitle for the rest of the season as well. I'd have to think about the others.
^ Agreed with the season one title and yes season three is "Season of Death" I think season four should be called "Bad Timing" and season two I'm not sure.
Season 1: Uncharted Territory Season 2: Dream A Little Dream Season 3: Fractures Season 4: We're So Screwed
To name the seasons after pivotal episodes that are excellent in and of themselves while also symbolising the overall arc of the season, B5-style: Farscape s1: A Human Reaction. s2: Won't Get Fooled Again. s3: Infinite Possibilities. s4: Terra Firma. With apologies to the OP, may I extend this idea to our other favourite shows? Buffy s1: Welcome to the Hellmouth. s2: Surprise. s3: Bad Girls. s4: The Initiative. s5: No Place like Home. s6: Entropy. s7: Bring on the Night. Angel s1: Sanctuary. s2: Redefinition. s3: Sleep Tight. s4: Apocalypse Nowish. s5: A Hole in the World.
Just want to point out that Crichton's return to Earth isn't the main point of season 4 - I think it was the Scarran arc - Hot to Katratzi (especially since I liked the way whatsername said Katratzi)
Since this has kind of been extended beyond Farscape, here's my 'season titles' for three of my top favorite SF series: Babylon 5 Season 1: Signs and Portents (perfectly describes what the season is about, so I see no reason to change it) Season 2: The Long Dark (From what I remember of S2, the season had a pall of darkness cast over it from very early on, and so I think that 'The Long Dark' is an adequate description of the season's tone) Season 3: War Without End Season 4: The Long Night Season 5: The Ragged Edge Battlestar Galactica Season 1: The Hand of God Season 2: Epiphanies (alternate suggestion: Lay Down Your Burdens) Season 3: Crossroads Season 4: Revelations Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 1: In the Hands of the Prophets Season 2: Crossover Season 3: The Die is Cast Season 4: Crossfire Season 5: Call to Arms Season 6: In the Pale Moonlight Season 7: The Dogs of War Keeping things on topic, though, here's my suggestions for Farscape season titles: Season 1: Through the Looking Glass Season 2: The Ugly Truth Season 3: Into the Lion's Den Season 4: What Was Lost
^ I think Through the Looking Glass is perfect for s1. season 3's choice of Into the Lion's Den kinda proceeds with the journey metaphor. Season 2 and Season 4 need to have the same journey metaphor - so Hot to Katratzi (even tho' there's a poetic justice to We're so screwed)
coolghoul: I looked at episode blurbs for all four seasons of Farscape, and picked my season titles because of the arcs and themes that jumped out at me based on those blurbs. I was also relying, for Season 1, on my firsthand knowledge and remembrance of the episodes from that season that I had actually been able to see. For Season 2, I picked 'The Ugly Truth' because, in reading the episode blurbs for the season, the 'theme' that jumped out at me was revelation and the uncovering of information, and 'The Ugly Truth' was the only title from S2 that really fit that theme. For Season 4, the 'themes' that jumped out at me were confrontation and epiphany, and, of the various titles of the season, 'What Was Lost' struck me as being the most appropriate reflection of those themes. Once again going beyond just discussing Farscape, though, I wanted to share my thoughts on season titles for Buffy and ANGEL the same way lvsxy808 did. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1: Welcome to the Hellmouth Season 2: Innocence Season 3: Revelations Season 4: The Initiative Season 5: The Gift Season 6: Normal Again Season 7: Chosen Season 8: The Long Way Home ANGEL Season 1: Hero Season 2: Redefinition Season 3: Offspring Season 4: Shiny Happy People (alternate title: Home) Season 5: Why We Fight
Ooooh! I'd discounted that because I don't think much of the episode itself, but it really does fit the theme of s5 well, doesn't it?
