101. Premiere -- Scientist John Crichton is pulled through a wormhole while testing a space module of his own design for IASA. On the other side of the wormhole: the Delvian Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, Luxan warrior Ka D'Argo, and deposed Hynerian Dominar Rygel XVI have just succeeded in liberating themselves -- and Moya, their Leviathan biomechanoid prison transport ship, helmed by Pilot -- from the control of the Peacekeepers, a merciless race of mercenaries. Crichton finds himself involuntarily added to the crew roster, along with Peacekeeper Officer Aeryn Sun, who's (equally involuntarily) been deemed "irreversibly contaminated" by her former commanding officer, Captain Bialar Crais. Crais, whose brother was killed accidentally during Crichton's unscheduled arrival via the wormhole, is now determined not only to recapture Moya and her prisoner crew, but to exact vengeance on Crichton, as well. (19 Mar 1999)

102. I, E.T. -- The crew discovers, the hard way, that the Peacekeepers have left a locator beacon on board Moya. To get rid of it, they must make planetfall on an uncharted world, locate a specific substance to use as anesthesia, and perform surgery on their Leviathan -- all while avoiding contact with the local population, which has never before encountered extraplanetary life. Crichton hides out from pursuers on a farm owned by a woman (Mary Mara) who takes to him. (07 May 1999)

103. Exodus from Genesis -- The crew does their best to dodge a Peacekeeper Marauder, while playing unwitting incubator to a galactic insectoid species. Ever open-minded, our heroes are willing to host the colony's queen while she spawns. There are just two little problems: the queen sets Moya's thermostat to a level that may well destroy Aeryn, and that Marauder isn't leaving the area anytime soon. (26 Mar 1999)

104. Throne for a Loss -- Rygel attempting to impress clients transporting cargo, steals a crystal essential to the ship and finds himself — and the crystal — kidnapped by the very people he tried to impress. Now they need to get him back, not because they particularly want him, but because he's taken a vital component that Moya needs in order to maintain orbit. Complicating matters, the local thugs are pharmaceutically enhanced -- and our crew isn't exactly immune to the drug's effects. (09 Apr 1999)

105. Back and Back and Back to the Future -- D'Argo insists that the crew rescue a pair of Ilanic scientists (whose ship has been destroyed under mysterious circumstances) but one of them is a spy (Lisa Hensley), who tries to seduce Crichton and D'Argo — and steal weapons technology. Meanwhile, Crichton is acting more unhinged than usual (although that may be due to the fact that something in the Ilanics' shuttle seems to have disconnected him from the space-time continuum). Now John's living -- and reliving -- horrific versions of the future, over..and over..and over... (02 Apr 1999)

106. Thank God It's Friday. Again. -- When D'Argo flies into a rage and leaves the Moya, the rest of the crew pursue him to the planet Sykar, a seemingly idyllic workers' paradise with a deadly secret. The crew must adjust to the possibility of saying goodbye to one of their number. But first, they want to know where all that tannot root is going...and why in D'Argo's new home, tomorrow is a Rest Day, but tomorrow never comes. (23 Apr 1999)

Exploring the wreckage for clues to its past (and any surviving scraps of navigational data), the crew discovers Gilina Renaez (Alyssa-Jane Cook), a PK technician recently left onboard by Capt. Crais. Their salvage efforts are further complicated by Rygel's flashbacks to his captivity and torture aboard the Zelbinion by Capt. Durka, and the arrival of a Sheyang scavenger vessel whose crew is bent on claiming the wreckage for themselves. (16 Apr 1999)

108. That Old Black Magic -- Supernatural forces transport Crichton to the ephemeral realm of the sorcerer Maldis (Chris Haywood), who pits the commander against Crais (Lani John Tupu) in a battle that hinges on Zhaan's (Virginia Hey) ability to gets in touch with her dark side to defeat Maldis.

But, when Aeryn asks him to provide her with directions to a Sebacean colony, she winds up being used as a test subject herself, and only John steps forward to defend her. (18 Jun 1999)

110. They've Got a Secret -- When the crew does a sweep of Moya's systems to remove any remaining PK devices, D'Argo hits pay dirt. But, when he smashes the device, he's accidentally spaced in the resulting explosion, and even though Aeryn picks him up in her Prowler, his mind still seems a bit spaceburned. Meanwhile, Moya's systems are malfunctioning left and right, and the DRDs are running amok. The crew struggles to diagnose their Leviathan... and figure out why D'Argo
thinks John is a murderer. (25 Jun 1999)
