Caught in a worm hole
Tweekums19 September 2012
Warning: Spoilers
As this episode opens Crichton is floating outside Moya waiting for a wormhole to appear; when it opens something goes wrong though and he is drawn into it before the others can react. Inside the wormhole something strange happens; he finds himself on what appears to be a small iceberg; he calls for the others but the only other person there is an old man in a suit. This man starts talking to John about time and wormholes... John draws his sidearm and fires but the pulse stops midway. It turns out he is part of a race that lives within wormholes and they believe that John's knowledge of wormholes make him dangerous. Suddenly he finds himself back on Moya; not in the present though; it is the day he first stepped foot aboard her. He is only there a minute or two when he finds himself back on the iceberg. We then see a variety of people from his past talking about what a great guy he was; later we see the same people saying just the opposite then later still they barely seem to know him. Things get weirder as he finds himself back on Moya again but nobody is quite who they seem... it is explained that this is due to 'unrealised realities' if John were to exit the wormhole in the wrong place and time he would be caught in such a reality forever.

This is one of the stranger episodes... and that is saying something! It is hard to accurately describe what happens but it does make sense when you watch it. The unrealised reality where each of the characters is played by the 'wrong' actor is both strange and funny; Realee Hill looked great as Stark and Anthony Simcoe's portrayal of Jool was truly hilarious; you could tell he was enjoying the role! Guest star John Bach did a good job as the alien John dubbed Einstein. The episode has a spectacular cliff hanger, which I didn't see coming and certainly won't spoil here!
