The Farscape Intro

The Farscape Intro sparks at the beginning of each episode. It's only a 45 (seasons 1-2) to 60 (seasons 3-4) second musical introduction with a few Lyrics from John Crichton describing a brief undergoing of what has happened, what is happening and what will happen to him through out his journeys in this grand space chase of adventures. Some fans including myself believe that the intros foreshadow events that might happen.

Below are the lyrics as best as a few of us are able to hear them. The video clips for these intros as well as the mp3 versions are in our multimedia section if you want to see or hear it.

Words in italics are (faint/whispers of) transmission echoes. There are many different sounding versions of this intro which include more echoing. This intro actually tells the audience what has happened to Crichton and what is going on in the first and second seasons (getting chased by insane military commanders).

My name is John Crichton, An Astronaut.
A radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole.
Now I'm lost in some distant part of the universe on a ship,
A living ship full of strange alien life forms, Help Me, "HELP ME!"
Listen please, is there anybody out there who can hear me?
I'm being hunted 'Hunted' by an insane military commander doing everything I can!
I'm just looking for a way home!

Words in italics are thought to be those of the other Crichton. (Crichton gets split into two near the beginning of this season but one remains at the end.) This intro describes the situation Crichton or the Crichtons are in. It shows that he isn't sure if it's a good idea for him to find a wormhole to go back to Earth because Earth and his alien friends aren't ready.

My name is John Crichton, 'I'm lost'
An Astronaut, 'Shot through a wormhole'
In some distant part of the universe, 'I'm trying to stay alive'
Aboard this ship, 'This living ship'
Of escaped prisoners, 'My friends'
If you can hear me? 'Beware!'
If I make it back? 'Will they follow?'
If I open the door? 'Are you ready?'
Earth is unprepared, 'Helpless'
For the nightmares, 'I've seen'
Or should I stay? 'Protect my home?'
Not show them, 'You exist?'
But then you'll never know, 'The wonders I've seen!'

Words in italics are (faint/whispers of) transmission echoes. These echoes probably aren't really necessary to mention since they can barely be heard and I probably don't have them all here. This intro again describes Crichton's situation and the enemies that he has encountered. This one also tells the audience that he infact is going to go back to Earth (Episodes Kansas & Terra Firma) to try and warn them of the dangers ahead and possibly share any knowledge he has gathered.

My name is John Crichton 'John Crichton', an Astronaut 'Astronaut'.
'Three years' Three years ago I got shot through a wormhole 'wormhole'.
I'm in a distant part of the universe
Aboard this living ship of escaped prisoners, My friends!
I've made enemies, powerful, dangerous!
Now all I want, is to find a way home, to warn Earth 'Earth'!
Look upward and share 'share' the wonders I've seen!
