“I, E.T.” is episode two (possibly) of season one of Farscape.
A Peacekeeper beacon activates and starts broadcasting Moya’s position. They decide to land on a planet to muffle the signal, but Moya starts sinking. Not that far though.
The crew need to find an element that can apparently be used to help sedate Moya, something that is needed in order to remove the beacon.
It seems that the people on the planet they land on have never encountered aliens before. Something Crichton can empathise with, having just gone through the same process. He also hopes they will be able to help him find out where he is.
Did the Pilot come with the ship, or was he assigned?
Just noticed that Crichton’s badge doesn’t say NASA but it looks like IASA. International Aeronautical and Space Administration?
The reason why this may possibly be episode two is because IMDb, Wikipedia and Amazon all have conflicting numbers. This applies for quite a few episodes. Some may have been released out of sequence. Fortunately there isn’t much in the way of continuity to damage this early on.
