But I believe they explained it already. Or they sort of did. Here's what I get: the chip was in his brain so long it became part of his personality. Basicly Crichton is now schizophrenic (in the t.v. sense, which isn't necessarily scientifically accurate). In "Season of Death" he gets control of the other personality (Harvey). Now, Harvey's still there, and doesn't control John's actions, but he's still a part of John's brain function.
That's what I got too, but they had a scene where someone told John that the chip was gone and it was just residual Scorpy in his head that he could get rid of and he had a little in-hi-head fight here he beat him. So I expected that to be the end of ol' Scorpy, but it obviously wasn't. I guess that was just the point where Crichton took control. Schizophrenia is a good way to look at it. I like how Aeryn knows that he still talks to Scorpius. She's the sly one.
I haaaaaaaaaated "The Locket" too. What can I say? I am a sucker for sap sometimes.
And I agree with P-C about the John/Aeryn and John/Scorpy relationships. It's what Farscape did best.
Yeah, very well done so far. The whole John/Aeryn thing is not at all what I expected and I think that's what I like about it so much. I think from the fist episode it was obvious there was going to be something there. But it's never been this typical will they/won't they kind of thing. The first time they sleep together in "Human Reaction" is really such a non-event and I wasn't even sure it actually happened until Aeryn mentions it in a later episode. And we just get these little moments - a look, a kiss, the locket, a casual "we can have sex". Good stuff. Very well done.

If you get the chance, you should try out some of the commentaries after you finish. Anything with Browder is usually realling interesting, as far as character development/story arc. Anyway, I guess Browder and Black were big fans of the idea that John and Aeryn have sex early on and it not be a big thing. I think they pushed the writers for it, from the beginning (in an effort to subvert the normal romance formula).
Now, it's not like Farscape throws big drama at their relationship (oh no, the evil clone in my head just made me kill my girlfriend!) But the tone and tempo of the relationship is very different, for some reason.
