I actually have two that I watch over and over again, both from season three.

1) Scratch 'n' Sniff. This episode is so wacky and out there and different from basically any other tv show. I have actually 'scaped a few people with this episode! It's a lot of fun and never fails to cheer me up. It's nice to have a silly episode on Farscape, especially right before the Infinite Possibilities two-parter.

2) Dog With Two Bones. This episode is the complete opposite of Scratch 'n' Sniff. Where the first is just happy and weird, Dog With Two Bones never fails to break my heart ever single time that I watch it. Claudia and Ben are absolutley fantastic. The coin toss scene just kills me every single time that I watch it. Crichton just wants to be with Aeryn, he made that decision. And then the Old Lady telling Crichton that Aeryn "is with child"? I was gobsmacked! Just an amazing episode.

I have an easy answer to this one. I definitely have to choose 'Revenging Angel'. I could just sit and watch that episode over and over. It cracks me up every time I see it. Not only is it an excellent episode, but its also like watching every single Roadrunner and Wile Coyote cartoon along with it.

I could never get tired of watching D'Argo slamming into the solid rock face where John had painted a wormhole and then driven his module straight through it. Pure comedy.

If Farscape is ever likely to be brought back, I'd like a few more animated episodes just like it please...hell yeah!

Even though I don't consider it my favorite episode (WSS1 holds that honor), I'd say the episode I most have to re-watch over and over again is Fractures.  I just love well done romantic angst and romantic optimism, and Fractures is the ultimate in both camps.  The episode is full of angst, but at the end you get that twinkle of hope while Aeryn listens to John's message. 

If I sit down to start re-watching episodes these days, I tend to find myself starting with that episode.

Alas a pointless post in regards to an actual answer as I do not watch individual episodes of any series that I own on DVD. Since I have watched all of Farscape and my other shows at least twice on DVD as well on TV I understand the context that single episodes may exist in but I just like the whole feel of watching something from scratch.

I guess I am an all or nothing type of guy

I love to watch Crichton Kicks.   this episode is both hilarious (Crichton speaking Klingon, impersonating a goat; Harvey running in the surf) and poignant (on the beach with aeryn, struggling with a half-blind Chiana, the friendship with the old pilot), as well as having some pretty great music, and a world class plan involving ropes and pulleys.  It is not a stand alone episode (are there any?) and yet it has a self-contained feel to it, so if i'm in the mood for "a little farscape" this is where I usually turn.

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is my most repeated viewing,
I tend to re-watch the ones with a lot of humour in
them and this episode is no exception.

I know that this is an old question and my answer won't make it to the Scapecast, but I just had to answer it.  When I first saw "John Quixote" I could *not* stop watching it.  The whole episode is whimsical and fun, but Princess Aeryn takes the cake.  I especially had to watch all of her scenes again and again.  The first 6 or 7 times it was just to listen to that awesome accent.  But once I could get past the accent, it's fantastic to really pay attention to the character.  Claudia mentions in the DVD commentary that she may have this silly accent, but the character is rather sinister.  And it's true.  If you watch without any sound, it's wonderful to see how Princess Aeryn acts with John.  Woohoo!

I’m sure there is more than just one for me, but lately it is “Promise” from Season 4. It is so intense with the worst- case- reunion right at the beginning.
Seeing John dealing with the fact that Aeryn is back but suffering from heat delirium and Scorpius coming along with her makes my heart scream every time.
Ben plays it so fantastically. With just whispering the word “Promise” he expresses all the anger and desperation bubbling inside John.
Seeing Aeryn in the cooling suite looking almost like Scorpius is not just hard to watch for him, it almost kills me as well.
The episode is so electrifying and surprising with a reunion I never dreamed of.

Crackers Don't Matter.

i've watched that episode so many times that I know it by heart now.

Same goes for Won't Get Fooled Again, and John Quixote.

And other, less wacky episodes, like:

Different Destinations. Die Me Dichotomy. Green Eyed Monster.

Great episodes, with action, romance, great plot and fantastic endings.

There are 2 episodes that I can't help but watch over and over. Funny enough, they're both from the third season. They are "Incubator" and "Revenging Angel". "Incubator" because I can't help but find Scorpius' back story incredibly fascinating. "Revenging Angel" because of the great Looney Tunes kinda humor between John and D'Argo. Plus, John's line "Dr. Chuck Jones wrote the book on these situations." just kills me every frelling time I hear it! Although, I almost feel bad for the cartoon version of Harvey when that 1000 ton cartoon weight lands on him...

...what ep do i watch lots ? it's Premiere (the first ep) everything is so new.. so raw..John is  fresh and innocent, Aeryn is hard and rigid...knowing it is just the start is exciting...it shows me what's in store...terror, friendship, comedy etc...i also really enjoyed the scene in "Unrealized Reality" when John goes back to the beginning and says to Rygel "i wouldn't trust you with a chia pet"

[Sammiesmykat]

Kimberly from Southern California,

"Outr of Their Minds" would have to be the episode I can watch any where any time.  I love that the actors knew each other so well that they just are each other when they switch bodies.  I also love that every one says that John's plans never work. but every one looks to him to fix the problems at hand.  It's priceless to hear Rygel complaining that no one listens to him when Zan wouldn't talk to John in Rygel's body.

[Crackers DO Matter]

I'm like Kevin, I will start at the beginning and watch them all in order ... what can I say ... I'm strange !!!!!
