I loathe "Twice Shy", and the "must fool Scorpius" line is one of the most stupid and lazy ever to insult a tv audience. One of the reasons why I'm so glad Farscape had The Peacekeeper Wars to wrap things up is that otherwise, I'd have finished the show seriously disliking the main couple, or rather the way they were written in the fourth season. Gratitious angst instead of character-driven angst, and then a "oops, I didn't mean it!" solution. Bah. Also in s1-3 Aeryn had relationships and issues other than John Crichton, in s4 she exists solely as his love interest. Double bah.
On the bright side, re: s4, I did love Kansas and Terra Firma, which are among my favourite FS episodes, and I also liked Sikozu and her relationship with Scorpius a lot. Oh, and Noranti. And some of the John and Scorpius scenes. It's not a season I wish away entirely, but almost anything to do with Aeryn and the J/A relationship I wish had been written differently.
