When the experimental mission in the space is bad and tired, Crichton turns into a man familiar with planets and galaxies, where he meets a group of rebels to fight a bloody battle between galaxies in an attempt to win the battle and return to Earth.
The season can be a little offputtingly weird in the early going, and there are two all-time bad episodes back-to-back in the middle, but overall this is such a fundamentally solid and sound season of television.
These episodes wonderfully pay off long-term stories and deliver ridiculous moments, particularly from Rygel. His love for our food, particularly candy, is especially silly.
