old-age: Farscape ‘The Locket’

In the Farscape episode ‘The Locket’, Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) sets off on a reconnaissance mission but Moya somehow shifts time-zones and when Aeryn returns decades have passed.

Premature ageing is is a pretty well mined-out theme in this genre – how many times has the Star Trek franchise used it? – but this episode was nicely done. But why do the crew never refer to these events again?

Lesley Vanderwalt and Jennifer Lamphee were hair and makeup supervisors for straight makeup: Dave Elsey was creative supervisor for special effects makeup: check out Dave’s Creative Image Partnership website for more on Farscape and other great stuff.
