Farscape: Aeryn Sun – ‘The Locket’

Aeryn Sun – ‘The Locket’

In the episode ‘The Locket’ Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) sets off on a reconnaissance mission but Moya somehow shifts time-zones and when Aeryn returns for her 165 cycles have passed.

Premature ageing is is a pretty well mined-out trope in this genre (how many times has the Star Trek franchise used it?) but this episode was nicely done. Reverse starburst is a wonderful thing.

The makeup

Paul Pattison was the hair and makeup supervisor for straight makeup: Dave Elsey was the creative supervisor for special effects makeup.
