Farscape- The Bad Guys... Traltixx

The Bad Guys

Mote's Thoughts

Traltixx, if anything, was perhaps the most bizarre villain Farscape has had to date. He boarded Moya with the promise of making her a miracle cloaking field of sorts to protect her from PeaceKeeper ships. Though John likened Traltixx to a Ginsu knives salesman, it seemed as though Traltixx may have actually possessed some knoledge of such a device, as was proven when he made the Farscape1 disappear briefly. Unfortunately for the rest of the crew, Traltixx's motives were more devious, if a bit vague. Somehow Traltixx had the ability to bring out the worst in the crew and they almost immediately started fighting amongst themselves. Traltixx somehow used optical sensors of sentient beings to manipulate feelings of paranoia among sentient creatures. His plan was to take over Moya so that he could use Moya's power to create large amounts of bioluminescent light. Why he wanted to do this no one knows... one good thing about Farscape, when someone is trying to kill the good guys, the good guys don't worry about asking 'why.'

Fortunately for the crew, humans have especially poor eyesight, nearly to the point of being visually 'deficient.' Having the worse eyesight of the bunch, John managed to stay the effects of Traltixx manipulation enough to collect the rest of the gang and come up with a plan to kill Traltixx. The plan included donning Crichton in Zhaan's  puke-enhanced herbal sun-block to fight the effects of the light. Due to his deficient vision Crichton was able, once again, to prove that "Humans are SUPERIOR," and killed Traltixx. We may never know what the hell Traltixx was up to, but as he promised "There are thousands more just like me out there!" We may see more of Traltixx's kind one day.
