When John . . .

There may be a thread for this somewhere, but since this is my 1st cycle with Farscape, I don’t know where/how to find it.

In “Infinite Possibilities”, how much time passed between the destruction of the dreadnaught and John’s death scene (which is exquisitely painful, BTW)? Crais’ eyes are almost completely healed in that scene after being badly burned in pt.1. Rygel is well enough after his serious injury to be up and about on his own. Aeryn has taken the time to freshen her face, but both John and Aeryn are still in their dusty clothes from Dambada. (Not that I would waste precious microts away from my dying man just to change my clothes, either). So, did John die the same day as the other events in the eps or did he last a day or two?
I don’t know the timeline for the effects of radiation exposure like what he suffered.

Thanks

I think he died later that same day.

Take the advice of a confirmed sci-fi enthusiast and don't think too deeply about it. It was a beutiful and poignant piece of television, both typical of Farscape and unusual for sci-fi television, and trying to think and analyse it will only detract from the emotions of the moment. Watch it for what it is, a stand alone moment of television history.

I had thought he sustained a massive dose of radiation and died like the same day.

Sometime soon after, I would imagine. Doesn't really matter, though, does it? Like Seffy said, it was a beautiful, tragic, highly emotional moment and probably doesn't want to be overanalyzed.

I agree with SEFFY don't question it to much, or come to your own conclusion, - such as, Aliens heal much faster than humans or as you said some time had past and Aeryn just hadn't changed out of her cloths so not to loose any time with John.

the Hole point was to bring everyone together for the dramatic conclusion and bring closure to that part of the story.

Nah, then all of us nitpickers would be out of the job. :)

You know, if nitpickers actually got paid for nitpicking. I'm sure someone does.
