Continuity mistake: When Aeryn fires D'Argo's Qualta blade at Plonek, it hits the Scarran multiple times on his left side creating a large bloody wound on his chest, and then John shoves the icicle into the right side of Plonek's chest. However, after Plonek pushes John to the ground, in the close-up the icicle is on Plonek's left side with no wound on his right, but when Plonek collapses the icicle is back on his right, and still the bloody wound is gone.

Won't Get Fooled Again - S2-E15
Trivia: The following can be seen in this episode, though they only occur in John's head due to being in a Scarran induced delusional state. After John kisses Logan-Rygel on the lips, he runs up the stairs carrying Logan-Rygel while shouting, "Let me show you how I crash landed the Farscape module!" and when John swings Logan-Rygel around imitating Farscape 1's flight, the left hand/wrist is pulled from the sleeve and we can see the puppet's non-existent arm. Later, when John's mother comes to see him at the hospital the boom mic dips into view above her. Then when John walks into Logan-Rygel's office while everyone is there, we can see the puppeteer's movement on the floor in front of Rygel.
