Farscape was one of the best television shows ever… but damn, its characters did seem to die a lot (but only rarely permanently). This was my attempt to catalog all of the times that we saw them die. This includes dreams, alternate realities, unrealized timelines, hallucination, clones and any other tropes that may have popped up.
Depending on your point of view either John is in the lead with nine deaths or Pilot, Stark and Crais tied with one each. This is of course by the count generated by the imaginary rules that I made up as I went along and failed inform you of.
