So many great eps, but so many of them rely on back story. So I'd probably start at the beginning, given that Farscape's pilot ep is one that deals with all the necessary universe setup in an unusually succinct way and sets up the core characters brilliantly. It's one of the show's (many) strengths: However uneven some of the early (and later) episodes are, the characters were themselves from day one and the actors owned their characters completely. The show's almost unique in that sense.
So after all that, I'd probably vote for the pilot ep.
(Btw, I've shrunk that icon. Lemme know if you want it.)
