John
Crichton
John Crichton (played by Ben Browder) is our stalwart hero. When he is
transported through a wormhole into a distant part of the universe,
John is taken aboard Moya, a living spaceship. At first, John is lost
and frightened by the new world he is forced to live in and all of the
strange things that happen to surround him. However,
through the dangers he faces in his endless quest to find a way back
home, John is slowly molded into a hardened warrior. He is a bubbling
fountain of pop culture references, possesses ridiculous luck,
and has a penchant for extremely risky plans that never work the way he
intends them to. Early on, John has all of the knowledge of a race
called the Ancients implanted into his brain, though he has no access
to it, and when a Peacekeeper officer named Scorpius discovers this, he
hunts John relentlessly for the wormhole technology that his hidden
within him. John is an excellent marksman and in times of crisis, he
keeps his head and is a natural leader for the crew. His favourite
weapon is a Peacekeeper Pulse Pistol that he has affectionately named
Winona, after Winona Ryder.
