| − | John Cricton's best friend since sometime in his childhood. John helped him cheat on his S.A.T.'s in order to get into a specific program in university that deals with spaceflight, where John later became the astronaught for the Farscape 1 Prject, where John's theory was that a planet's gravity could be used as a slingshot, thus increasing the speed of a spaceship. He later proved this theory right, but only after being sucked through a wormhole and losing contact with DK entirely. John also helped DK cheat on some of his work in high school. John did not see DK again for over 3 years, when he would see DK again is season 4, when Moya found her way to present day earth at that time (Roughly Christmas time, 2003. Previous she and the crew had been there around Halloween of 1985.). Unfortunately during Moya's second (and so far final.) visit to earth, Moya was carrying a creature called a Screeth, which assasinated DK and his newly wed wife Laura. During Season 2, when he was having forced hallucinations by Scarran technology, John met DK in what he soon found to be just as fake a world as the Human Reaction experiment that he unwillingly participated in thanks to the ancients. D'argo, John, and Aeryn all made a collective effort to kill the screeth and unknowingly (at the time.) avenge DK's murder. DK is not mentioned again until the episode "Mental As Anything.", and is also never heard from again, not even during hallucinations on John's part. May he and Laura rest in peace. |

Bio
Douglas "D.K." Knox" was John Crichton's best friend since sometime in his childhood. In high school, John helped him cheat on his S.A.T.'s. Both would later work for IASA, where John worked as an astronaut and DK as a fellow scientist. Together, they developed a theory involving planetary gravity as a boost for manned space flight which became the basis for the for the [[Farscape Project]. In it, a space ships would use a planet's gravity as a slingshot, thus increasing the speed of a spaceship. Though Crichton proved this theory correct using his Farscape-1 module, he was sucked through a wormhole during the experiment and lost contact with DK and Earth entirely.
In one instance during Crichton's time in the Uncharted Territories, John withstood a Scarran mind probe in which he encountered a simulation of DK. Though this avatar started normally, it began acting irrational as the simulation became more surreal in an effort to break John's mind.
John did not see the real DK again for over 3 years, when he returned to Earth with Moya in late 2003. The childhood friends were again reunited and DK was part of the scientific team tasked to study the advanced alien technology Crichton had brought back. Unfortunately, during this visit home, Moya was carrying a creature called a Skreeth, which had followed Crichton at Commandant Grayza's orders. The Skreeth went to Earth's surface and assassinated DK and his newly wed wife Kopecki, Laura. Later, D'Argo, John, and Aeryn all made a collective effort to kill the Skreeth, unknowingly avenging DK's murder.
