Even if you were the sort of person to skip episodes, I wouldn't advise it with this show. The thing that's great about Farscape is that almost everything matters. S1 is rough going for a lot of people, so if you were enjoying it, you're doing better than many of us! The episode that turned me from a casual viewer to a die-hard fan was "DNA Mad Scientist", a.k.a. Shit Gets Real. Most people say that for them, it was "A Human Reaction", and that is an absolutely critical episode that really kicks off a ton of arc-y stuff.
So I guess I'd say, if nothing's clicked for you by "A Human Reaction," it may not be your show. But there's some brilliant character stuff that happens before then, and the storytelling improves astronomically by the end of the season.
