Farscape

What a series :)
The main characters are played by Ben Browder and Claudia Black. The two are also main characters in SG-1 seasons 9-10. And what should I say. The writers who wrote the roles for them are genius. Besides the mythology, the series is heavily character driven and this is what makes it so... different and genius. Season 1 isn't very interesting, but with season 2 onwards the episodes are getting more open to the overall story arc and mythology. In season 2 a complex villain is introduced. This villain and the characters of Ben Browder and Claudia Black are getting one of the best conversations besides LOST, but in a different way... I can't explain it, it's very unique and everytime I think "who wrote this? This is awesome". Sometimes the series doesn't take it self serious, not that it drives itself ridiculously, and that makes it so special and funny and also very very dark from time to time.

Either you love Farscape or you hate it. I don't think there is anything between. I love it and even after more than 15 years it's still one of my favorite shows for many reasons and I rewatch like every two years. Farscape is absolutly crazy, smart, sexy, funny and heartbreaking. There are no resets with this shows. Characters grow, they chage and evolve. Actions have consequenses and when you think you have seen everything in the genre Farscape does something new.

It has an epic story and even more epic love story to tell. Yes, it needs some time to get into, but don't dismiss it because of it, or worse because it has puppets.

What started off a bit silly ended up being one of the greatest SciFi shows I've ever seen. It's a grand old time.

Miss Farscape so much. Really hope the rumours of a reboot come true.

so i have started to rewatch this in its entirety having probably not seen it since it was shown in at the turn of the century.. i loved it back then, it was so different to most shows and had the added bonus of the henson workshop behind it, so my childhood of muppets and dark crystal we continued into adulthood. i see this show with new eyes some 25yrs later. i have different character apperication and the nuances unnoticed before now resonate more. i have just finished season 3 and so far the hardest to get through, i wont spoil anything but the story arcs that it switches between get a little tedious. and Purely from my personal stand point its hard to watch certain scense between john and aeryn because they trigger me. my only real gripe of the show is i feel the episodes sometimes feel out of order, that thier relationships flick between emense trust and bonded comradery to almost like strangers again. maybe its just my perceptions but its what i got, still doesnt stop this being amazing show. and scorpius is one of the best characters period. Wayne pygrams ablity to mence and switch to mimic humour is awesome. and with that ben browders imitations of him are great. i can see why they chose Wayne to play Gov tarkin in star wars - "revenge of the sith" though i wish he had, had lines and more screen time.. because his delivery of scorpius's lines give real tarkin vibes. i recommend this show to any scifi nut that hasnt seen it yet :)

This is an incredible series! It first aired in 1999, making it approximately 21yrs old and it’s still phenomenal.

The amount of craftsmanship gone in to the production of this, is crazy! There’s minimal CGI, leaving it to highly skilled teams to create sets, costumes, makeup artists etc. The aliens 98% of the time are works of art. I commended all who worked on this series.

The story and actors are phenomenal too. Scorpious, the arch nemesis of John is so scary, enough to give you nightmares!

It’s not without faults, but very few; I personally feel some of season 4 became a bit boring, silly and went off plot. But, thankfully it did steer back.

I remembering catching a few parts of episodes, when it originally aired, but I never got to watch any. I was extremely excited to find the whole series recently on Amazon, where I’ve watched every single episode.

I think this will always remain an iconic show.

I really wish John didn’t make so many annoying out of context earth references, really the only thing that annoyed me about the series
