It's a really good show.

Oh yeah. And the BEST voice actor, too, just leaning all the way in to Rygel's smarmy self-importance.

Started watching Farscape cause it's free on youtube:

This shit whips I'm having a great time

The dated cgi is charming, but god the puppets are so good

It's very funny that most of the main cast are your standard sci-fi archetypes, but there's one guy who is, and I mean this as literally as possible, best described as kermit the frog's shitty grandpa

I miss when sci fi was allowed to be goofy and weird and long running, with a lot of daily life plots and silly costumes and fun real sets.

nowadays it's trying so hard to be prestige television, and intelligent, without realizing that the best sci fi could be that AND ridiculous. it's all CGI and brooding and people being sad on sad looking gray planets.

I also dislike how modern sci fi is dystopian this, dystopian that.

you know, farscape is technically a dystopia, but it still let itself be a fun one.

maybe your dystopian sci fi needs puppets.

Found on a friend's FB.

Favorite comment:

"Also, John is so Gen X that he's narrating his slow descent into madness by insistently and continuously making Pop culture references for literal aliens."

Sci-fi shows, but really out of context:

Farscape

Stargate SG-1

Agents of SHIELD

Star Trek: The Next Generation

Battlestar Galactica

The X-Files

The Expanse

Fringe

Lost

Firefly

Just got hit in the face with a big wave of Farscape nostalgia

Three episodes into Farscape and I have some updated impressions:

A fun thing about it being a quarter of a century since the series aired is that some of Crichton's pop culture references are now just as baffling to me as to his alien pals.

This makes for an oddly immersive experience where I don't know what the human is banging on about either.

A lot of sci-fi series that are very horny for their female characters then don't develop them as characters beyond them being the Sex Appeal. I'm thrilled by how much Farscape is avoiding this. There's so much going on with Blue Lady in particular, I want to study her like a disconcertingly sexy bug.

Like she's a priestess, and a telepathic healer, and has some kind of trance speed-painting aura-sensing powers, and also she's blue. But it's all coherent, it doesn't feel like they're just throwing stuff at the character to see what sticks.

Compared with Blue Lady and Peacekeeper Lady, the boys are fine, but there's just a bit less going on there, you know? Which is not what I usually expect of 90s sci-fi.

Pilot is bigger than I expected.

Just when I thought the horniness was abating, we get a slew of Peacekeepers in dramatic eyeliner getting hot and sweaty in their tight black tank tops.

So far this has one of my favourite traits for a series, which is a cast of characters that I just want to hang out with and get to know a bit better. I am actively hoping for bottle episodes.

And that ship design is gorgeous.

Farscape - Season 1 Episode 13 "The Flax"

Farscape: The Flax

[thethirdromana]

I said I was watching the start of the X-Files and the X-Files fans were politely indifferent.

I said I was watching the start of Stargate and the Stargate fans were like, sure, that's cool, let's figure out if it's the kind of show you'll like.

I said I was watching the start of Farscape and the Farscape fans were like FUCK YES FARSCAPE TIME WOOHOO LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!
