Likeable characters, good puppet designs.
farscape had some of the least likeable characters of any sci fi show of that era, possibly of all time. i couldn't mange to actually finish the series because I didn't like a single one of the characters and they just kept getting worse as the show went on. it did have good puppets, costumes, set design and such tho.
I miss this lil homie like you wouldn't believe
I'd crawl across a desert of broken glass just to huff his helium farts.
Best character arc for a fricking puppet EVER.
It isn't though?
is that a question, assdigger?
frick off stark, nobody likes you.
fish out of water done right. prime claudia to sit on my face. henson company at it's best.
I cringed so hard when they got cast for the last couple seasons of stargate together, seemed like such a dumb/desperate move lifting the leads from another sci-fi show but they worked.
Crichton going from fish out of water to threatening to nuke galactic leaders while going on a rant about capitalism and being an american...is there a better character arc in scifi?
Because it's a ship. A living ship.
Soul is not a word I use lightly, but it has soul.
What the FRICK was his problem?
I don't know why people dislike his episodes. He's lots of fun. Kinda disappointed he didn't show up more.
>name is maldis
>character is malding
Bravo, Henson.
I felt so too when I was watching it recently but I got sick of it. It's good but not really consistently good, there's a lot of mid to shit episodes. It's peak comfy when it's good though.
I had to stop when Jothee showed up. That homie is so fricking ugly it made me quit the show and I'm not even joking, I don't want this fricking face on my TV
I dont think anyone feels different about him. Was their plan to make this character likeable? Just because dhargo is annoying, doesn't mean I like this guy when he cucks him
I think they wanted to bring in a younger dude, so angsty teen boys could admire him. He's a dude who hates his dad & blah blah blah teenager stuff. But they noticed it didn't go well & tossed him. Plus, there's just no way Critchon or Dhargo weren't fricking cool even as oldish men
Can I just skip everything with him in it? Is he in it for very long?
It's like tree episodes. I wouldn't skip them, just his scenes
>That homie is so fricking ugly it made me quit the show
hes only on the show for like 3 episodes or some shit
>stargate Atlantis: the early years
It's a sci fi show that tries to actually be weird and alien. Stranger in a strange land.
Though even back in the day I thought stuff like "The Ship has now weapons" was a little on the fricking nose.
Well, I'll try and contribute. I recently started watching it. Puppetry and effects are phenomenal, great story lines, and Crichton is a cool chad.
lads...
anyway it was her voice
Still would.
Love this show, it feels like it was made specifically for me.
When does it get good? I just started watching it and it's not great so far. But a lot of shows are like that. They take awhile for the chemistry between characters/actors to grow. I'm only 4 episodes in.
Around the end of Season 1, when Crichton starts to figure out how this part of the galaxy operates and gets his footing.
Also, keep in mind that they had to keep the first season as generic scifi in order to bait people into watching it so they could get the ratings numbers for future seasons. The really weird stuff starts in season 2.
Yo I started this recently too, im about half way through season 3. Season 2 is really fricking great.

>Aeryn that low
???
I love her arc. Going from no-nonsense badass military warrior/fighter pilot to growing a heart is one of my favorite archetypes for a character and her slow growth is done perfectly. I also like her and John's slow chemistry growth in the show, the build up is always more fun than the payoff.
It's good, until the My Two Johns arc. That was just needless drama and cucking.
any list that doesn't end with "a literal turd with googly eyes stuck onto it > power gap > chiana" isn't a real list.
I wish I could showrun a sequel series.
Little D, & Ungle Rygel going off in one of Moya's offspring.
for me, it's Sikozu Svala Shanti Sugaysi Shanu
I wish we could have gotten an episode of Sikozu bickering science v mystism with Zahn
We got the next best thing, in the episode where she's shrunk down with Rygel. He tells her off, and that you can't apply science/logic to everything.
>meta moment telling the autists on the internet to shut the frick up, canonized within the show
Based.

Farscape? For me it's Far Side.
I just learned that Larson has put Far Side on the internet for free.
On Pluto
I tried to show Farscape to my gf but she kept calling it "Fartscape" to bully me, then she farted on me with her big wet ass.
I don't know man. Almost every time I start an episode it's so goddamn WEIRD and then it settles into being entertaining.
>Almost every time I start an episode it's so goddamn WEIRD and then it settles into being entertaining.
thats what makes Farscape so good
Exactly, what is the point of Sci-fi if not to be out there?
It homages to all sorts of previous shows, but reimagines them for the 2000s. There's a healthy dose of Blake's 7 in the lineage of Farscape, and it's a better for referencing so much of that classic.
I didn’t like Claudia Black on Stargate but loved her on Farscape. Why is that?
That ugly hair stripe
I've seen Stargate but haven't watched Farscape yet, what am I in for?
If anything Farscape is more soulful.
Farscape is Soul
Stargate is Heart
ST:TOS is Mind
For me it's how bizarre and strange it is. As much as I like Trek, all the aliens are basically humans with forehead prosthetics but Farscape's aliens feel...alien. You really do feel like you are in a completely foreign part of space
Im confused why so many people are horny over sun, she's not even the hottest girl or even best girl. Y'all are smoking some strong shit.
She’s not but attraction is more than that.
Its a matter of personal taste I suppose, but IMO its a rare example of character development making her extremely attractive rather than just her looks/explicit sexuality
she starts as an aggressive, domineering stone cold b***h, and throughout the series, learns to soften up a bit, becomes vulnerable and struggles profoundly to cope with this new reality, and ultimately she learns to love, learns the value of companionship and mutual support, and ultimately, she full on embraces motherhood, femininity, and the family life, bringer her journey to an emotional and wholesome conclusion.
in the end she is everything you could ever want, strong and capable, supportive, yet emotionally open and a deeply loving as partner and as a mother. to add to this, in my opinion, the nature of her journey means everything about her has a certain air of extreme sincerity; her feelings are not something she takes lightly or plays games with, it was a long and painful ride for her to get where she is and she does not take any of it for granted in the slightest. this fact alone makes her insanely desirable imo.
one of my favorite quotes from the peace keeper wars
>suddenly 3 isn't such a scary number
this chick was in pitch black, right?
yup
I feel like I've read this post with this exact picture in several farscape threads already...
The three T's
>Tone (voice)
>Tummy
>Tongue Roll
You see a lot of her, and people have a natural attraction to people they're around. She's not ugly, which automatically combines with that first part, into a lot of guys being more into her, than they'd be otherwise.
Then there's the Dommy Mommy gays.
There's also the fact that Crichton is into her, and he's the character that we follow and want to emulate. He's into Aeryn, so we are.
For me? See:

What a fricking mystery my dude.
ATTENTION EVERYONE
I'm literally in a break from the very last movie/episode, I still have one more hour to go
Please cease all discussion to ensure I am not spoilered, you may resume discussion and bumping this thread in one arn
don't forget Peacekeeper Wars
Crichton gets Rigel pregnant.
Aeryn gives birth to a baby boy, John's son. They name it after D'argo since he died. Chiana is still the prostitute that she always was. Juul gets nuked. Rygel regains control over his empire. Sikozu stays with Scorpius.
Read the comics, as they take place after the miniseries, and we'll never get more Farscape.
1. People who made the show cared, so it's high effort
2. It's only okay UNTIL you realize/read that Chriton's constant messaging of 'im going crazy' and 'this galaxy is crazy' is actually him verbalizing an entire new personality apart from his NASA pilot normalcy.
He simply can't cope/absorb his new reality so he doesn't. His new personality fits right in, riding wave after wave of episodic calamity.
It's... Space dungeons and dragons for him. He leaves the player behind.
It all really come to a peak on Earth when we realize how truly damaged he is by it all. He is easily just as out of place as his alien companions on Earth
You forgot that SciFi was willing to dump money into this show, to build their audience. In 1999, when Farscape first started, SciFi only had a few of their own originals, and continued a few shows from other networks. Not that Farscape could have been made years later, but if it hypothetically would have, it would have had far less of a budget. It was for sure a loss leader for them.
HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL SCIENCE FICTION SHOW ("PROGRAMME") IN 3 EASY STEPS
1. Have most of the cast be white.
2. Have some exotic alien women.
3. Make me want to put my big fat white polish sausage in them.
Boom, guaranteed for at least 3 full seasons.
partways through season 3. i always struggle with season 3.
revenging angel and then the choice. jesus christ it kills me. i really gotta be in the right frame of mind otherwise i just lose interest until fracture/i yensch, you yensch.
has anyone broke from chronology and watched the season 3 group split talyn eps all at once and then the moya eps?
wondering how that might feel flow wise. couldnt do it during the actual airing but now.. maybe it sticks better?
cant wait for lions den.
Take the Stone, The Choice, John Quixote, and the one with mind control hornets & backstabbing clans with ugly braids, are only episodes I ever consider skipping
Peacekeeper Wars is the worst part of the entire series
There I said It
the wormhole weapon was insanely kino though
Crichton building a weapon to destroy the universe and then using it is the perfect ending for his character.
Why does Grayza get no love on Cinemaphile? You'd think there'd be more people here excited about a sadistic pregnant mommy villainess who takes cum baths.
she's pregnant?
Dangerously.
I thought they were gonna do something cool with the SEX VILLAIN trope but they just... didn't.
im sure they would have done more with her if there was a season 5
OK tell me, when does it starts getting bad. If that even happens
a few weak episodes in season 1
Just that? If so, then there's no problem. A kind of weak s1 is understandable
Not even that really, it’s kino all the way through.
WATCHING IT THEN
The girl with short gray hair looks cute, and I remember watching some clips of a metafictional episode which looked cool.
Go nuts man.
funny scoundrel type main characters, embraces the weirdness, puppets
im at the end of season 1 right now and the show is ok. favorite episode so far is probably the one with the scorpion lady
Show was good for like two seasons. Right up to the point when they pull Scorpio out of jhons head.
So the second half of the Peacekeeper Wars then? Because Harvey was still in John's head, post-chip.
The sexy alien b***h is my favorite.
thank god for leather pants
Was there ever any interview, where they discussed the origin of the chip in John's brain? Was it a repurposed idea from Buffy The vampire Slayer? John mentions Buffy a few times in the show, so we know the writers are fans. The brain-chip in Buffy was about half a year before the brain-chip in Farscape.
