Ben and Claudia were later also both in Stargate SG-1
This was his son.
The pitch meeting for this show: "An American Astronaut lost in the Australian BDSM scene."
Wait…. What?
@@funnylilgalreacts Oh, you'll see.
You'llllll see @@funnylilgalreacts 😂
Australian BDSM scene? That's 100% Legend of the Seeker.
Yeah this show definitely had an... impression... on young me.
And after this show ended, Ben Browder and Claudia Black moved over to Stargate SG-1 to continue jumping across the universe with wormholes!
SG-1 even parodied Farscape in their 200th episode purely for fan service.
: / Please try not to spoil things..
It was more so Ben Browder and Claudia Black had 6 year contracts for the show, but since the show was cancelled after the 4th Season Scyfy Channel had to honor their contracts for the following 2 years. SG-1 was meant to end after the 8th Season but they continued it for 2 more seasons specifically for Ben Browder and Claudia Black.
Stargate SG-1 (and Atlantis, even Universe) are fantastic. Great series and totally deserves to be reacted to :)
And they were GREAT on SG-1, especially that parody! 🙂
Claudia Black voiced Morrigan, Witch of the Wilds, in Dragon
Age games
Farscape starts off nuts, then gets progressively nuttier. It's also incredibly touching at times. You'll love it.
You could say, things get 'Looney'..
😂
@@3Kings_Industries😂 no please not the looney episode
This
@@BryGoose What, you prefer John Quixote?
@@thecrunchyferrett6985 Always.
The thing about this show that's pure magic is that you'll soon stop seeing the aliens as puppets. They'll be no different than an actor in makeup. The acting is that good. When you laugh or cry over something a puppet alien does, you'll be completely hooked.
That is the beauty of the Henson Workshop, they are so good at creating life.
@@I.Lostalim I couldn't agree more- and once she meets a particular man in black, I think she'll agree that Farscape ranks right up there with Trek and Wars and BSG at top tier sci Fi.
@jasoncaldwell5627 I'm eagerly waiting for her reaction when she meets the man in black. My fav character ever.
@@jacobdeweil3553 Yeah- he's Farscape Gul Dukat character- someone with selfish (and not so selfish) ambitions that you live to hate and who's performance is always amazing.
Pilot made me cry.
Hands down one of the best shows. A hill i will die on.
But not alone!
+1
You won't die on that hill alone.
Henson studios brought us on the journey of a lifetime!
Not alone!
+ another 1
Farscape has to one of the best written and character driven series ever.
One thing that shows Crichton's character is he blurted out "what is wrong with you people" not something along the lines of "what are you." He doesn't judge by looks or someone being non-human.
“Whomever killed my brother will pay dearly…”
“YOUR BROTHER CAN’T DRIVE!”
😂❤😂
He's not called Crais because he's got a particularly even keel.
BSG had no aliens. Farscape has *all* the aliens! Enjoy this trip!
And ALIEN aliens- not just a funky ear or nose ridge. (I mean, not as crazy as we can get with good CGI, but for the time...)
frell yeah!
@@CyberBeep_kenshi 😁😁
Crichton's father (Kent McCord) used to be on the series Galactica 1980. The original series had aliens
@@timmooney7528 Really old people like me remember Kent McCord from Adam-12. It did not have aliens.
Frelling Yotz!! I've missed this show!
Fun fact: Commander Crais is also the voice of Pilot.
Never fear, there are emotions. LOTS of emotions. You'll laugh, you'll cry. It'll be a good ride.
One aspect of Farscape that I love (and is safe to say this early) is that it loves scifi tropes, but it loves them more when they're on their head and spun until they're dizzy.
Oh, your show has a beautiful, orchestral theme song? We're going to make ours a weird, primal chorus of grunts and wails.
Humans have an earned their rightful place in space travel? Well, our boy Crichton is pretty confused all the time and way out of his element. He's able to contribute, though.
Your main characters work as a team to solve their problems? Our crew hates and mistrusts each other and is barely able to run away from their problems.
And so on and so forth.
I love this show. It seeps into your bones.
That was something I noticed on rewatch. The 1st season is practically speedrunning all the standard Sci-fi tropes, because they aren't what the show is actually about. They are just easy situations to put the cast through to figure out the characters. And starting in season 2, it's not the wacky situations that drive things forward, it's the wacky characters that start really driving things up to 11. And then S3....well, John just embraces the madness just a little too enthusiastically & suddenly the fish out of water is riding a bicycle & flipping the bird at the sharks circling him.
The nicest football player in High School grows up & befriends all the Drama and Art students.
And they spend the next 4 seasons trying to kill him.
That summed it too.
Love this show. Gets exponentially better every few episodes.
Completely agree.
The nerd in my head agrees.
OMG!!! You’re reacting to Farscape!! My favorite SciFi TV show of all time. I’ve rewatched the series multiple times.
And later, Babylon 5! I'm looking forward to that just as much as this Farscape watch. Both shows had slow starts, but ramped up fast and have *all* the emotions. There are only two kinds of people in this world, those who have actually seen "Sleeping in Light", and those who *don't* instantly tear up at those three words.
it's been........gosh, FAR too long since I did a full watch-through of this show. this show definitely made me a weirder person than I used to be.
@@zippomage I used to rewatch a couple times a year. Now I’m in an online group that does a rewatch. I would say my number of rewatches is low 20’s.
@@bobwilliams1827 I feel like part of the resistance i hit when trying to rewatch it is the pilot is awesome but can be a lil rough
@@zippomage I completely understand. When I run into those issues, I remind myself that the show is more than 25 years old. And I decide to Love for the show it is. 😃
John: The normal one
Crais: REVEEEEEEENGE!
D'Argo: Fight me!
Rygel: Don't touch me, peasants!
Aeryn: Good soldiers follow orders
Zhaan: Super chill... except when she's not
Pilot: I wish they'd all just go away
😂
Pretty dead on.
Farscape is a real trip ... the characters become so good you forget they are puppets :)
The thing to know about this series is that it was a big inspiration for James Gunn when he made Guardians of the Galaxy, to the point Ben Brower, the main hero Criton, is in Guardians 2 as a minor villain (he is the Sovreign's second in command)
And like Guardians of the Galaxy, you will both laugh hysterically and sob as this show goes on
The emotions are Real in this show
He also, jokingly, told Gunn "You copied my show" on the set of Guardians 2
I did not realize this. Thanks
@@Byrthor Not really a joke.
OK, so Browder was in Farscape, Stargate, Marvel, and Doctor Who.
Shame he couldn't find his way into Star Wars and Star Trek.
Yeah Farscape!
Claudia has done a lot of voice work, dubbing anime among other things, Virginia Hey was a Bond girl (The Living Daylights) and was in Mad Max 2 - The rest of the cast is mostly known for their work in Australia - which is where they made Farscape. For what you see on the screen, this show was done on the very cheap, they got a lot out of their money too. Occassionally you'll see them reuse effect shots and makeup... They were very good at making the best show they could for as cheap as they could
They constantly competed with Star Wars for resources.
@@Dularr and Star Wars benefitted, Farscape help train a whole lot of stagehand and fx techs how do to the job, and do it cheap
Notably, Claudia Black was a voice actress in Mass Effect 2 & 3.
The cast also *really* loved being on the show, and their characters.
One of the tricks they did was make the Leviathan corridors and rooms so they could be easily refurbished for completely new scenery. This might sound like something standard, but in most cases of this (like Trek) the corridors have sections removed for the cameras to move in - not so on Farscape (it's why the rooms and tunnels on Moya are so big). They literally just moved stuff around.
I absolutely loved Ben Browder and Claudia Black back in the day in Farscape, and years later had my mind blown to smithereens when Stargate SG-1 hired them both for the later seasons of SG-1 where they continued to be some of the best actors ever in SciFi or any genre. So happy you're watching the show, hope you enjoy it :)
Interstellar: Between stars
Intergalactic: Between galaxies
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic = Beastie Boys
To give an idea of scale: the moon is 1.3 light seconds away, the sun 8.3 light minutes, pluto 5.3 light hours, the nearest star 4.3 light years. Our galaxy is 100,000 light years across, the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away and much bigger.
"Is this what they would consider a wormhole?" Oh boy, we've just opened the can of wormholes.
The contents of that can go great with crackers
So many worms in that hole 😳
......and all of them wearing tight leather for some reason 😬
Now she must begin the best wormhole show. STARGATE.
@@michaelconnor1542 - That is the holy wormhole.
@@michaelconnor1542 different kind of worms. Different kind of holes. 😳😖😅
One of the top sci-fi shows ever and it only gets better and better through the seasons. So happy to see someone reacting to this show!
I am glad that atleast it got a ending.
Farscape starts out kind of formula and tame, but by the end of the 1st season once they figure out who the characters are and the stories they want to tell it becomes pure awesomeness.
Because they used the formula to explore the characters, it was ' we have these wacky characters, & we know what Kirk or Picard would do in this situation, what about Crichton? Kirk would fight, Picard would negotiate, will Crichton try evasion, deception, or will he simply strap a nuke to his @ss dare someone to shoot him?'
Claudia Black was also in 'Pitch Black,' and has done a bunch of video game voice work (particularly in the Uncharted series). She was also in 'The Nevers.' And of course the later seasons of Stargate SG-1 as Vala Mal Doran.
She was recently too in Ahsoka as one of the Nightsister Mothers.
Mass Effect 2 & 3
Morrigan in Dragon Age as well.
Here is something that isn't apparent. Lani Tupu, the actor who plays Captain Craise (Evil Goatee guy) plays two parts in this show as he is also a part of the regular crew. He is the voice of Pilot.
I hate this because I love Pilot but Crais is a goober 😂
@@funnylilgalreacts Just goes to show the range of the actor. I can't wait for you to experience the range of both of his characters.
Starburst !!!
Evil military commander and harassed accountant. 👍
@@funnylilgalreacts Yeah, Crais is kind of a dick, but I'm sure this is not the last we see of him. Also, this show has a few cameos, and returning actors and actresses playing different parts. Browder's own wife has three or four guest starring roles in ALL the different makeups. Farscape has something that is sadly lacking in many other sci fi shows. It's hard to put your finger on exactly what it is, as many people argue, but all of the fans agree that it is somehow more fulfilling and enjoyable than the vast majority of other sci fi tv shows.
Obligatory:
Firefly is an exception that also fills this need. If you ask fans to choose between the two, you will start a war.
Don't do it.
I know the golden rule is ‘Show, Don’t Tell’ but, unfortunately, you just have to accept that D’Argo is a great warrior without seeing any proof of it.
The prosthetics for D’Argo were constantly being worked on and improved throughout season one but, at this early stage of production, Anthony Simcoe could barely turn his head while wearing the costume, much less fight in it. (That’s why he has to spin his whole body around to face people.)
So, for now, just give D’Argo the benefit of the doubt. 😉
This. He's got the Batman syndrome of being an expert martial artist in lore even if the acts we see on screen are limited due to the costume.
*D'Oubt 😉
In all fairness, he's been chained up for a couple of years, he's extremely rusty in the pilot episode.
Lol, I remember from an interview he couldn't even get his sword out of that back-scabbard. So scary...
I mean, the big twist for Dargo is, he's not at all what he presents himself to be, in more than one.
I'm so stoked that you're watching Farscape. This show has one of the best villains of all time.
Yes, I love Grayza
@@AlexandreMS71 Oh come on, it's obviously a reference to Harvey.
@@user-wm4yj3ux9r yes, but maybe
@@AlexandreMS71 Grayza s underestimated. She's the only sane villain on this show.
@@alphanerd7221 I fear her more than any other one.
B5 and Farscape are top tier sci-fi. Pioneering for their time and with modest budgets. Looking forward to watching this entire playlist !!

Angela: i don't know if there's depth or emotions....
Me: Oh boy 🙃
Enjoy the ride, it's an old show and can seem familiar but i can comfortably say that there's some stuff in it you never seen, anywhere, ever.
I would give anything to watch Fasrcape for the first time again😢
Well on the bright side watching along with Angela will kind of be like watching it for the first time. Because we’ll get to see it through her reactions.
I wasn't expecting this. Very Nice! One of my favorite shows. SPACE SHIT!
SPACE DREN!!!
I got into Farscape because it was one of the first sci-fi shows to come out on the new format of "DVDs" in the UK. Hooked from the get-go. Convinced many people to watch it over the years and it's a real shame it isn't as popular as other shows, everyone who watches it loves it. You're in for a wild wild ride. Only Firefly comes close for taking you through the same emotional range as a single episode of Farscape can.
That little guy is a DRD. You'll love this show. This show is unlike any other. And youll meet my fav character later in the season. He is amazing
Stark?
@@BryonLape The Scarren/Sebacean Hybird. We don't want to give away spoilers for her. Lol
@@jacobdeweil3553 ok but is your favourite S or H because we technically meet both if I remember correctly
@alexandersteel7272 Both but H a little more than S.
Pfft.
C is where it's at. Creighton won't be the baby of the bunch anymore.
Farscape was a big inspiration for James Gunn when he made Guardians of the Galaxy, so much so that he cast Ben Browser in a cameo in GoG 2.
This show really managed to stretch their production budget to support the story telling. All I'm going to say is, you're in for a hell of a ride.
Ben Browder and Claudia Black also team up later in Stargate SG1 seasons, 9 and 10. They are a great acting duo. They play well off each other each..
"This is not Kansas anymore." She said the thing!!!
This show is so underrated!
Wow! I can’t believe you’re reacting to Farscape. You will love it and there’s lots of space $#!+
Prepare to add "Frell" to your active daily vocabulary list. Right next to Frack.
Favorite description of this show is that it is a harrowing exploration of one American's descent into the Australian BDSM scene
Yes! This and Stargate are the two shows that should be on the must watch list.
I'm so glad you are reacting to Farscape! It doesn't show up on reaction channels nearly as often as shows like BSG or Firefly, but it definitely should.
Welcome to the bizarre, wacky world of Farscape Angela. As an Australian I have a special place in my heart for this show given it's one of ours and it's full of Aussies and Kiwis.
Farscape is the "space shit" you've been looking for and the "space shit" we all deserve. Have fun.
OMG!! Never though I'd see this reaction... WhoooHoooo!
This is one of my absolute favorite series. ❤❤
The first season is good, but the three-part episode "Liars, Guns, and Money" toward the end of season two is peak Farscape. One of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time--it's just so weird and different.
I actually got to hang out with the cast at a party back at the end of season three, and interviewed Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Anthony Simcoe, and Gigi Edgley for a magazine that I worked for at the time. They all seemed really nice.
John nearly blowing his own head off because he doesn't understand the weapons is my favorite moment.
Now this was a real surprise. I'm quite glad you're giving this a go. I think I might just rewatch this with you. Awesome choice Angela.
One of the names in this that interests me is the creator/executive producer Rockne S. O'Bannon. His sci fi stuff always has interesting aliens, but his schtick is not evil aliens we have to fight (so human motives are never in question--we are always justified in what we do), but a group of very different aliens who have to work together towards a common goal. Competing motives are always important for him, and sometimes we can come off not so well and aliens can appear more sympathetic. His stuff is about negotiating difference and finding what we have in common. It makes for more complex and interesting plots, better stories.
Any relation to Dan O'Bannon?
Farscape has been in my top 3 Sci-Fi series of all times for decades and continues to hold it's place.
One of the best sci-fi series ever created. And a great example of a character driven story telling.
Every character is interesting and feel 3 dimensional.
It's a great watch all around.
Honestly one of the best and underrated scifi shows ever made. You'll fall in love with the story, character development and relations.
Believe me, there is no scifi quite like Farscape. So unpredictable and charmingly weird. Claudia Black is an amazing actress and is an icon as Aeryn Sun. Always loved the amount of color that is used in this show, which contrasts to the usual muted colors in other scifi. Farscape had a tiny budget for such an ambitious story but they never held back and tried to go as big as they could.
Other than Farscape and Stargate SG-1, Claudia Black is in:
Pitch Black - the start of the Riddick franchise
The Nevers
Ahsoka
The Originals
And for the Gamers:
She is Uncharted's Chloe Frazer
FFXIV narrator (and the Leviathan in worlds of FF)
Original God of War's Artemis (not the new one set with the other Pantheon)
Destiny 1 & 2 - Tess Everis
several voices in Mass Effect 2 & 3
Gear of War 3 & 4 - Samantha Byrne
@@ChibiHoshiDragon ...How are you not mentioning Morrigan from the Dragon Age series?
@@zincorium1 I didn't so much forget as I limited my list to either games I played or if I didn't, the games had over 10 million copies sold.
Dragon Age Origins sold only 3.2 million copies, Inquisition sold 6 million. Less than 10 million.
Whereas, The Uncharted games she was in sold almost 30 million total (2 sold 6, 3 sold 6, 4 sold 15, only Lost Legacy did poorly.)
FFXIV sold 24 million
Destiny has over 25 million subscribers
God of War 2005 sold 4.6 but I played it
Gear of War and Mass Effect I've played
So glad you are watching Farscape!!!
I kept thinking, "Well, we finished BSG, what now?" And now you are following up with two of my other favorite sci-fi shows, FarScape and Babylon 5.
FarScape started with 'what the hell is this' and quickly snared me because of my love of anything Henson. Babylon 5, my brother and I would get a six pack of IBC root beer, get a pizza, and watch the show while playing Magic: The Gathering during commercials. It was one of our best bonding times and remains one of my happy thoughts all these years later.
Effects and makeup just keep getting better as you go.
Can't wait to share another journey with you!
Ahhhh B5, the king of sci-fi shows. I believe it might be getting remade too.
Farscape Continues!
I'm so happy you're watching this.
Oh I just thought of a Battlestar Galactica connection - Kent McCord, the actor playing John’s father played Capt Troy. A colonial warrior in the Galactica 1980 series.
We older people remember him from even further back, in the classic cop show Adam-12.
Captain Troy was the original shows Boxey all grown up, There was a sizeable continuity time jump between OG battlestar and Galatica 1980.. there's some things i liked about the 1980 show. But even as a kid myself back then it was far out weighed by the terrible lol.. Wish the studio hadn't massacred the production and just let it continue developing.. 😢😭
What?!?!?! Am I seeing things Harvey? Are we really watching this?!?!🤩🤩🤯🤯
The difference is Interstellar = Between stars. Intergalactic = Between Galaxies. Farscape was such a good show, the Firefly of its age and the Crichton and Aeryn relatioinship is something you should keep an eye on if you watch more it becomes the soul of the show and the chemistry those two actors had was magic on screen.
This show has ALL the feels
Ah! I'm so excited to see this come up. Farscape is special. What a trip we have before us. Here we go! :)
Pilot, Starburst !!!
Farscape! The greatest love story of all time!!
First response to seeing Claudia Black, "she's pretty." Lol.
Oh here we go! --- "Look upward, and share... the wonders I've seen."
Farscape is cooky and weird in the best way ever.
Claudia and Ben reunite after this on Stargate SG1 but in the later seasons, but its also a great series.
Also the actor is Ben Browder, he was in Guardians of the galaxy as one of the Gold ppl, can't remember their name.
I also love that it's unapologetically horny. So, so horny. lmao
I loved the fact that this series had plenty of humor while exploring a wonderful storyline. In the most alien of circumstances, humor is what always makes it feel more human.
The MAKEUP on these characters is TIMELESS. That's one practical effect that doesn't age!
This show is hands down the best ever Sci-Fi show ever made. Zero budget for CGI so they just did practical. Chefs kiss, more shows should return to doing that.
Lets Frellin Go.
HELL YEAH! Clicked so fast this is my favorite show!!!
I was probably around 20 when I first saw this... all the episodes hadn't even aired yet (I think you and I are roughly the same age, Angela)
Farscape had a unique form of anarchy on set. If anyone had a good idea, from the top writers, actors, and even the caterers, it was used in the show.
Ben Browder was also in an episode of Doctor Who. Matt Smith era.
This is my all time favorite show. Best Alien design of all time. Also, this is Brian Henson. Jim wasn't involved, though they do use designs developed while Henson was alive.
John... Ben Browder.... also plays Cameron Mitchell in the later seasons of Stargate SG-1, another GREAT sci-fi show.
Yeah Stargate got good as it went on. A lot of the early episodes had them running around forests in Canada though pretending it was on different worlds! And it mattered not a jot, which is why I shake my head at eejits moaning about effects in big budget tv shows today!
Farscape is amongst my favourite sci-fi series. But fair warning - it isn't always light hearted. It has its dark moments.
Ben Browder and Claudia Black later joined the Stargate SG1 series.
The cute little robots are DRDs- they're biomechanical living things that perform maintenance and repairs for Moya.
Moya is a Leviathan - a living Starship kinda like a space whale. No weapons, but a limited shield that the starburst ability to run.
Pilot is just that- he's Moya's pilot- a separate being.
Sebations are humans in that part of the galaxy. They are the Peacekeepers.
You'll learn more about them as things go on.
Yay! Farscape! Johnny is a dreamboat
Oh, wow, Farscape? That's a show I haven't watched in AGES. Well, this should be fun.
"It's not Bear McCrary...."
yeah, spatial choir and synth pads were the thing in the 90's.
it's like, if you couldn't afford the London orchestra, or the Boston orchestra, all that was left was GarageBand.
You're in for a beautiful and wild ride with this show.
I love this shownso much. For me, the newness and weirdness never wear off, and it always has elements of "crazy fever dream" in the best ways possible.
This is an incredible example of good science fiction with truly unique aliens (courtesy of the Jim Henson company and creator Rockne S. O'Bannon) and very diverse, strong female characters. I love it. And there really are some Wizard of Oz parallels. In addition to the whole "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore" of it, there's also the fact that the main character's arrival resulted in the accidental death of that Peacekeeper commander's brother. And, of course, the quest to get home.
This is one of my absolute favorite series I highly encourage you to follow on with all its seasons this show was absolutely incredible!
Farscape is one of the BEST shows ever aired! It continually broke new ground while surprising and delighting the audience. It is a WILD ride and worth every single minute of it!
Oh frell. Let's goooo!
What I loved about this show is that - if you're familiar with other sci-fi shows - you'll recognize some tropes and story beats, but they ALL get turned on their heads.
Ooh, Girl! I know you’ve just started this journey, but let me tell you now - you are in for THE wildest ride!
They let the friction between the characters build and there will be some shocking incidents before even half the season is done, but I can guarantee that by the end of the first season you will love every single one of them - and then, THEN that is when they will really put you through it! The whole thing is genius from start to finish! Enjoy! x
Fucking love this show!!!!!! woohoo!!!!!
aawwwww, i heart you. :D this is def my speed - i do well when there's a hint of comedy in my space shit; like i love bsg and the expanse, but i tend to prefer lighter hearted fare normally because i need t hat lightness. B5 i could never really get into myself - but i know plenty that love it. DW i loved the first season but they lost me later, so i'll prolly only stick around for a couple seasons of that...
ooohhh, i like the flg title screen.
your cursing will nicely adapt from frak to frell... lol
translator microbes are much preferential to me than babelfish, just sayin... like i love hitchhiker's guide, but i'd rather this than a fish in my brain.
FYI, the guy whose brother was killed is named Crais (you called him "goatee", lol), and he also voices Pilot. :)
Crichton is played by Ben Browder. He took over the main lead in SG1 after Macgyver left... lol. And I'd never thought about it before, but you're right, he was chris evans before chris evans, lol...
I didn't even clock Murray Bartlett from TLOU. And when i went and looked him up I realized he also played Mouse in the latest Tales of the City season and was in S1 of the White Lotus (i watched S1, but wasn't really interested in S2 so far, it's something i have to be in the mood for).
Claudia Black - will always be Aeryn Sun to me.
and i mean, this show is a quarter century old... it's like when we were kids watching stuff from the 60's (remember mr. ed the talking horse).
I was early mid 20's when i watched it, just graduated from college and the bf and i moved to Vegas (the first time). also, yes, love the 90's style, it was the best...
OP, like OPLA or the anime? because i am all in on OPLA and absolutely loved it, couldn't do the anime, i did try - 3 times... i did watch 3 animes recently, which was surprising...
i think the space shit show AFTER these big ones (B5, DrW, Farscape), my vote is For All Mankind or something in the new trek universe if you aren't watching those (SNW or LD - LD is one of the few animated shows i love)... Red Dwarf and The Orville are pretty good, but i don't think RD would be your thing, it's also old AF...
👆this is Shannon, you can thank her for getting me to mix this in 😅
Space shit + Henson puppets... that should be all that needs to be said, lol
I liked Claudia Black in the later seasons of Star Gate a lot as well.
I loved her character, did NOT like the relationship.
Thank You Shannon. This show and Babylon 5 are my favorite older shows... "Space Sh!t" as Angela would say 🌻✌️😸
Absolutely excited to follow you on this journey. I only got into farscape 10 years ago and it was a blast for my partner and I. The show feels different compared to most other scifi.
I’m so happy you’re reacting to this show this is one of my favorite shows ever. I was part of the save Farscape movement. Some of the best scifi ever made, I look forward to seeing your reaction. Her name is Winona and she never jams.
This was a transitional show - the first three seasons will be in the old school 4:3 aspect ratio and they'll switch to the newer widescreen aspect ratio for season 4.
BSG was filmed in Canada and showcased some great canadian character actors, Farscape was filmed in Australia and showcases some great Aussie character actors.. Claudia Black and Virginia Hey for starters
The yellow guy is a Farscape D.R.D. - Diagnostic Repair Drone. As seen on Leviathan class transports. They are necessary for the Leviathan's continued operation. 😊
Just so you know this show has lots of space ships as well as some very exotic looking aliens. 😁
In all fairness... John's ship was floating in space when the Peacekeeper Prowler hit it with a glancing blow that spun the prowler around enough to cause it to collide with an asteroid...so not John's fault. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. 😢
Moya is a bio-mechanoid lifeform. A living sentient ship. Our crew members are Pilot - the ships navigator and liaison, Ka D'argo - a Luxan Warrior, Rygel the XVIth a Hynerian Dominar, P'au Zotoh Zhaan - a Delvian Priestess, Officer Aeryn Sun - a Peacekeeper Commando of the Plaisar Regiment.
Captain Bialar Crais is in charge of the Peacekeeper Command Carrier. Sebacean by race along with Aeryn Sun. 😊
Interstellar = The space or void between stars within the same galaxy.
Intergalactic = The space or void between two galaxies such as Andromeda and the Milky Way. 😅
Claudia Black was in the Vin Diesel sci-fi movie Pitch Black which was the first movie in the Chronicles of Riddick trilogy. It was very reminiscent of Ridley Scott's Alien. 😮
Farscape is an acid trip. You will love it 😊
"Evil Goatee Guy" does the voice of Pilot.
Farscape is far and away my favorite sci-fi TV series ever. The reason is simple - risk-taking. This show never shied away from taking risks that other shows would never dare.
Oh, didn't now this was coming. Very nice.
My dad and I used to watch this when I was young. I also received the Bluray special edition for Christmas. It's one of my all-time favorite shows. I'm glad you're checking it out.
My level of excitement that you are watching this show is through the roof!! Poor Farscape gets so overlooked when it was some of the best sci-fi media, not just for it's own time, but of ALL time! Plus, muppets! Also I 100% never noticed you had a DRD back there 🤣
