I am following the Peacock streaming order in case there is confusion. Some of the episodes are swapped so I’m expecting to have weird moments in the future. Like weird because continuity is an issue, not the everyday weird with series ☺️
Full length watch along format is on Patreon, try for free for 7 days. All full length watch along tiers include early access so you will be able to see the next reaction before the rest of UA-cam! patreon.com/funnylilgalreacts
No spoilers, just wanted to say, there are some episodes that get a bit weird, but are still fun. There are others that get really intense with great depth and performances. I have always enjoyed how different this show is compared to most run of the mill sci-fi shows.
2:39 Men, can age gracefully. You did/are Angela. You look the same from your first video, which was years ago. You look like you haven't aged a day.
Even though you always comment about feeling like an old lady. LoL
Having just looked up the Peacock streaming order, I'm shocked they offered the Premier as the first episode. Maybe you'll get lucky with any 2-parters and get to see part 2 first.
Seriously though, I hope somebody helped you catch that early on so you could start watching the correct episode order.
I think the episode order is only a little weird in early season 1, after that it should be normal if I recall correctly
Even then the production is weird. I kept having to check if I missed episodes.
"This show took a turn" is, like, the tagline for the entire series.
We not even to the cartoons yet.
Or the real threats!
If any show from 20 years ago deserves reactions, it is this show. Thanks.
It’s one I’ve always heard is good, but never had the chance to look into… so Angela doing so is really nice for that too.
@@borjankosarac3645 No. Watch the show. It merits attention.
It's not biological contamination that the Peacekeepers are afraid of exposing their soldiers to, but rather cultural contamination, Ideas like thinking for yourself and disobeying your officers, compassion, investing in the stock market, and thinking non-Sabathans are people too.
No it's biological contamination. Crais just abuses that standard to screw Aeryn over because she was sympathetic to John who he hates.
@@alphanerd7221
There is a reason why 63 of us, and counting, upvoted @reverance_pavane
The series intends the contamination to be cultural; Farscape is seeped in allegorical history.
Soviets in WW2 considered their soldiers contaminated if they had been captured by the Germans.
@@ChibiHoshiDragon You are really into being wrong and long winded.
@@alphanerd7221
Given that you have ZERO upvotes and the OP has 67... You are the one who is really into being wrong, not me.
@@alphanerd7221 And you think that was "long"? It doesn't even break 50 words.
That was very short in comparison to my usual fair.
You have no clue what verbose really is.
It’s cultural contamination. Her showing mercy is a weakness.
Yeah I came to say the same, with it being more about exposure to thoughts and ideas not in keeping with the ethics and ethos of the peacekeepers.
What's pretty cool about John is he isn't the action hero in this series, he's the scientist, the brains. Aren is the actual action hero both because of her military training and her approach to most situations. The fascinating thing will be how their qualities rub off on each other during the course of the series (as well as some amazing chemistry and sexual tension, the stuff of television legend here)
aeryn
If Rygel farted every time he lied, Moya would be filled with helium.
He lies as easily as he breathes.
After all this time, I still think puppetry is a better choice for non-humanoid aliens than CGI. I’d love to see another series use it this effectively.
CGI has its limitations, particularly for TV. Visually it has gotten pretty good, but you still have issues with CGI believably inhabiting a space - light, weight and movement will often seem off and of course you have the issue of the actors having to imagine what is there.
Puppets have the advantage of being physically in the space where they can directly interact with live actors and the environment around them, along with the ability to improvise and experiment in the moment just like an actor.
This show makes plentiful use of both tools where appropriate, for example the moment in this episode where Rigel walks over to meet the bugs is CGI, because puppets have their limitations too. CGI and puppetry working together will usually offer the best of both worlds (Jurassic Park being the standout example).
@@dargron7614 Agreed. Both tools have their place. I’d hate to choreograph a fight between puppets and actors, for instance. In that situation, mocap & CGI for the alien would be the better choice
I agree with you. There is much to be said for a physical object the actors can react to, that the lighting and even breezes interact with and the overall lighting matches the scenes.
If they aren't careful with the CGI the character movements don't seem natural, like they drop a few frames, or you can have humans jump without the weight and gravity so they are almost like a tick jumping about. . .
puppetry and animatronics are superior if you ask me. Compare the first Jurassic park to the more recent ones. Those CGI dinos have nothing on that animatronic T-Rex and those animatronic velociraptors.
@@Krista2882 The original JP used a combination of puppetry, animatronics, and CGI. The full body shot of the T. rex roaring was full CGI. And it still looks amazing.
As others on this thread have pointed out, each of the tools have their uses. Over-reliance on any of them can hurt the artistic quality of a show or movie.
One of the overall philosophies from the writing crew of the show was "what can we do that Star Trek DOESN'T do" 🤔
Babylon 5 had a similar idea; it took a lot of things that Star Trek did, like humans and aliens co-existing and forming alliances, and showed the politics and conflicts that would occur in a society like that
but they managed to walk the line between too weird and normal scify perfectly (and kept everything in one realm of believe/kept logic in the series), on the contrary to for example the series Lexx, which is equally weird, but in a really bad (and inconsistent, unlogical) way.
@@anashiedler6926 Lexx, good head in every episode.
@@najhoant Babylon 5 was just the boring office version of Trek.
@@redrick8900 You must not have watched B5 very far. It gets to a point of nearly-nonstop goosebumps.
oh Moya! To quote our dear Captain Reynolds about the '1st rule of flying'...
"Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turnin' o' worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down. Tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home."
Good stuff!
I love how fleshed out the characters are in this show. Even the 'puppets' like Rygel and Pilot have real personalities that go beyond the caricatures you see at first the more the show goes on.
The puppeteered characters also benefit heavily from being in the Henson environment, where they are never treated as less-thans in storytelling. From writing to performance, they are given as much attention as flesh and blood characters.
One aspect of puppet work is, in many ways, the characters must have an inner dialogue which the puppeteers work with and express through gesture, since facial expression is limited.
The work they do with gesture and (either themselves or VO actors) voice must be impeccable for the character to come to life. It is truly a remarkable art form.
@@AngeloBarovierSD there were hilarious behind the scenes interactions between the cast and the "puppets" ..they really treated them like full characters
I love seeing the beginning of the D'Argo/Crichton and Pilot/Aeryn friendships in this episode
yes! more farscape. one more episode closer to the best 'bad guy' in SF history (imho)
agree!
@@dustinprice648 i don't wanna spoil it lol. but man... so good, so so good ;-)))
Chiana?
@@rcrawford42 nooo, Chiana is a delight! ;)
Let's just say..... Black leather?
Culturally contaminated, not cooties.
No it's cooties.
I really wish streaming services would get the order right. It makes no sense to not put the episode "I, E.T." after any of the ones they put it after. It's supposed to be the second episode. John is realizing HE is the alien in this world. And there's conversations and actions that take place in it that make no sense unless it happens earlier on.
There's a lot of episodes that seem non chronological, I thought that was deliberate.
how far off do they go?
The actress playin Zahnn ... Was a background singer in the first video on MTV , Video Killed the Radio Star...She was also a female warrior in Mad Max: The Road Warrior
ua-cam.com/video/HRXeBKys-Sw/v-deo.html
They used a different model in the video. But she did appear in their live performances.
As far I remember only Bond girl who's been topless in a Bond film
Virginia Hey is the actress. This, Mad Max: The Road Warrior and the Living Daylights are probably her biggest and most well known roles.
In an interview, she revealed that she had to completely shave her head for the role. She hadn't realized this at first; her agent failed to tell her. Brian Henson was willing to find an alternate way to do the make-up to let her keep her hair but the takes with a "alien helmet" she thought looked terrible and so she did the work herself. The interesting thing is that Zahn is SO different from Virginia herself, and she loved the role, being a spiritual mother for the ship and it's crew.
Unfortunately, the blue make-up also proved to be a problem, as she found herself constantly getting ill. As the series goes on you'll notice they have her wear more clothing so they can use less blue make-up, mostly on her hands and face. There's more to that but it ventures into spoiler territory.
I recall seeing Virginia Hey on a documentary on human behavior. She was in a sequence where she was on a city street, and due to her beauty she received several looks from passers by. While most of it was positive, she also received some looks which appeared to be negative. It appeared as people were holding contempt for her because of her looks.
I found it interesting because the same physical attributes can make one approachable or non-approachable based on perceptions
In the context of a living ship, the DRDs are the equivalent of the ship's white blood cells.
People underestimating Crichton is pretty much a running theme for the first season.
The other woman with the white hair comes in later. She's fun.
Just found this channel yesterday. I never thought I'd watch a react channel, but it's fun watching a show I adore through the eyes of someone that's enjoying it.
Funnylilgal does a whole host of fun reactions. THE EXPANSE, AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER & KORRA, BLUE EYE SAMURAI, and now FALLOUT.
And she just started on NuWho.
Yet another great show that i feel many missed, i love that Ben and Claudia came to Stargate and even had a spoof episode that referenced Farscape!
That was one of my favorite references 😂😂😂 Thor dressed as Rigel is great 😊
Episode 200
Yutz!
Has she watched that show, or did you just drop a spoiler here for her...? 🤔
@SuperDave1426 it's not a spoiler it has nothing to do with the actual plot of the episode. It's the same as if someone mentions a specific actor being in the film/show
What I love the most about this show is it’s portrayal of an American interacting with aliens everything he says it’s either pop-culture reference or a metaphor even though they understand every word he saying they still don’t know what the hell he’s talking about😂
Farscape is by far some of my favorite Sci-Fi ever.
The Henson Company really knocked it out of the park and into the other side of the galaxy! The whole series is a vehicle for amazing storytelling, visually delicious frames, and inventive vulgarity.
and Zhaan is an absolute darling of the series.
Every time someone gets squicked out about eating the bodily secretions of some creature, I just want to ask them how they feel about eggs, milk and cheese.
I know, right?
I eat those things, but when I think about it, I still get squicked out.
Ah eggs, delicious bird ovulations.
You know Dairy goes through a process that makes it stop being disgusting, right?
@@alphanerd7221 That's not the point. It's the pninciple of the matter.
Just so that you are aware, You are watching the aired episode order and not the filmed episode order for season 1. Scifi channel screwed around with the episodes in the beginning. This causes a couple of episodes to feel out of place. The second episode filmed is I,ET, which was aired 7th. So suddenly everyone will seem less trusting of each other out of nowhere. The true filmed order is 1)Premier, 2)I,ET, 3)Exodus From Genesis, 4)Throne of loss, 5)Back and back and back to the future, 6))Thank god its Friday... again, 7)PK tech girl. I believe the order fixes itself after that.
Yes I am aware ☺️
I didn't know that. That helps me. Thanks.
Though it's actually a little more complicated than that since in the early days they filmed multiple episodes at once (I think for the 1st 4 or 6? It's been a minute since I learned this.) They pretty quickly learned that was a mistake and went back to filming one ep at a time.
Farscape is one of the most addicting television series I've ever come across - and for the best reasons. Can't wait for you to see season 2!
Tickled me when she mentioned Australia. Half the crew is Australian, Claudia Black, Anthony Simcoe, and Gina Edgley are from Australia.
Pilot's story is amazing. Really love that guy. Zahn is Virginia Hey, The wite rear gunner from The Road Warrior. Shes been great for ages!! Really love her work her. Zahn is the real heart of the ship!
The first season they were in survival mode for the series. So the writers and showrunner were more into World building versus character.
The Hensons really love secondary motion on their puppets; things that make the character appear more dynamic without having to be directly puppeteered - hence the eyebrows.
You may want to consider more than one episode a week. There are several episodes that are 'to be continued' linked. The question is, do you really want to commit to the better part of two years to complete this project?
I don't care what order you react to the episodes in, as long as you are reacting. The order issue is only in the first half of the first season. And this was a great reaction! So glad you are watching this series!
37:00 Zahn is the mother of the ship. The same way you are the mother to your Nieces and Nephews, Happy Mother's Day 🌻
Angela
That point where John and Aeryn look like they are outside, they are on what is called the Terrace. It is a part of the ship where you can see the outside and it is protected by what seems to be some shield to keep them from going into space.
Every sci fi, “there are copies” 😂
One of the best thing the show does is discuss things that most shows dont touch - like brushing your teeth in space, or feast and famine situation of needing to eat while millions of kms from anywhere
Prepare yourself, the Hensons basically get to go Full. Henson. on this shit...
I always want the Full Henson
@@funnylilgalreacts "The Happytime Murders"
Its indeed a key development moment for John. But it was not killing the bug. It was him negotiating with it....and his interaction with the Peacekeepers.
A shadow of things to come.
Again the world building is solid, but it takes a bit of time to get there.
Zhaan is great. Glad to see you like her. She has a lot of depth and I think you'll enjoy seeing all the ways the show explores her character.
The s1 score can definitely be a bit overbearing and distracting at times. As the show progresses it steps back a bit while retaining its signature weirdness (with some added moments of absolute operatic awesomeness) and becomes the kind of storytelling complement you'd expect.
Pilot is voiced by Lani Tupu, who plays Crais (the Peacekeeper who wants to kill John because his brother was a bad pilot).
I would say in general, it's better not to point that out.
eventually new watchers will notice it, but thinking about such things just takes the immersion level down.
@@jeeenyus4385
You think new watchers don't remember the dead near-miss pilot was Crais' brother or that Crais wants to kill John after having such a gleeful voice about dissection?
He has some great episodes as Crais over the series.
@@ChibiHoshiDragonI think it was more about the voice acting.....
Did you notice that when Dargo gets the metal splinter, he starts to cleanse his wound?
Ben and Claudia both had major roles in stargate SG1 For the last three seasons. If anyone could step into Richard Dean Anderson's shoes is Ben. Claudia's portrayal of Vala might be the most delightful of her career. While I love Aeryn Sun, Vala is pure joy. Don't miss the peacekeepers wars at the end of the series. If the start of the series seems frantic it only gets more. Own the blu-ray and have rewatched it many times.
Yeah, season 1 is mostly weird stand-alone-ish episodes like this, but there’s some really great character moments throughout. You’re gonna fall so in love with these characters. They have such fun & surprisingly emotional journeys over the course of the series. 😊❤
"Is this gonna be a stand-up fight, Sir, or another bug hunt?"
I adore your reactions. Yeah... this is actually episode 3.
I'm glad that you are aware of the messed up order on streaming sites.
The correct watch order for season 1 is the original production order, as stated by the show creators and the official Farscape website.
The correct watch order is as follows:
1. Premiere
2. I, E.T.
3. Exodus from Genesis
4. Throne for a Loss
5. Back and Back and Back to the Future
6. Thank God It's Friday, Again
7. PK Tech Girl
8. That Old Black Magic
9. DNA Mad Scientist
10. They've Got a Secret
11. Till the Blood Runs Clear
12. Rhapsody in Blue
13. The Flax
14. Jeremiah Crichton
15. Durka Returns
16. A Human Reaction
17. Through the Looking Glass
18. A Bug's Life
19. Nerve
20. The Hidden Memory
21. Bone to Be Wild
22. Family Ties
Please enjoy
A good way to describe farscape is "a chaotic and frantic wonder".
I am currently binge watching Farscape thanks to you, after watching you react to ep1. It has been years. This group still goes to CON's. Keep an eye out. You just might be able to meet them.
love to hear it!
When John asks Aeryn if they'd met at a party it was a reference to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy when Aurthur asks Trillion if they'd met at a party after being reunited on Zaphod's spaceship.
My biggest laugh was "why did he do that?!"... He Is A DOMINAR
This is gonna be a real fun series, and I'm glad you have such positive feelings towards Pilot - one of my consistently favorite characters.
Born in 1965, I'm first-generation Sesame Street kid, so I've always loved and appreciated the Henson Muppets and other creations.
The theme song for Farscape is one of the most unique and truly alien sci-fi sounds I've ever heard or has ever been put in fiction.
Zhaan is such a godess role. Beautiful, confident, wise, empathetic, intelligent and loving. She can also kick ass when she needs to. Love her character so much! All of them are great characters, she is my favorite.
Season 1 is a fun unique take. Feels like the creatires were just throwing out story concepts to see what sticks. But, season 2 had more direction. Regardless, theoughout the show run, youll feel compelled to return to previous seasons. And the fun thing about Fatacape something about the design, is it just always feels warm and welcoming.
#Farscape , #HeliumToots , #DominarRygelXVI
This is in my opinion is one of the best sci-fi shows ever put to television, very few shows hit the feels like Farscape. Hope you watch the full 4 seasons and the miniseries finale, enjoy
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy creator Douglas Adams used to write for Doctor Who, so there's the connection.
There is even an episode of Who which borrows heavily from Dirk Gently.
I think you missed something. When Crais talks about "contamination", it has nothing to do with viruses or illness.
Cultural contamination
The Peacekeepers are xenophobic, militaristic.
I think the actual policy might be a combination of preventing peacekeepers from influencing primitive life, spreading diseases in either direction, and the exchange of ideals that may lead a soldier to question orders.
Closer to the latter in my personal opinion. For what that matters. 😂
There's truth in both sides of this debate. The "current" Peacekeepers are operating under warped interpretations of their original rules.
The speed at which we went from complimenting the beauty of the Henson Workshop's characters to obkectively appaled and how creepy theu can make things was impressive.
Whilst "nest" and "hive" may have the same number of letters in English, I suspect the joke is also the writer's reminding us that John is the only one actually speaking English - everything else is magic injection doing the translating.
Glad you're having fun in this amazing universe, on to the next one!
"This show took a turn." Oh, you innocent little sci-fi fan, you have NO idea... just wait until you get through the show and to the movies 🤣
"Never swallow the dentic" - words to live by
My theory is that if you swallow a dentic it becomes a parasite inside you.
A Maurder is like a space Tank with very highly trained commandos aboard.
Zha'an is played by Virginia Hey. Prior to "Farscape", she was probably best known outside Australia for "Mad Max 2". She played the Warrior Woman.
"Don't lick people"?!? You saw D'argo's tongue. That's some of the most fun there is in, and off, this world.
The later seasons when some certain events happen and continue to last throughout is when I got super hooked and couldn’t stop watching. It became so entertaining
Some trivia: the voice of Pilot is done by the actor who plays Crais.
One of the endearing qualities of this show is the countless pop culture references throughout the entire series.
i.e: "Animal House".
Since you have already looked up which actors are in this, I feel comfortable pointing out that Lani Tupu plays Captain Crais -and- is the voice of Pilot. Also, Virginia Hey, who plays Zhaan, was also in The Road Warrior (1981). And yes, incredible performances all around. You are in for a huge treat with this series.
Back in the mid-2000s I used to go to a big convention in Atlanta & got to meet some of the cast including Virginia Hey (Zhaan)...she was SO incredibly sweet & chatted with me for quite awhile. She sold cd's of her doing meditations & I still have it. She was at the convention a few years in a row & always did a great job pretending that she remembered me, hahaha! I will never forget what a sweet, genuine person she was. 🥰
The Farscape formula became
Season premiere: everything blows up
Mid season: everything blows up
Season finale: everything blows up
Also this show did “bottle episodes” better than anyone.
There are so many odd and weird and interesting concepts this show explores in its own quirky way. I can’t wait to see more!
I've only seen a few random episodes of this series, but my impression is that Pilot and Moyia is that they are simbiots - neither can live separate from the other.
I don't have the quote, but apparently in filming episode 1, Browder decided to hit Rygel. Now that puppet is expensive, so that freaked everyone out. But by god it made Rygel more alive and real and in the world. Touching these things was important to make them present. It became common practice to hit the puppet.
Lani John Tupu, the actor that plays Crais is also the voice of pilot.
Oh man, you're starting on one of the GREATS right here. This is one of those shows wish I could experience again for the first time. They had some pretty advanced storytelling.
the character development on this show does not disappoint :)
I saw Ben Browder at ComicCon. He said that during the initial filming of Farscape an exec from Channel 9 here in Australia took him aside and said, "Australian's don't like science fiction".
That, of course, was BS. Of course Australian's like science fiction. The annoying thing is that Channel 9 had the rights to transmit Star Trek and they kept putting it on late 'cos it was aired just after their horrendous favourite "The Footy Show" which often went over time.
Incidentally, the host of the Footy Show, Sam Newman, was "accidentally" run over by his ex-wife. Personally, I suspect she was a Star Trek fan
😂
Fun fact! Those bugs are actually natural Australian bugs, they found a nest of them on set and made an episode out of it for foreign audiences; the episode wasn't aired in Australia as everyone would recognise the bugs.
Also, this is a lie, but I know someone just read it and believed it.
Farscape is enough in my head from watching it growing up that I occasionally use their timekeeping terms of arns and microts for my own amusement.
At the very end, John and Arun are on the transparent observation deck at the top/aft of Moya.
It's a great set and chance to showcase the amazing space effects of the series. We'll see more of it later.
As the series progresses, we'll see the full extent of Pilot's area- it's my favorite set.
This was a great episode because they turned the old "The Thing" idea on it's head and found a nonviolent solution to everything.
Rigel steppes up! His regalness was on full display.
Some seeds of bromance between John and D'Argo when they were messing with Rigel.
Neat that Peacekeepers are cold blooded.
I imagine they avoid very hot planets.
Zan is wonderful and complex. A sorta Zen monk with sage advice. Love her.
A Henson Creature shop masterpiece is The Dark Crystal. It is a great movie.
I was happy to meet most of the cast of Farscape at DragonCon in 2002. Virginia Hey was stunning.
28:50
Not to poke holes in the show, I have loved the show since season one was initially airing, and have rewatched it several times, but I never really understood why they didn't just stuff Aeryn into her prowler and let her hang out in the AC for a few hours.
If you're already enjoying this show this much, you are REALLY going to love it as it goes on! This show is totally weird and wonderful. Claudia Black is totally beautiful too!
And Ben Browder is freaking awesome.
Good lord, I hate the Peacock hosed up the episode order.
This was a super interesting episode though. I found it super inventive the idea that the Drak species could nab DNA from other nearby species to create protector drones that wouldn't put the colony members themselves in jeopardy. The element with Aeryn's Sabacean physiology, highlighting the difference between them and humans, was always an interesting wrinkle as well.
Looking forward to continuing this (somewhat disjointed) journey!
I saw somebody else in the comments shouted out the "right" order and it seems to fix itself by episode 7, PK Tech Girl, so... at least it won't last too long. (And as disjointed as it is, as unhelpful this early, the show itself was a bit disjointed until later in season 1, IMO - in that they didn't really introduce the main conflict until later - so... at least it fixes itself relatively soon?)
@@SchulzEricT Funny thing is, the very first episode that ever aired was PK Tech Girl, which they played as a sort of preview before they series officially started.
Man, I remember being immediately invested in this show when that hit...wrapped up in deep intertwined confusion and curiosity.
If they were going to bollocks up the order, they could have at least started with that.
I was introduced to this show during 2020....and I wish I had seen it when it came out...but glad I did see it. Very good. Amazing characters. Fun episodes.
"Maggot poopies." No, MINTY maggot poopies. 😜
✨minty✨
The instant somebody says 'The 'something' isn't our problem.' said thing is about to become the problem, or at least one of them.
Zaan is the ship mom, but she also has the darkest side of any character yet.
I've got the whole series on DVD 😁 I bought it the first moment I saw the series on tv here in little old Denmark 🥰
I had an Australian friend.. told me so so so many creepy steries about wild life in there.. and his main advise "stay away from wild life"
You were talking about how dargo couldn’t fight last episode, actually the actor didn’t move a lot because his prosthetic didn’t move well they didn’t. Really work it out until about the second season
Virginia Hey, who plays Zhaan, is absolutely wonderful in this show. Love her performances. Yes, it's about mid-season one where Farscape finds what works for this show and really dives into it. Love all these characters. The actors in this show are incredibly wonderful with the fans at cons.
That looks like Gigi Edgley hanging off your shoulder. My favorite character.
@@stuartanderws5705 Good eye. This indeed Gigi.
thank you for reawakening my love for this series. I've missed it.
🖤🖤
It makes me so happy to see you reacting to this show. This journey is going to be spetacular. It only gets better, you'll see. =)
I'm so glad your reacting to this! I hope you inspire reactors to do it more. I think i was 19 or so when this came out. Its such a great show. Im generally more of a non alien centric type of scifi person, but this has such a great universe and characters and puppetry, and actors... I still have a crush on Claudia Black, and her character in this is so cool.
If you're looking for a fun game to play while watching Farscape, try to point out all the actors from Mad Max and the Matrix.
Zhaan is played by Virginia Hey. Little fact is that the blue make up nearly killed her by poisoning her!
Buddy Ebsen (jed Clampet, beverly hillbillies) was og cast for the Tin man in the Wizard of Oz, but had the same problem with being alergic to the make up. so they had to recast the Tin Man part.
So unfortunate that she had a bad reaction to the make-up. Zhaan is such a great character, and Virginia did a fantastic job bringing her to life.
She was in the second Mel Gibson Mad Max movie, Road Warrior.
Same thing happened to the dude from Andromeda.

If you like murderous droids you should check out some of these:
HK-47 - Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, and The Old Republic (Computer games, but you can find playthrough on line). Happily cleaning up the galaxy one meatbag at a time. If HK-47 doesn't have you laughing, then we need to see if you are human or not.
0-0-0 and BT-1 - Star Wars comics. Usually hanging around Dr Chelli Lona Aphra (say it with me, "Captian Snuggles"). Dr Aphra stands out to me more than the droids do, due to her orientation.
Maximillian - The Black Hole. Silent but deadly. Well not actually silent, as it does make the occasional non vocal sounds, but the deadly part remains. Plus you also have, V.I.N.CENT (Vital Information Necessary CENTralized), and Old B.O.B, sorry don't know what B.O.B stands for. (Humanity check time with Old B.O.B). Plus there's S.T.A.R. (Special Troops Arms Regiment) the prototype for the security robots.
Hector - Saturn 3. Hector is programmed by "Benson" by "Benson" plugging a device into his own brain that uploads "Benson's" thoughts into Hector. "Benson" (played by Harvey Keitel) had killed the real Benson at the start of the film and then assumed his identity when he dropped Hector off on Saturn 3. This act is what made Hector homicidal, and also attracted to Alex (Farrah Fawcett). Also real brain tissue inside Hector, which is real creepy.
John is one of us, he is a nerd and fanboy, as you will discover along the way
I really do love that you are reacting to one of my favorite shows of all time. Thank you.
