    This show blew me away. If you are reading this and have *not* watched Farscape- just do it! It takes a few episodes but some of the best TV I've ever watched is seasons 3-4 of Farscape.

    One of the most underrated science-fiction programs of all time. And quite arguably one of the best productions to come out of Australia ever. Literally Australia’s answer to Doctor Who in my opinion. And last but not least one of the greatest projects undertaken by the Jim Henson creature shop.

    Some really great sci-fi came in the 90s. It was before full fledged CGI, so many shows still used practical effects. Space: Above and Beyond, Lexx, Farscape, Star Trek DS9, and Babylon 5 were all great in their own ways. Of them all, I though Farscape was the most original and unpredictable show out there. The enemies become frenemies become friends who would do anything for each other out of trust and commitment is outstanding. It was sad to see it end, but seeing Ben and Claudia together on Stargate SG1 was freaking awesome!

    A classic sci fi show. Often overlooked and disregarded bevause if the puppets and weird alien vibe. But, Farscape had some of the best portrayals of crew comradeship, dipictions of PTSD and fleshed out character arcs I'd watched whilst growing up.

    Best sci fi show ever. For those who can't get into this show but are willing to watch (I see you reading these comments), you need to understand that this show's story arc doesn't develop until the end of the first season. The characters by then are well developed and by season 2 and 3, you will be engrossed in some of the purest form of sci fi storytelling there is. There is a story to tell here and it's a good one. You can relate to. People that stick with this show are fans for life. This show is a classic for a reason.

      Ah, well, ackshually ... there were a lot of big names in the show! New ones would pop up each episode on each new planet. But they were only big names in Australia, and unknown overseas.
      Each new episode would cast some famous Aussie actor as Random Alien Guy/Girl In Heavy Makeup--and they were eager to do it, because they were used to doing mundane Australian cop shows and hospital dramas, without ever getting the chance to go wild in an American-style sci-fi show.

    Fantastic show, I loved every minute of it and still occasionally binge watch the series. Yes, filmed in Australia and a damn good effort it was by everyone involved. I'm an Aussie and I'm proud of the achievement. But I have to admit, it's kind of weird to hear all the Aussie accents (and some Brits). Pilot was my favorite character and there are a few episodes where his character is given
    the chance to shine. This show and Firefly, both cancelled too soon were true works of sci-fi art.

    My friend and I first discovered _Farscape_ toward the end of Season 1 and beginning of Season 2, because we had been spending Friday nights hanging out together to watch _The Invisible Man,_ and _Farscape_ came on after _I-Man._ By the beginning of Season 3 (the _Season of Death)_ after _I-Man_ had sadly been cancelled, we had managed to spread the word about how fantastic the show was to the rest of our friend group. Our little gathering expanded into our full group of 6-7 who would come together at my house on Friday evenings for the start of our weekly D&D gaming sessions, which would continue throughout the weekend after pausing to watch _Farscape._

    I recall seeing an interview with Ben Browder in which he stated (I paraphrase) "Farscape didn't borrow ideas from other sci-fi shows, it plundered them!" Well, the result was probably one of the weirdest, most imaginative, thought provoking and well written series that I have ever had the pleasure to watch. My only regret was that the writers never got the chance to finish the tale in the way they wanted to, hence the Nebari arc was never completed, although the Peacekeeper Wars mini series was, at least, a love letter to the many, many fans who took Farscape into their hearts.
    For an excellent breakdown of Farscape I recommend Rowan J Coleman's video 'Why FARSCAPE is AWESOME' ua-cam.com/video/0S4dbCDHvZQ/v-deo.html

      @@CricketsBay There was an episode in season 2 I think, the one where they find the Zelbinion. The peacekeeper girl needed someone to help her fix the command carrier’s shields, since she didn’t have the scientific background to do it by herself. Nobody on Moya could make heads or tails of what she was saying, nobody but Crichton. He was actually speaking her “language”.
      And if I remember correctly, there were several instances in the show where they asked for his expertise to repair Moya’s systems.
      And there’s also the wormhole thing. He was on the right track even before those aliens put the info in his head.
