      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.

    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.

    • @MandoWookie
      @MandoWookie Месяц назад +3

      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.

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.

    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. 😉

    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.

    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

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 😊

Unfortunately, I have not been able to watch succeeding seasons because I had to travel and stay in Indonesia for a few years and it never got shown there until many years later. By that time, I had moved on from my love for Farscape but I am still in love with Chiana who you will meet in later episodes. I also am so sure you will love the opening theme music because it was like no other during that time.

Too many risks taken, too much originality with no guarantee of an easy payoff.

    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.
