Wayne Pygram did a wonderful job with Scorpius
They really should have let him play Tarkin in Rogue One.
I’d pay to hear his voice in the Tarkin novel
I wish this show got the love and exposure it deserves. It should be talked about among the best sci-fi shows ever.
one of the favorite scenes, scorpious, given a weapon from john. Tries to fire it at the enemy, weapon fails, resigned Scorpious, "Thank you John."
I think scorpius is the best Sci Fi villain the episode "Incubator" really changed everything he goes from being an unsympathetic character to a man who's ambition and drive to reach his goal is infectious and I felt the whole shows tone changed with it his motivations made total sense.
I remember watching the Peacekeeper wars and I kept thinking please one more badass moment from Scorpius then we got the Sikosu scene and the final stand at the end.
And as for The Harvey idea it was nothing short of pure genius and really kicked some extra life into the show because Crichton was really going through a lot now he had to add visions of his nemesis acting like a fool to the list.
In the Peacekeeper Wars, Scorpius gets what he wanted, but for some reason it doesn’t bring him happiness. A great ending to this character's arc.
@@vit_player2420 He spends the entire series trying to get the thing he's looking at, and... He. Says. No. He calls it insanity. He rejects it outright. He spent so much time and effort to achieve what he's looking at it, and asks John to shut it down.
One of the most epic endings to any sci-fi series ever.
Just binge watched all farscape again, master piece and what a beautiful character scorpie is!
One of the all time greatest!🙂
I had a number of nice encounters with Wayne Pygram when I worked at Amoeba records in Hollywood in the early 2000s. And they all came about because I had been watching a bonus feature DVD interview with him where he wasn’t wearing the makeup. The very next day I came across him in the store. Me-“Are you Wayne Pygram ? What are you doing on this side of the world”. He said “the same as everybody else. Just looking for work”. It was then that I noticed his shopping basket was filled with what we call ‘Stoner Rock’. Bands like Kyuss and Monster Magnet. I thought that was awesome. Scorpius was into loud heavy rock bands. Later he told me he was going to Oahu to film a small part. Months later I saw him on LOST. So that was the part he was talking about. When he got back he was telling me that Oahu was so beautiful that he was thinking of moving there. Scorpius is one of my favorite characters ever, so to have actually gotten to make small talk with him on numerous occasions still blows my mind.
I think you are right about Scorpius starting to enjoy Earth music, particularly after we see Harvey fall in love with "home on the range" in Different Destinations.
Intelligent, charisma , back story , character development. #1 for me
I have a list of TV shows and Movies I watch every year. Farscape is on that list. I have watched the full series including the movies at least 7 times. It is one of the most underrated TV shows, for the most part because of the "puppets" on the show, which if people would take the time to watch, you will see this creations of Jim Henson slowly turn into real characters you will care about, you will feel for them as well as laugh. This TV show is worth the watch, if you're a Sci-Fi fan its a MUST WATCH.
Agreed. Farscape is one of my nearest and dearest.🙂🐵
The puppets are the best part. At least one of them. There are so many gems in farscape.
That was one of the great things about Farscape is ALL main the character had story arcs, even the bad guys. I reminds me of B5, that was one of that show's strong points.
Farscape and B5 - 2 greatest live-action in sci-fi
Always will remember that scene at the end of the peacekeeper wars when he witnessed the true magnitude of wormhole weapons and realized its level of destruction. He did get what he wanted so there’s that.
This character is very great. The only other character that I think comes close to being similar to him in some ways would have to be Garak from Deep Space Nine though his occupation in the story is different from Scorpius.
Good comparison, would be interesting to see them in a face off.
"Turns out Scorpius didn't just want to destroy the Scarrans, he wanted to destroy the Scarrans thus saving the Galaxy."
No man, he wanted to destroy the Scarrans for his own revenge. He didn't want the Scarrans to rule the Universe because he hated them, not because he cared about saving people.
And he wasn't really their ally in Season 4. He wanted to be their ally but they kept him locked up most of the time and John certainly didn't want him there or trust him. Well, he started to have some level of trust but only a bit with certain things.
he wanted ballance and peace. the coolest thing is we only see it in the last minutes of the movie, after the series:)
I just started re-watching this series last week.
I notice at the beginning, the show hasn't quite found its footing, it knows it has potential, but it is just lacking that unquantifiable something.
It's when Scorpius shows up that suddenly all the pieces fall into place, and suddenly a fun odyssey turns into a desperate and dangerous game of high stakes jeopardy.
God damn, he was in revenge of the sith? Why did they not cast him as an imperial officer or remnant in any disney flick? Shit he would have made the movie.
I completely agree, by far my favorite villain. I was genuine concerned they were going to kill him a couple times.
Yes, yes he is the absolute best! even after 4 seasons and 1 film, lots of audience only glimpses, it was only in the last few minutes we saw his True goal.
Whatnit was, or if hemsucceeded? Go watch! its an awesome series
Yes, one of the best Villains ever.......a Villain you want to like, which is saying something. Very few actors can do that to a character.
If there is any justice in this universe at all, there will be more farscape. Don't know how, don't care how, just...get... it... done. Watching farscape and Stargate were some of the most enjoyable viewing experiences of my life.
I would say please no more Farscape - you know whoever does it will ruin it - on purpose - with "The Message."
Stargate was dren.
@@ericscottstevens lol
As much as I would love to see more Farscape, I think we have to acknowledge, that good things come to an end - and after all this time, I don't think there's much hope that any revival would even be able to recapture that magic, times change - and so do audiences, and that's okay. Far better that we get a new show with a similar great vision and cast, than attempt to resurrect a past that is already gone. One of the most recurring issues in the entertainment industry at large seems to be the compulsive need to rely on existing franchises and remakes, rather than have any original ideas of their own. Farscape was an original idea back in it's day, and that made it great - we should make room for new original ideas to take it's place.
@@LadyDoomsinger AmazonPrime showing the episodes is good news, they are testing to see what the public interest is. The setting for the saga is very unique and able to be expanded upon. As for the former series errors in judgement were made along the way thematically. Yet the biggest gaffe was disposing of all the original film footage so blu-ray or ultra4K renditions are never going to happen .
10,000 Baniks, Anyone? Not villainous, my left mivonk!

How do you not have more subs these are great videos
Thank you. I'm glad you like them.🙂🙂
@@TheChosenChimp It's better than anything I've ever made. They sound on par with Filmento
@@TheScarletSlayer That means a lot. Thanks again.:)
As if there was ever any doubt.
American bias was going against the show if I'm being honest. If they hadn't cast an American speaking with an American accent as the lead protagonist, it would've had an even more limited audience in the US than it did. It's the same reason, I, as an American, after an earnest attempt never really got into Doctor Who or Harry Potter; those characters are just not relatable to me. Yet somehow the blend of American and Ozzy actors on this show worked, at least for me it did. Also, Jim Henson Company did a masterful job with the animatronics. So many levels above Chuck E. Cheese puppets. It just occurred to me that this show reminds me of the American 90s animatronic sitcom Dinosaurs.
Scorpius is what Dave Filoni's Thrawn wishes he could be.
Best Sci-fi Villain, Best Female Character (Aeryn) in Sci-Fi. What an incredible series this is. Best in Sci-fi
Aeryn was great - but my favorite will always be Chiana, in my mind there's a hard line between the pre-Chiana episodes of season 1 and post-Chiana episodes. The pre-Chiana episodes always just feels a little... stale by comparison.
Ripley and Leah are better.
Your cat was crying at the end
Best SF villain!
Rare as he is (I will not say was) of the first anti heroes portrayed with a handicap.
Scorpy represented the disabled community with dignity and was able to overcome his predicament.
Give Wayne credit, those little affable or witty quotes were epic, especially about pizza and margarita shooters.
"....thanks John!" was the ultimate
For Me the best and Most iconic Sci Fi Villain is Darth Vader. But I feel your Argument
3:37
Not Wayne 😲
Yes he is!
Like all characters, Scorpius had his character arc, though in his case it was more of a reveal of his motivations than change. So many moments in the later seasons I found myself thinking, "You know...bad guy has a great point..." LOL. Hey, he was a good boss if you were not a dick, lol.
I always loved that scene when Grayza made a leashed Scorpy lick her boot, offered him to John, who smirked and told her he didn't think he could top that, HA HA!
It's a shame we didn't get more seasons/movies after the Peacekeeper's war. The comics were incredible and the Kkore were formidable.
03:31... I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at this one… It's not 'Dick-to-me' is -Die-Cot-O-Me' as in two things that are very different XD
I consider him the best, yes. I think he might be more recognizable these days simply because of streaming services. I remember back when I was in highschool no one had even heard of Farscape.
Yes
They problem is....Scorpius isn't/wasn't a villain. He was just a man (hybrid man) on a mission.
Probably so. Either scorpius or gul dukat.
I thought Anubis from Stargate SG-1 was pretty badass because you simply could not destroy him.
Anubis ruled, my favorite SG1 villain and arc.
Scorpius is a straight up villain that turned anti-hero. He lied and was going to kill Chrichton in the season 2 finale when he didn't have to. He makes deals with other people and instead of upholding his end of the bargain, he has them killed.
He and Vader are my top 2
The title is wrong. There should be no question mark at the end.
I don't know if he's the best overall, but he is the best Sci-Fi TV villain
Between all the sci-fi weapons powerfull and all anywhere, Crichtons wormhole weapon is truly the biggest. 😐.
We do all know that by season 4, Scorpius... Well, isn't actually Scorpius any more... Right?
Uh, just so you know, the season 2 closing episode title is pronounced "Die Me Die-cot-toe-me," not "Die Me Dick-to-me."
I've been waiting nearly a year for someone to call me out on that.🤣
Get show
Did you also like Lexx?
Ha lexx was a terrible German soft core porno. It was awful.
Crais was a FAR BETTER villain. Scorpy was honestly boring and predictable.
Scorpius would be good for a couple of episodes, it became just obnoxious. I don't need fiction to give me obnoxious, I can get it for free.
He was definitely one of the best villains ever - the reason for that is because he does absolutely horrible evil shit, snd his goal is literally genocide. . . using weapons of mass destruction. And he has the ability to enlist others to his cause and get them to do horrible evil shit too.
He is basically what Hitler was.
No. He has no designs on genocide. Hitler wasn't a scientist. He was a politician.
This is one of the very best villains.
