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.

[@KBTibbs]

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]

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.

[@Calanhart]

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. 😉

[@VegetaLF7]

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.

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.

[@MandoWookie]

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?'

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 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.

[@noelward1367]

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.

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.

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!

[@SkippD]

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.

[@disorientedbear]

Farscape was one of my favorite shows, still is in fact. Thank you for letting us watch this again, for the first time, through your eyes. Enjoy the ride!

[@Terralventhe]

Farscape is a legendary show. It only ran four seasons but it is a phenomenal and beautiful story. It's also one of the tightest and most comprehensive storytelling I've seen in a TV show. Even to this day I will always recommend it to people and I still watch it with newcomers that I can introduce it to.

[@chrisfraser5088]

Angela!!! You’re doing Farscape!?!? 😃😃😃 I really hope you love it. I’m fairly certain you will 😏 It’s true, it’s a little up and down near the beginning. But it’s never bad. It’s such a fun show! The characters are incredible! Even Moya…you’ll come to love her 😊

[@Dmitriy.0]

Oh frell. Let's goooo!

[@antipodean1233]

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

[@sadfaery]

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.

[@eatthisvr6]

Damn this is a blast from the past. If you're doing this then you'd LOVE babylon 5

[@meadmaker4525]

OMG!!! Farscape?! YES!!!! You're going to LOVE this series!!

[@abnurtharn2927]

Fun fact. Lani Tupu who plays Captain Crais, is also the voice of Pilot, and Ben Browder is also the only non Australian actor on the show.

[@rmartinson19]

I remember watching this series as it aired growing up. It's been so long that I'd forgotten just how imaginative it all was. They weren't afraid to experiment with new ideas and new alien concepts, and I can't help but think nothing like this would ever get the green light today. Too many risks taken, too much originality with no guarantee of an easy payoff. It wasn't based on anything that existed prior to the show, it was just the sci-fi channel taking a risk on a totally new IP. Great stuff, and I'm looking forward to re-watching this now!

[@surpelle]

Oh, didn't now this was coming. Very nice.

[@Snapper314]

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!

[@maurer3d]

33:13 Interstellar is travel between stars, Intergalactic is travel between galaxies. This show takes place entirely in our galaxy, just at a far end.

[@smudgetheignored]

Farscape is the "space shit" you've been looking for and the "space shit" we all deserve. Have fun.

[@sergioaccioly5219]

The Crichton actor is Ben Browder. I wouldn't look too deeply on his resume, as it might contain a surprise or two down a very. long. road. Also worth mentioning that Lanai Tupu plays both Crays and voices Pilot. The guy is talented.

[@dupersuper1938]

Doctor Who, Babylon 5 AND Farscape?? Our cups runneth over!

[@Dark_eVader]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that you were reacting to Farscape. I turned 40 when Farscape came out and I was totally blown away by the show. 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.

[@KthulhuXxx]

Oh, you should absolutely watch the rest at some point. It only gets better.

[@alphanerd7221]

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.

[@Metaljacket420]

This holds a place in a childhood SCI-FI corner of my heart, right next to Star Trek voyager, but distinctly behind Stargate SG-1.

[@roystoyscomics1361]

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. 😮

[@95DarkFire]

The first minutes of Farscape are like an acid trip. I love it.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

"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.

[@Pandaemoni]

I am SOOOOO excited for this! No one does Farscape and I think you will love it! Thank you for keeping me entertained. Edit: And now having watched your reaction, I am getting that feeling like I have just run into a bunch of old friends.

[@manjisaipoe517]

Both Ben and Claudia were central figures on Stargate, when Richard Dean Anderson retired. That wss true fun as Farscape had just ended, and you will see why it was almost a necessity, peace!❤

[@greencello599]

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.

[@Technobuilder]

Oh here we go! --- "Look upward, and share... the wonders I've seen."

[@donrichards271]

My gosh, you do keep on picking the best shows. I am dead certain you will love this ride and I'm gonna enjoy watching you take it.

[@Fawkes42]

This show is so underrated!

[@StaceyGreenstein]

"This is not Kansas anymore." She said the thing!!!
