I've seen a couple of episodes of Farscape and I just thought it stupid. I prefer my sci fi to remain within the "drama" sphere. Farscape seemed to me to go for stupid comedy.


You have to really watch a whole series of Farscape to appreciate its brilliance. It hits all the bases. Sure, in some episodes they go for a kind of wacky humour, but that's not always the case. There's moments of poignant emotion, real drama, suspense, horror even. It's a comedy melodrama thriller western set in outer space. They have some exceptionally creative writers, a colourful cast of characters and muppets. What more do you want? :p

Stargate, on the other hand, I have no love for. Zzzzzzz.

Your parents must have dropped you on your head as a baby. :D A show I did enjoy watching sometimes was Sliders. That is a neat one.

I don't know, Vega. People told me the same thing about Dr. Who but I suppose I shouldn't judge a series based only on two episodes. If I find a cheap dvd somewhere, I'll pick it up and give it a try.



Xion. Battlestar. Hell yeah!

Farscape isn't that bad. I've seen it on TV a few times and watched it, but it does seem like the type of show you would have to watch from the beginning to understand and like it a lot.

Guyus Baltar rules . . . I'd probably compare my own character after him.

Nervously paranoid, sleeping with incredibly hot imaginary women, and inadvertantly responsible for the (forthcoming) destruction of the planet .

Omnae, you can get an 8 episode DVD of Farscape from Walmart. 'Twas there when I went Christmas shopping, maybe it'll be there still.
