SO LONG AND SHANKS...

“The Wizard of Oz was a nice homage because not only had we made cracks about it throughout the show, but when I was in high school the last play I ever did was The Wizard of Oz and I was the lion in that,” reflects Shanks. “It was actually quite odd getting in that suit again. As for the Farscape one, they originally had Ben [Browder] playing the Crichton-esque character and we knew we were cutting such a fine line in parody, especially with both Ben and Claudia [Black] being on the show. I asked Claudia, ‘What do you think of this?’ and she was like, ‘It’s okay’. I thought Ben would have the most to say because Farscape is so dear to him and he was, ‘Well, if it is done properly and not offensively, I am not upset about it. The thing that is weird is it shouldn’t be me playing Crichton. This is Vala’s fantasy so it should be you.’ That was my original idea too, so at the last minute we changed things up and it made perfect sense.”
