What's Farscape?

[Asgard Buddy]

I've seen a lot of commercials for it on the SciFi channel and I'm just wondering if someone can give me a slight description.

Is it a TV series? Although I've seen commercials for the mini-series.

[Ugly Pig]

It was a TV series. SciFi cancelled it two years ago. Now it is being followed up on with the miniseries you've been seeing commercials for.

[JediTrilobite]

It was a fairly interesting show that aired on Sci-Fi for about 4 seasons. Very weird sci-fi, but interesting. It was cancelled a while ago, but has been brought back as a miniseries. I think that if it does well, they'll bring back the entire series.

[Asgard Buddy]

Ah now it makes sense. Thank you.

What they need to do is cancel Andromeda and reair Farscape, with a new season, after Peacekeeper Wars.

Ditto! Farscape is great! You should check it out!

*gasp*

You don't know what Farscape was? Even I know!

I used to watch it. But after we stopped getting the Scifi channel and Showtime and all that, I haven't watched it. Well, when Scifi channel was clear one time they had this four parter... I forget what it was about lol.

I love watching Farscape vids even though half the time I don't know what's going on.

It's the second best piece of sci-fi to ever hit the airwaves....behind only B5....sorry all....i love SGx but....those two take the cake....

go out...buy the toys, the vhs, the dvd....support the franchise, sign the petitions.....help make SciFi bring it back!!!

and now i'll try and shake the foam from my mouth and get that maniacal look from my eye......

[Asgard Buddy]

To be honest I'm afraid to start watching it, I can only handle one SciFi obession at a time, and right now Stargate is it

Just don't try to watch it right in the middle of the series! You'll never follow it lol.

Yes, Farscape is particularily interesting because of the massive fan war it generated when it was UNJUSTLY cancelled by SCIFI MORONS. Other than that, it was basically the story of an earth Astronaut who, when flying a funkadelic little space module was shot through a wormhole and ended up on a living ship crewed by escaped convicts.

And as I said in the other Farscape thread just now, for those that want some brief information on what Farscape is about -- not so much a plot summary or anything, just a really good explanation and introduction of the main focuses and its emotional drive (shippers beware, this has love written all over the galaxy) check out FarWhat.com for some stellar details!

Oooo that does sound interesting... and a tiny bit like Futurama

Jeff O'Connor, thanks for the link, I'll have to check it out when I have some more time.

True but the 'ships was written so much better than any other sci-fi.

Also, the cast just have fabulous chemistry together. Ben Browder and Claudia Black are a wonderful match onscreen as John and Aeryn.

As for Futurama...am I the only one who sees Fry and Leela as demented versions of John and Aeryn? Maybe its the army boots and pony tail...
