What inspires fans' extreme commitment to "Farscape"? After all, even some sci-fi aficionados don't get it.
"Ben Browder and [female lead] Claudia Black are terrific," "Stargate SG-1" executive producer Brad Wright said in an e-mail. "The show itself was always a mystery to me. I didn't get it. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance because I couldn't get past the muppet."
Actually, there are two puppets on the show -- Rygel, a small, voracious alien who is the deposed "dominar" of an outer-space empire, and Pilot, a multiarmed creature who is biologically connected to Moya.
Who's Moya, you ask? She's the living space ship on which American astronaut John Crichton (Browder) lives -- with a few escaped prisoners he ran into when his ship accidentally got sucked into a wormhole that deposited him in a strange and dicey part of outer space.........
