Walker: Friday night's on Sci-Fi were great. Farscape, then Lexx.

You liked Lexx? I watched the whole first season and half of the second season before I gave up on it. I kept thinking while watching it that it had to get better, but it never did. I always got the impression everyone behind the show was 12 years old. Planet potato?

Woo hoo! Hopefully I can finally get the series for a decent price!

The series was consistently fun and funny. Claudia Black is a total hotty (and a pretty good actress). John Crichton is one of my favorite characters of all time. The last 20 minutes of the finale is one of my favorite snippets of sci-fi ever.

She's MINE!!!

I know I'm late, but I still approve.

:: GASP! ::

Holy. Frelling. Dren.



Farscape. One of the best shows, of any genre, ever shown on television. It has the wit and edginess of a real Aussie production; long story arcs typically unseen on TV, especially sci-fi; and the trademark heart, real emotional punch, of Henson productions. If you haven't given it a chance, you're really missing something amazing, touching and unique. I love every single frame ever shot of that show.



"Do you love Aeryn Sun?"

/yes, yes, I do
//and blu-ray
///and leather peacekeeper outfits

Frell ya!

MmmmBacon: Is it wrong of me that I enjoyed "Andromeda", too?

Man, that series had so much promise. Good writing, good premise, good characters, good role for Kevin Sorbo... and then, nothing. You watch Andromeda if you want to learn the definition of "dropping the ball". By the end I was ready to strangle someone.

mhd:

What I liked a lot was the "Yankee in King Arthur's Court" displacement of John Crichton, the lone human amongst a horde of alien guys. Nobody understands his pop culture references...


One of my favorite bits was where Crichton referred to one character, who was pretty much always the lieutenant of the big baddie of the current season, as "Smithers".

And did anyone mention Pip?

t3knomanser: "Earth Final Conflict", on the other hand, was just as bad as I expected it to be, but was still addictive.

Did you watch the last season? I was actually shocked that they even made a season 5. I thought that the season 4 finale was good and would have served as a good endpoint to the show. I tried watching some episodes, but it was just to different from the rest of the show.

So, what we have learned from this thread is that SUBBY IS AN IDIOT

Accolade: EVERY major character on that show is an asshole.

Not the cool blue tree shaman chick. She was my favorite character, and they had to kill her off.

The navigator wasn't an ass either - but it didn't really have a "character"

MmmmBacon: Is it wrong of me that I enjoyed "Andromeda", too? If I could get that whole series of that in one box, I'd be a very happy geek!

/Firefly, Andromeda, Farscape, Babylon 5.
//Sci-Fi awesomeness!

I'm still waiting for the DVD box set of Space Precinct.

/anyone?

shaddup, subby

... and did anyone mention Joolushka Toonai Fenta Hovalis? No? Anyone?

Fark you Subby, probably another god-damn Stargate: Uhhh, I don't know, how about Bayonne New Jersey? fan.

about Frelling time .

She was great in Road Warrior too.

Fahrbot!

/I loves me some Claudia!!
//Farscape RULES!
///I had a thing for Zhaan but only in the blue make-up.

Architecture Of Aggression: also, list any awesome sci fi shows, new or old.

already watch: lost, bsg, seen caprica, seen Vs and awaiting the new one, firefly, star wars ewoks extreme...

Umm... WUT?

Is that like Ewoks drinking Mountain Dew and snowboarding or something?

Not that I'd ever kick her out of bed, but it really looks like she's not aging that well. According to IMDB she's only 6 years older than me, but looked about 10 yrs or so older than me the last year or so of stargate.

John and Aeryn had some of the best chemistry I've ever seen. They were frelling hot together. I'd gladly make a sandwich with them, or failing that scrape up enough cash to get Rigel to tape them.

I absolutely love space operas. When Talyn and Crais give up their lives to save Moya and the crew and in the end when John finally, finally uses the "wormhole weapon" and everyone's reaction...awesome, awesome television.

/say pretty please
//with a cherry on top
///I really missed Harvey and his Hawaiian shirts

Oh man, I'm so glad to see so many other Farscape fans come out of the woodwork here on Fark.

I absolutely agree with the posters above who said that Farscape is the best scifi tv show ever made.

It does pretty much *everything* right. It's pretty incredible really.

Yeah, I just downloaded the whole thing when I saw the DVDs selling for $120 a season. You price something unfairly, people will just find other ways of getting it.

Liked the show, but it certainly did have it's share of nearly intolerable, eye-roll inducing, filler episodes. But the highs made up for it. Seasons 1 and 3 are my favorite. Actually liked it a good deal more than BSG (only really cared for the first season and mini-series), which I know is heretical in sci-fi circles.

Newbaca: Actually liked it a good deal more than BSG (only really cared for the first season and mini-series), which I know is heretical in sci-fi circles.

You're ok, kid. I'd rather you make realistic claims about it than proclaim it the best show ever.

B5 is my favorite, so what do I know?

Could they pretend the "movie" never happened and get the crew together for a 6- or 8-episode series wrap-up to replace it, while they're still young enough for makeup to fix any aging?

/ Please?
// God the "movie" blew
/// Clearly crammed half a season's worth of material in to a couple hours.

Yum A Claudia Black thread!

MmmmBacon: Is it wrong of me that I enjoyed "Andromeda", too? If I could get that whole series of that in one box, I'd be a very happy geek!

You can. It's called the Slipstream Collection and runs about 170 bucks for 50 discs. It was 99 when it came out, so I got a killer deal on that one.

Once a year I get into a fit and have to watch the series beginning to end. It may have had a few bad episodes (the fairy-tale puzzle game is one I prefer to skip) but usually I watch them anyway because Chrichton's dialogue is at some point going to drop some fantastic one-liners.

/Browder for Captain America!

Same here...I got the slipstream box set for $80 during an amazon sale....fun show.

SupremeLeader: It's not my problem that their business model is outdated.

[!]

True, the current social ecology may prevent some current business models from being viable; on the other hand, the casual contempt of copyright embodied in "Torrents are free, young padawan" seems detrimental to any business model's being able to recoup the resources used to produce creative material. While there are several possible responses by such businesses (and by government), they all seem to reduce net benefit to society overall.

So, yes, your problem is not their business model, but that your current attitudes may leave (ceteris paribus) your society in a better position were you to stop existing than if you continue. Of course, I'll presume that (despite your being on Fark) you have other personal attributes provide benefits to significantly outweigh this.

THANK GOD!! I hated how overpriced and ridiculous they released the box sets. Hoping the new releases will be cheaper and packaged better.

B5 is my favorite, so what do I know?

that it lasted 1 season to long?

I'd love to see Browder as Cap.

Farscape was inventive, imaginative, witty, sexy and fun. It's a winner because it never tried to be High Drama, but still managed to be highly dramatic.

"I'm nobody's puppet!"

Stratohead: that it lasted 1 season to long?

B5? Surely. The fault lies with the network (TNT?), but that doesn't change the finished product. Total shame, but seasons 3-4 are the best sci-fi/fantasy on TV (ever), in my opinion.

Ahem, except for Farscape of course. Heh.

Though, for what it was, B5 was definitely one of the finest examples. Great story, great characters. Loved G'kar and Molari. They were even better than Odo and Quark.

Blu Ray was not mentioned in that article.

About frelling time.

that was "our" Friday night show....(before children...heck, before marriage)....it was just so super geeky, and yet so sexy at the same time.

Kembada: And did anyone mention Pip?

I did mention Pip/Gigi! Not enough pics of her! Hotest on the show, hands down! Glad to see another farker has some taste rather than running directly to Claudia, who - though hot - is still a little overrated.

I liked Farscape
My wife hated it.

I'll be adding it to my sci fi collection.

Philly: Not the cool blue tree shaman chick. She was my favorite character, and they had to kill her off.

Apparently, Virginia Hey developed an allergy to her makeup, so her character had to go. Sad.

Kembada: ... and did anyone mention Joolushka Toonai Fenta Hovalis? No? Anyone?

God, I HATED Jool. Hate, hate haaaaaated. She was so incredibly annoying that I actually cheered when she died.

I desperately wanted a Chiana-Aeryn threesome for the longest time...

Sweet, the prices on the boxed sets were absurd. And a BR set might be worth getting a BR player too. Or just getting a PS3.

I loved Farscape. It always made me laugh and had decent stories. And frankly, I loved Ben Browder in his costume.



So hot.
