Show Summary

  • Ended
Five years ago, astronaut John Crichton attempted to use the Earth's atmosphere to propel his ship, Farscape 1, at great speeds across the solar system. He went much further though and was sucked down a wormhole to a distant part of the galaxy and into the middle of a battle. He was rescued by a group of escaping prisoners and taken aboard their ship, a living ship. As the years went by, Crichton has made enemies, powerful and dangerous enemies. On his journey to find a way back home, he freed other captives who became part of the crew on Moya.moreless

    How, How can a show like this be canceled and a show like Enterprise stay on the air?

    Farscape: funny, sexy, smart, exciting, dramatic, silly, groundbreaking. Hands down, one season of Farscape runs circles around Fringe, Enterprise,Andromeda,The River, and it was canceled. Why? Because The Sci Fi channel wanted to drop millions a year in bad television instead of good televison programming
  • Can someone really say this series was BAD?

    The only reason this show was cancelled was they were dropping a Million an episode and they couldn't handle it (not sure if it was the network or the producers).

    They utilized the cast to the fullest.

    If you check the cast, many of them played multiple characters.

    Administer Agnot (maybe right spelling) was also another character in a different season.

    And yes the cliffhanger at the end pisses everyone off, but that is what the mini-series was for.

    I believe the comic starts off just after the mini-series.moreless
  • An epic ride that was short lived. Killed by penury and short sightedness, revival is futile. October eighteenth two thousand and four will live in infamy.

    This is si fi adventure in it's purest. In this vehicle I don't equivocate between fiction and science fiction this is the singularly the best show ever produced for television.

    The serial format is seamless the genesis of plots and characters evolution is genius. Animatron, animation, computer graphics, set designs made it like a beautiful children book brought to life with all of the extravagance of Broadway and splendor of Hollywood.

    Moya glided through an improbable galaxy not unlike our own and millions of others in the universe with her pilot and her crew and put a stamp on imagination unimaginable.moreless
  • A fresh, new show for its time, and still today. It still lives, but I only wish it could have made it a bit farther. I love it.

    The cast is amazing, on of the best out of all the tv shows I've ever seen. There is a natural chemistry it seems which helps to define the show. The right mix of action and adventure, with the perfect amount of romance and humor, which makes this show great still in my book. If only it hadn't ended.Ben Browder and Claudia Black make the best tv show couple I've seen in a long time, and they have you on the edge of your seat all the time, you know there is something between them, they know it, but it comes just slow enough that you'll be hooked. Not to mention all the obstacles they face. My favorite two actors of any tv show. The rest of the crew is awesome too.moreless

    To be honest, in Australia this show was usually on at like midnight. I'm only 16, so it was on when i was younger. If i was even up at that time, understanding that show would be like a drunk dude doing triginometry.
    All i really remember from this show was that little creature on the ship, you know the one, he was WEIRD and he gave me nightmares. he had a creepy voice.
    Very odd show...
    I would probobly watch it again just for the hell of it, but it would cost someone $100.
    If anyone can tell me what it was all about it would be muhc obligedmoreless
