There are three Farscape episodes that I actively dislike. “That Old Black Magic” is in third place of my least liked episodes. The problem is Maldis. The actor Chris Haywood is clearly skilled in his craft, but what a silly cardboard character. <silly Maldis clip> It’s a typical Star TrekRead More →
The first quality episode of Farscape is “PK Tech Girl.” It brings us deeper into the uncharted territories and introduces us to a new character and a new species. Most importantly, we get the first hints of the grand story arc. The opening of the episode is a testamentRead More →
The firth and sixth episodes of Season 1 are, to be perfectly honest, not very good and do not give us much new information or depth of our characters or further the grand story arc. So I will treat them together in this Deep Dive. “Back and Back and BackRead More →
With “Throne for a Loss” one could be forgiven for believing that Farscape the original series centers on Rygel. Similar to the previous two episodes, Rygel’s ability or inability to act takes center stage. <they should look up to me clip> This time, though, he gets taken down a peg.Read More →
Today, we take a close look at “Exodus from Genesis.” In the third episode of Farscape the original series, we are still in character development. <kinda minty clip> Much needed for a new series, but like in “I, E.T.” “Exodus from Genesis” gives us a Star Trek episode, thisRead More →
Welcome to the second Farscape Deep Dive. And we turn to the second episode of the original series which is “I, ET.” Yes, I, ET is the second episode no matter what any other source says. Several if not all of the media channels currently showing Farscape episodes are showingRead More →
And so begins the greatest science fiction series in history. It’s about this guy, Commander John Crichton, who is about to take off in this thing. And he knows something’s up. <feeling clip> What happens to him is he gets shot through a wormhole. Only 5 minutes and 17Read More →
Embedded Video, text transcript underneath. Farscape Continues has a troll, which is kind of a flattery for a channel and Web site. The troll pops up when I mention that it would be krell to have a return of Farscape. His repeated complaint, and I assume for obvious reasons thatRead More →
I’ve completed videos about all of Farscape’s major characters and the major species that appear in the original series. Yet, there’s another significant presence in the show that I haven’t touched on. That is the ship that appears prominently in the show: the mysterious ship that D’Argo calls “Lo’la.” ItRead More →
Conflict. People who teach creative writing say you can’t have a story without conflict. Some people do prefer conflict, like the functionary running the Farscape channel wanting to stir up a fan conflict <that’s frelled clip> I refuse to play that game. But since art imitates life, it has inspiredRead More →
