[QUOTE="John Quixote, post: 2643171, member: 694"] *Sigh* I'm a total 'Scaper, 'Gater, Trekker, and everything else (well, except Babylon 5... never could sit through an episode of that without falling asleep). And I do have to say, Farscape's far-reaching continuity and intelligent plotting was the very reason I fell in love with the show. Oh, sure, at first it was the original settings, whacky aliens, and all the goofy humor, when I first started trying to watch it on TV some time around late season 2/early season 3... but it didn't really [i]hook[/i] me until I was able to watch it all straight through at one time (first by downloading all the eps off the 'net, and then later buying the DVDs). But I've loved Stargate too, ever since the movie first came out, and do you know why? Not because of anything about the writing or the acting in particular, but because of the nostalgia factor: "Ancient Egyptian aliens? Boy, this reminds me of that old series, Battlestar Galactica!" Yup, the 70s version. And naturally, I love the new BSG, too, since it's about 99% more intelligent than that older, campier series -- I agree with the sentiment that it's the best show on TV right now (though no way it's better than Farscape). As for Farscape's 4th season, I do agree that taken as a whole it wasn't the best, but there are plenty of gems in there... the loony-tunes episode (Revenging Angel), the one where they go into a VR game (John Quixote), and man-oh-man, the arc that spanned those last four episodes (We're So Screwed & Bad Timing) made the whole season worth it. Heh... I'm such a fanboy. I'm probably the only person to ever write a [url=http://terrafirmascapers.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=f7401b84a7c40a1cf77026b52f6e7e11&topic=724.0]crossover fanfiction[/url] that combines Farscape, SG-1, BSG, and Alternity... :heh: How nerdy is [i]that[/i]?
