Farscape (No Spoilers)

For me it was the pop culture comments, the interesting characters, humor and great visuals. Of course there are some hit or miss episodes what show didn't have those except DS9. I think there were more hit than miss episodes.

Yes, John was a geek and used his pop culture knowledge every chance he got!

There are some eps that I left out that are pretty entertaining by themselves but I wanted to provide a "fast forward." Keep in mind that many of the eps contain plots and events that don't really work until you see them referenced much later on. Even as late as Season 4.

Eheheh... Karen Shaw

There is a reason for that; you haven't watched enough.

I am aware of that. I guess I just didn't make my sarcasm clear enough.

At the end of the second season did they mess up the DVDs? The second to last disk had characters on it that didn't reappear or were introduced till the last disk. It seems that the first of the three parter and the episode before that were reversed.

Well, thisis one of the most pessimist views of life I've seen. There are no good guys, everyone is selfish or just plain evil. It also got really Surreal in the third season which I'm still watching.

I see it as more "realistic" than most sci-fi shows. Don't get me wrong, I love the standard "Everything goes bad and then *bam* Deus Ex Machina everything's fine" sci-fi show - I'm looking at you ST:Voyager - as much as the next guy, but Farscape is probably my favorite right next to Stargate: SG-1.

Not so much Dark as highly predictible. Ship meets new people, they someone are going to screw over the crew. And the crew never learns.

Those shows are more episodic and are easy to watch then the B5's, Stargates, and Farscapes that need to be watched in order without missing an episode.

Murphy's Law is the only law in Farscape.
