stephenlirwin asked: Okay. So I started watching Farscape on Netflix and I couldn't get past the first fifteen minutes of the pilot. Which is strange, considering the similarities between my TV likes/dislikes and yours. It seemed to me like they tried to cram too much in the first ep. You're the 'awesome sci-fi' chick that I follow, and your breakdown of the show a while back was the reason I started watching in the first place, so I'll defer to you. Should I give the pilot another shot? Does it get better soon?

Yay I’m the awesome sci-fi chick! I like that I’m that.

And oh my goddddddddd yes please. Do stick with the show! I know it seems like a lot to wait for as the first half of the first season seems to be something lots of people have had some restraint with because it’s not really at the a point in the show where the mythos is growing; there’s a lot of standalone episodes but in the very least those can be appreciated for the world building and character building. Which is quite an important thing for a show to do, I think. Most shows are always something that you need to take more patience with in a first season. This is the beginning, things are being fleshed out, the stories are getting their foundation and the characters need to be those you care about first and when that happens, you are more invested in the story to come.
I think once you get around to The Flax and especially A Human Reaction (one of the best episodes of the series!), you’d be more sure of sticking with it, more invested and dare I say obsessed.
Then the last few episodes of season one bring in the beginnings of the always wonderful 2 and 3 parters Farscape does so masterfully, plus the cliffhanger season-enders they always do. Nerve and The Hidden Memory is the first two-parter and it’s a very good example of just how well Farscape does with these episodes that run straight on with the story. As for the season one finale, Family Ties, it pretty much blows the mythos into full force by introducing the arch-nemesis for John with Scorpius. Then from season 2 onwards, it’s pretty much full-on mythos. But by then the standalones they do have are usually so well done and you care so much about the characters you don’t mind.
Farscape is the one show out there that I think pushed the boundaries on story-telling and didn’t draw from a lot of tropes that many shows can have. John and Aeryn, there’s never a frustrating will they/won’t they strung out ploy. They will. It’s set from their first meeting. As for the others, the individual characters are all at the beginning selfish for their own needs but come to be a crew, and a family over time. It’s seriously my favorite show ever, I know I flip back and forth but in the end it really is #1 in my heart. And I just wish more people out there could see it and love it the way I do. It’s definitely a show that rewards you if you stick with it!

9 reasons why you should watch Farscape

John, Aeryn, and the planets between them 

You once said it was as if the fates meant for us to be together. Well, then, if it’s true, we will be together. 

Insurmountable, impossible, and beyond hope. There are few shows that actually take the time to build relationships between their leads, let them make mistakes, hurt each other and love each other. Farscape takes John Crichton and Aeryn Sun and, from the first episode to the last moments of The Peacekeeper Wars, leaves them in perpetual motion, hurtling through space like remnants of a supernova. Obstacle after obstacle falls between them, borne from inside their own insecurities and fears and from the Universe and it’s most terrible creations. We are left to watch them struggle and fight for themselves and each other, proving the fates one way or another in one of the most epic and complete relationships to ever exist.

Sexy times 

Resist the mist. 

Most ‘shippers are left wanting; for a gaze, a touch, a smile. Farscape, on the other hand, wastes no time in establishing the most intimate of moments early on in the series, slowing plodding along afterwards with consistent and believable interactions between John and Aeryn. It doesn’t spend innumerable seasons hinting or teasing, but it instead opts to approach them with respect and allows their relationship to grow and change organically. It never feels forced or is used as a throw-away plot point to move the story forward, but instead becomes the story. And it never shies away from showing two people in love, either. Their kisses are legendary (mostly because TONGUE) and the chemistry between Ben Browder and Claudia Black will most likely result in spontaneous pregnancy. They’re hot. Goddamn hot. Unf.

The angst 

Don’t worry about me. I’ve never felt better. 

Farscape kills. It kills with feelings. It gives you cake in the form of sexykissinglet’sjustbeallovereachother and then rewards the rainbow unicorns and Kermit flailing with stone cold angst. Death, mistrust, fear, and even old emotional baggage plays its part in creating the vortex of pain that is Farscape, extending to every character in the show, even it’s villains. Unless you’ve sat and watched, it’s impossible to describe. It exists and it hurts so good.

The villains 

I condemn you, John Crichton, to live so that your thirst for unfulfilled revenge will consume you. 

Half-Sebacean half-Scarran Peacekeeper Commander Scorpius and his neural clone Harvey (who resides in John’s brain). Scarran Emperor Staleek. Commandant Grayza. War Minister Akhna. Farscape is replete with complex villains. Nothing is in black and white and nothing makes sense. They are all pieces to a galaxy-wide chess game and the goal is power and control over the ultimate weapon: wormholes. They each possess a unique foothold in John’s future and are not above treason and backstabbing in order to accomplish and fulfill their personal battles. Scorpius/Harvey in particular is standout, as his relationship with John is terrifyingly intimate and absurdly complex. How many stories take their main villain and place him, not only inside his head, but also on the same ship and force upon them similar goals?

Space 

TV hasn’t seen space or a space ship in quite some time. As of posting this, there is not a single new television show currently airing that takes place in space and that is just sad. Space is awesome. A living ship that thinks and feels, giant command carriers, stars that eat leviathans, planets filled with all sorts of varied denizens seeking all kinds of things from our heroes, and dozens of alien races with some of the most intricate and amazing makeup and costume designs. Space is awesome and the Farscape Universe is particularly stunning. Space operas are a reason for living.

The crack 

Can I help you find a place to theathe that thword? 

Sometimes, Farscape is on crack. Serious crack. It is one of the most humorous sci-fi shows ever to grace our TV screens. Diven insane by a blind alien trying to soak up some sun, trading minds several times over, Don Quixote-esque adventure with an ogre and a princess and…I could go on, but these moments are really something to be experienced. Absurdity at it’s absolute best. 

Continuity 

That’s it, open your eyes. You see all these stars? They’re yours. 

Except that one. That one’s yours. 

Continuity may seem like an odd reason to recommend a show, but Farscape wrote the book on it. It’s amazing at creating threads that run throughout entire SEASONS. Character histories, mentions, camera shots, words shared in intimate moments, everything is used as a reference later on. It helps to create a genuine story and makes the characters feel real. Nothing is forgotten and everything is important. Some of them will bestill a beating heart, others will break it. 

The crew 

The crew on Moya is family. They don’t start out that way, but that’s where they wind up. In the beginning they are selfish, arrogant, and spiteful prisoners, stuck together on a living ship without course or concern. For most of the show in the early seasons, they put their own needs before the others. Their singular goal is to escape, to make it back home and they will do whatever is necessary to get there. A warrior, a priest, a thief, a pilot, a throne-less king, a scientist and a shaman. They are the family that John finds, bonded by obstacle and circumstance, held together by love and respect. They have seen each other at their worst and stood with them at their best. 

The journey 

Look up, and share…the wonders I have seen. 

 To quote youpicktheplanet:

This is a journey filled with friendship, love, need, intensity, passion, loyalty, devotion, trust, and finding happiness within yourself and within another person. This is a journey filled with soul-crushing angst, sorrow, tears, frustration, doubt, and fear. This is a story about reaching your greatest potential not because you were forced to change into someone you weren’t but because you wanted to become and better person and all you needed was the fates to place someone by your side. This is a story about discovering what it means to truly love another person. This is a saga about love and loss and learning to love all over again, in new ways, in ways you never could have imagined.

Watch this show for that. For John and Aeryn and the planets between them. For John and Aeryn when nothing in the Universe can tear them apart.

[top 5 caps] Farscape 2x09 Out of their Minds asked by fidesangelus

[top 5 caps ] Farscape 3x01 Season of Death asked by magicmachine

“Ah, but you see. You don’t just protect me, we protect each other.”

I really need to rewatch Farscape again. The first time I ever watched was a couple years ago, when I marathoned the whole thing in 2 1/2 weeks. Once I got past the slower eps in the first season I was completely hooked. Crichton started wearing the leather pants in season 2 and the storyline improved along with the wardrobe. :D For anyone that loves an epic OTP, look no further than these two right here. John/Aeryn are absolutely fantastic. Happy endings FTW!

Fuck yes, this flawless OTP. Bamftastic until the end. I’m in the middle of rewatching now and about to start Season of Death. OH SEASON OF DEATH WITH THAT KISS, FRELL ME DEAD.

chinhandy asked: ah mah gahhhh, you love Farscape too? THIS IS V V EXCELLENT. What are your TOP FIVE EPISODES?????

Ok this took a while to reply to because I had to think about it! Farscape is basically tied with Fringe for the #1 slot in my heart. And I’m sort of in the middle of a Farscape rewatch, which came to nearly a grinding halt with all the new episodes of things again and it’s funny because I already rewatched it last July but y’know when you love a show, it is never enough. BUT WHAT. Only 5 episodes total out of the 88 + PKWars? ASDFGHJKL; I’m the most indecisive in all the lands. I’ve only seen the entire series around 3 times total and I don’t think that’s enough to decide but my preliminary decision is:

A Human Reaction
Icarus Abides
Die Me Dichotomy
The Choice
Season of Death

But dude that is not fair. I have, like, 25 favorites. I just watched Out of Their Minds earlier and I gotta say while my favorites are the amazing, heartbreaking episodes, I love me some Farscape crack. No show does crackity cracking crack like Farscape. And Crackers Don’t Matter. Oh, my, Crackers Don’t Matter, how I love that episode. (Humans are superior! I got great eyes. They’re better than 20/20 AND THEY’RE BLUE!) I’ve seen that one a lot of times. Won’t Get Fooled Again! Etc. Anytime John ends up on Earth via his head being messed with or wrong space-time wormhole hijinks, it’s the best. And, oh yeah, what’s better than Ben Browder’s fine ass in leather? I’m so glad that after A Bug’s Life, the show basically went with why have we been keeping him in his astronaut khakis let’s keep him in PK leather always. Excellent decisions, show, because hnnngh DAT ASS.
And you know what else Farscape does the best? Two and three parter episodes. (Just finished the Look at the Princess 3 parter.) So very epic. Always. Not that the series isn’t very serial, because it’s not a procedural type sci-fi show in the long run. It took around the whole first season to get from that procedural feel of it to the serial but when it went with that mythos, oh boy, did it get flawless. I judge people who say they tried it and couldn’t get into it. I’m sorry, but I do. The premiere is wonderful, it’s a great pilot that actually sets up the mythos from the start. And if you can make it to The Flax and A Human Reaction you’re golden. This series is perfection. Sci fi is my favorite. Sci fi is the best.

This just turned into a me stanning Farscape in the hopes that those who don’t watch it yet do post, didn’t it? Yes, it did. No shame. None at all.

This is my second favorite show after Fringe. Or tied with it. I don’t know. If I didn’t already own this, I’d buy it! Actually, I never bought it but rather won it in a writing contest last summer. We had to tell a brand new Farscape story in 3 sentences. Badaboom, mine was the best! Sorry for bragging but I’m proud because I don’t think I’m all that good at writing/”fanfic”. Three sentences was easy, though. Anyway. 88 eps, 50 bucks, y’all.

GO BUY IT WHILE IT IS THIS CHEAP!!!
