Humans are SUPERIOR!
Ok, people. The Farscape blog is back! But please don’t make me review “Taking the Stone” and “Visitas Mortis.” Or “Picture if you Will” for that matter. Ok, also, “Dream a Little Dream.” Ain’t nobody got time for that. So, … Continue reading

“This is John Crichton … Somewhere in the Universe”
There’s a lot that used to annoy me about Lost, not the least of which was its issue with pacing. You’d spend 90% of the season face-palming while characters refused to answer one another’s questions for no reason other than, … Continue reading

My Side, Your Side! My Side, Your Side!

You are the female of your species?
Alright people. This is it. The post wherein I endeavour to find something redeeming about Jeremiah Crichton. Admittedly, it probably is the worst episode of the series. If for no other reason than that it is just so darn … earnest. Earnest … Continue reading

“I’m Butch. This is Sundance.”
The theme of this round of episodes is revelation — specifically character revelations. A reminder to us that in the world of Farscape, you can take nothing an no one at face value. Again, it has to be said that Farscape resists … Continue reading

Frell You!
(Housekeeping note. When I get in project mode, I go a little crazy. I could probably make a new entry in this blog every day, but I feel that might run counter to its stated purpose of keeping me grounded … Continue reading

I try to save a life a day. Usually it’s my own
With this pair of episodes, Farscape takes an undeniable step forward in quality. After five “monster of the week” adventures, we are now seeing events which will have more significant ramifications for our characters going forward. “PK Tech Girl” PK Tech … Continue reading

“That is the last time I follow one of your plans!”
It’s not secret that the success of Farscape came about by random chance. Unlike the intricately scripted Babylon-5, for example, it’s pretty clear the writers of Farscape were flying by the seat of their pants for most of the show’s … Continue reading
