In any case if you like science fiction and have not watched Farscape give it a try as you may be surprised. No commercials and the player works well. It's not perfect but on many levels equals or surpasses Star Trek Next Generation.
About Farscape
During an experimental space mission, astronaut John Crichton, a man from our time, is hurled across a thousand galaxies to a completely alien world. In his quest to return to Earth, he finds himself aboard the leviathan, living starship "Moya" populated by escaping political prisoners from myriad alien cultures during a major alien conflict. Moya is capable thinking for herself, but is piloted by Pilot, who is organically attached to Moya. Crichton must rise to the challenge of surviving in a world he barely understands, keeping one step ahead of the pursuing Peacekeepers, a race of deadly mercenaries, and their leader Crais, who will stop at nothing to capture him.
Among the disparate alien refugees is D'Argo, a brutish Luxan warrior; Zhaan, a mystical, Delvian high priestess colored ethereal blue from her bald head to her toes; Rygel, 26-inches tall, who claims royal sovereignty over 600 billion subjects even though he was deposed over 250 years ago; Chiana, a quick-witted, gray-skinned sylph who wears very little and talks like a valley girl; and Officer Aeryn Sun, a front-line solider in the Peacekeeper corps who is forced to join the rebels. The refugees are also chased by the unspeakably evil Scorpius.
Farscape is a one-of-a-kind show. Definitely worth watching. It doesn't even pretend to be about science in any meaningful way. It's just a fantasy set in space. As long as you're OK with that idea, I think you'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of my favorite shows. Some people get turned off by the muppets, but I don't see why, the Jim Henson company does a fantastic job with 'em. I really sucks that this show got canceled.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun and time flys with it. Happy this series is available to watch.
