Farscape is the best sci-fi show in existence.
This guy
got shot though a wormhole.
Now he lives on a ship
a living ship with the rejects of the universe.
He's so happy to be there!
He is also being chased by an S&M fetishist named Scorpius, seen here in this high school yearbook photo.
Doesn't he look friendly?
Farscape is awesome for being technobabble free, having a non-sterilized universe, and MUPPETS!
This is a typical scene on Farscape.
Farscape currently has seasons 1-3 on Netflix instant queue. I hear Amazon has the series boxset or something for cheap.
Anyway discuss

I'm having trouble regarding Scorpius as a serious threat in that whole S&M getup. I keep thinking "What's the safe word?"
My girlfriend is watching this for the first time. Moya and Pilot are her favorite characters mainly because she has a thing for living ships. I hadn't seen the show in years and I still haven't seen the Peacekeeper Wars finale movie but man this show is better than I remembered and I liked it when it first on.
Also, watch out for the Skexxis-lookalike aliens! Jim Henson's creations for das vin.
Visit him at Monstrous Pigments' Instagram and Facebook pages!
For the first few episodes I kind of just stared at it all, thinking "what the fuck is this".
Then, I came to a realization. I was hooked. Hooked real good. And then I fell in love with the show. It's so silly but so good and funny and great all at the same time.
I love Scorpius. Easily the best anti-hero ever. He has a goal, and he's going for it, no matter what. If he has to grovel and beg, he'll do it - and then get up and keep going as if nothing happened the second he can. He's utterly ruthless in achieving his goal.
And he has the best shit-eating grin ever.
Can't recall name. Season 3 or 4 I think.
I lul'd, a lot.
Also, Claudia Black's comic timing is wonderful in the first episode.
There's a reason he's Dominar:...:
NO U R
Seriously, that is Farscape at it's best.
When I saw this thread I figured I liked such a silly show only because I was young and stupid.
So I watched a few of the linked videos.
It is significantly better than I remember.
I'm watching the shit out of this when I get home.
Like every single episode for the first season involved a bodily function, and most of them weren't particularly juvenile.
I need to see shit blown up, yo.
There are plenty of explosions already.
Plus hot people making out.
So I watched it. And I'm now on the Peacekeeper Wars and seriously considering purchasing the boxsets. So much awesome.
There is an episode in late Season 3 that had me in stitches:
As mentioned in the OP, for those of you who have Netflix, they have the first three seasons up on Watch Instantly so get going if you haven't seen it.
One of my favorite episodes is "Crackers Don't Matter", where everyone goes nuts. Because Farscape is best when everybody is crazy.
And then...
No man should have that kind of power.(Twitter)
Happy thought, Happy thoughts. Think Happy thoughts!
I still can't belive that a show like Farscape got made at all.
In a good way of course.

Also, are the books any good? Amazon is showing a, rather confusingly titled, "Farscape: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning".
Well if you finish Season 4 and don't think you need any resolution to the final episode, then more power to you.

Such as badass intro. It gets me pumped every time.
"My name is John Crichton, an astronaut."
Well, I haven't seen the Peacekeeper Wars and watched the season 4 finale when it first aired so...
Whaaaaaaaat?!
How can you live with yourself knowing you're missing more Farscape?
How can you live without the resolution?
How can you live with that as an ending to the series?
Sure, the Peacekeeper Wars wasn't all it could have been if the series had been given it's fifth season, but to leave Farscape at the end of the fourth season and know there's a resolution out there...
You sir are a stronger person then I am.
Little bit of trivia on a fifth season. The show was actually renewed for another season. Then, as the fourth one was finishing up, far too late to change anything, Sci-Fi decided to reverse the renewal. Cocksuckers.
I was furious back then, especially because the creators had apparently planned the fifth season to be the last one. If I remember correctly, wasn't Farscape still fairly popular at the time?
Thank goodness for the mini-series.
I hope the webisodes will start showing up soon. It would be equally awesome if they actually made more Farscape for TV if the webisodes come out and do well. I think I recall Henson hoping for that, and not wanting to give up on the show. That's probably very unlikely, but a man can hope.
However...
Because I was still pissed about Farscape being cancelled and didn't realize that the 'tramp freighter crewed by rag-tag team' was more or less a trope in action, this in turn led me to shun Firefly when it came out on FOX.
That last part I regret.
