Thanks - Netflix now I am hooked on Farscape

[Tom]

Damnit guys, you made me buy it now

Why not Netflix?

Because bluray.

[Lazybones]

While that is all good, has Tom still not watched the series?

[Tom]

I haven't, But I've heard a lot of people tell me to watch it, so I figure I will.

[Mr. Analog]

You WILL NOT regret it, it's the best. Up there with Star Trek

Some of the best character evolution I've seen in televised fiction as well

[Melbosa]

And Jim Henson puppets that get kicked, smacked, thrown around and have sex.  Jim HENSoN!  Funny tidbit: Farscape was the first series to actually have a TV series actor physically interact with a puppet on a regular bases in real scenarios - like punching, kicking or throwing around.

On a scale of CSI thru BreakingBad, you would give it... ?

[Mr. Analog]

I think that's why a lot of the day to day effects worked so well, I mean the age of the CG shows a lot for some scenes but all the practical effects (puppetry, pyrotechnics, etc) have really held up.

Hard to believe the series started FIFTEEN YEARS AGO

I don't want to spoil anything for Tom

[Tom]

Lol!

Speaking of Jim Henson, his first muppet shows were rather adult. It wasn't till he tamed it down that it went anywhere...

I'd wager a milon of credit of those 15 cycles you would never have a microt of boredom for every arn spent watching these episodes.

Yes, before Battlestar Galactica redid it (although the original did have one new word made up "frack" later changed to "frak" in the remake) Farscape imagined new words for many things in the show, and not just swears: http://farscape.wikia.com/, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary_of_Farscape_terms
