OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?

They filmed the season finale before they got the news that SciFi was cancelling them (reneging on contract) so taht is why it said "to be continued". it wasn't inserted after the fact, unlike the crappy one line "SciFi likes to thank all of you SUCKERS for tuning in. HA HA we got you

"

I have recently been enjoying Farscape on DVD.
I had no idea I missed so many 2nd year episodes.
Probably because of SCI-FI channels scheduling jugglers.

But, I love this series even more now...

In "Dream A Little Dream" they are stuck on a planet ruled LAW FIRMS, and 90% of the population are lawyers. Eat your heart out Franz Kafka! What a flippin nightmare!!!

I really have to start collecting this series. Right now I'm put through the torture chamber Mondays at work because Farscape is only played at 1am Monday morning. If I'm up anywhere near that time, I'm watching at least some of it.

It was a good show that had a hard time with its budget. Sci-Fi supported it here and there but some shows you can really see where the production values fell.

Overall the show was a great joy ride with a punk ending.

I do hope they produce the mini-series or movies as they claim they are going to do.

Doesn't the cheeze have a VCR? Tivo? Boss proof wristwatch tv with satellite reciever? (I personally favor the Last approach)

Now over a year old, the answer to the topic is still the same.

I never got into this series, a couple of neat ideas and some imaginitive stories - but not enough cool ships to keep me entertained.

Farscape used to be my favorite. It was indeed the best, edging out B5. After collecting all I was willing to of the Farscape DVDs (at some expense!), I took a risk and got the DVD of the entire series run of Firefly (of which I had only seen a couple of episodes) for the cost of one Farscape "collection" of four episodes.

Not only was it a great deal, I have changed my tune. Firefly is by far the best SciFi series I've ever seen. It saddens me to think such a good show can get canned by Fox as it did. But it wasn't lost on Universal studios - they're shooting the move Version, "Serenity".
