The pitch meeting for this show: "An American Astronaut lost in the Australian BDSM scene."

Farscape starts off nuts, then gets progressively nuttier. It's also incredibly touching at times. You'll love it.

The thing about this show that's pure magic is that you'll soon stop seeing the aliens as puppets. They'll be no different than an actor in makeup. The acting is that good. When you laugh or cry over something a puppet alien does, you'll be completely hooked.

Farscape has to one of the best written and character driven series ever.

One thing that shows Crichton's character is he blurted out "what is wrong with you people" not something along the lines of "what are you." He doesn't judge by looks or someone being non-human.

Hands down one of the best shows. A hill i will die on.

And after this show ended, Ben Browder and Claudia Black moved over to Stargate SG-1 to continue jumping across the universe with wormholes! SG-1 even parodied Farscape in their 200th episode purely for fan service.

“Whomever killed my brother will pay dearly…” “YOUR BROTHER CAN’T DRIVE!” 😂❤😂

BSG had no aliens. Farscape has *all* the aliens! Enjoy this trip!

The nicest football player in High School grows up & befriends all the Drama and Art students. And they spend the next 4 seasons trying to kill him.

One aspect of Farscape that I love (and is safe to say this early) is that it loves scifi tropes, but it loves them more when they're on their head and spun until they're dizzy. Oh, your show has a beautiful, orchestral theme song? We're going to make ours a weird, primal chorus of grunts and wails. Humans have an earned their rightful place in space travel? Well, our boy Crichton is pretty confused all the time and way out of his element. He's able to contribute, though. Your main characters work as a team to solve their problems? Our crew hates and mistrusts each other and is barely able to run away from their problems. And so on and so forth. I love this show. It seeps into your bones.

Farscape is a real trip ... the characters become so good you forget they are puppets :)

"Is this what they would consider a wormhole?" Oh boy, we've just opened the can of wormholes.

The thing to know about this series is that it was a big inspiration for James Gunn when he made Guardians of the Galaxy, to the point Ben Brower, the main hero Criton, is in Guardians 2 as a minor villain (he is the Sovreign's second in command) And like Guardians of the Galaxy, you will both laugh hysterically and sob as this show goes on

Interstellar: Between stars Intergalactic: Between galaxies

Frelling Yotz!! I've missed this show! Fun fact: Commander Crais is also the voice of Pilot. Never fear, there are emotions. LOTS of emotions. You'll laugh, you'll cry. It'll be a good ride.

Love this show. Gets exponentially better every few episodes.

One of the top sci-fi shows ever and it only gets better and better through the seasons. So happy to see someone reacting to this show!

Farscape starts out kind of formula and tame, but by the end of the 1st season once they figure out who the characters are and the stories they want to tell it becomes pure awesomeness.

Claudia Black was also in 'Pitch Black,' and has done a bunch of video game voice work (particularly in the Uncharted series). She was also in 'The Nevers.' And of course the later seasons of Stargate SG-1 as Vala Mal Doran.

I know the golden rule is ‘Show, Don’t Tell’ but, unfortunately, you just have to accept that D’Argo is a great warrior without seeing any proof of it. The prosthetics for D’Argo were constantly being worked on and improved throughout season one but, at this early stage of production, Anthony Simcoe could barely turn his head while wearing the costume, much less fight in it. (That’s why he has to spin his whole body around to face people.) So, for now, just give D’Argo the benefit of the doubt. 😉

OMG!!! You’re reacting to Farscape!! My favorite SciFi TV show of all time. I’ve rewatched the series multiple times.

I'm so stoked that you're watching Farscape. This show has one of the best villains of all time.

B5 and Farscape are top tier sci-fi. Pioneering for their time and with modest budgets. Looking forward to watching this entire playlist !!

Here is something that isn't apparent. Lani Tupu, the actor who plays Captain Craise (Evil Goatee guy) plays two parts in this show as he is also a part of the regular crew. He is the voice of Pilot.

This show really managed to stretch their production budget to support the story telling. All I'm going to say is, you're in for a hell of a ride.

Honestly one of the best and underrated scifi shows ever made. You'll fall in love with the story, character development and relations.

Welcome to the bizarre, wacky world of Farscape Angela. As an Australian I have a special place in my heart for this show given it's one of ours and it's full of Aussies and Kiwis.

Farscape was a big inspiration for James Gunn when he made Guardians of the Galaxy, so much so that he cast Ben Browser in a cameo in GoG 2.

I wasn't expecting this. Very Nice! One of my favorite shows. SPACE SHIT!

That little guy is a DRD. You'll love this show. This show is unlike any other. And youll meet my fav character later in the season. He is amazing

The difference is Interstellar = Between stars. Intergalactic = Between Galaxies. Farscape was such a good show, the Firefly of its age and the Crichton and Aeryn relatioinship is something you should keep an eye on if you watch more it becomes the soul of the show and the chemistry those two actors had was magic on screen.

I absolutely loved Ben Browder and Claudia Black back in the day in Farscape, and years later had my mind blown to smithereens when Stargate SG-1 hired them both for the later seasons of SG-1 where they continued to be some of the best actors ever in SciFi or any genre. So happy you're watching the show, hope you enjoy it :)

38:24 Angela: i don't know if there's depth or emotions.... Me: Oh boy 🙃 Enjoy the ride, it's an old show and can seem familiar but i can comfortably say that there's some stuff in it you never seen, anywhere, ever. I would give anything to watch Fasrcape for the first time again😢

Farscape has been in my top 3 Sci-Fi series of all times for decades and continues to hold it's place. One of the best sci-fi series ever created. And a great example of a character driven story telling. Every character is interesting and feel 3 dimensional. It's a great watch all around.

This show is hands down the best ever Sci-Fi show ever made. Zero budget for CGI so they just did practical. Chefs kiss, more shows should return to doing that. Lets Frellin Go.

Yes! This and Stargate are the two shows that should be on the must watch list.

This is one of my absolute favorite series. ❤❤

I loved the fact that this series had plenty of humor while exploring a wonderful storyline. In the most alien of circumstances, humor is what always makes it feel more human.

Favorite description of this show is that it is a harrowing exploration of one American's descent into the Australian BDSM scene

Wow! I can’t believe you’re reacting to Farscape. You will love it and there’s lots of space $#!+

I'm so glad you are reacting to Farscape! It doesn't show up on reaction channels nearly as often as shows like BSG or Firefly, but it definitely should.

Ben Browder and Claudia Black also team up later in Stargate SG1 seasons, 9 and 10. They are a great acting duo. They play well off each other each..

You're in for a beautiful and wild ride with this show.

OMG!! Never though I'd see this reaction... WhoooHoooo!

Yeah Farscape! Claudia has done a lot of voice work, dubbing anime among other things, Virginia Hey was a Bond girl (The Living Daylights) and was in Mad Max 2 - The rest of the cast is mostly known for their work in Australia - which is where they made Farscape. For what you see on the screen, this show was done on the very cheap, they got a lot out of their money too. Occassionally you'll see them reuse effect shots and makeup... They were very good at making the best show they could for as cheap as they could

One of the names in this that interests me is the creator/executive producer Rockne S. O'Bannon. His sci fi stuff always has interesting aliens, but his schtick is not evil aliens we have to fight (so human motives are never in question--we are always justified in what we do), but a group of very different aliens who have to work together towards a common goal. Competing motives are always important for him, and sometimes we can come off not so well and aliens can appear more sympathetic. His stuff is about negotiating difference and finding what we have in common. It makes for more complex and interesting plots, better stories.

Believe me, there is no scifi quite like Farscape. So unpredictable and charmingly weird. Claudia Black is an amazing actress and is an icon as Aeryn Sun. Always loved the amount of color that is used in this show, which contrasts to the usual muted colors in other scifi. Farscape had a tiny budget for such an ambitious story but they never held back and tried to go as big as they could.

Now this was a real surprise. I'm quite glad you're giving this a go. I think I might just rewatch this with you. Awesome choice Angela.

Ah! I'm so excited to see this come up. Farscape is special. What a trip we have before us. Here we go! :)

Farscape is cooky and weird in the best way ever. Claudia and Ben reunite after this on Stargate SG1 but in the later seasons, but its also a great series. Also the actor is Ben Browder, he was in Guardians of the galaxy as one of the Gold ppl, can't remember their name.

I got into Farscape because it was one of the first sci-fi shows to come out on the new format of "DVDs" in the UK. Hooked from the get-go. Convinced many people to watch it over the years and it's a real shame it isn't as popular as other shows, everyone who watches it loves it. You're in for a wild wild ride. Only Firefly comes close for taking you through the same emotional range as a single episode of Farscape can.

So glad you are watching Farscape!!!

Oh I just thought of a Battlestar Galactica connection - Kent McCord, the actor playing John’s father played Capt Troy. A colonial warrior in the Galactica 1980 series.

The first season is good, but the three-part episode "Liars, Guns, and Money" toward the end of season two is peak Farscape. One of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time--it's just so weird and different. I actually got to hang out with the cast at a party back at the end of season three, and interviewed Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Anthony Simcoe, and Gigi Edgley for a magazine that I worked for at the time. They all seemed really nice.

I kept thinking, "Well, we finished BSG, what now?" And now you are following up with two of my other favorite sci-fi shows, FarScape and Babylon 5. FarScape started with 'what the hell is this' and quickly snared me because of my love of anything Henson. Babylon 5, my brother and I would get a six pack of IBC root beer, get a pizza, and watch the show while playing Magic: The Gathering during commercials. It was one of our best bonding times and remains one of my happy thoughts all these years later. Effects and makeup just keep getting better as you go. Can't wait to share another journey with you!

Farscape! The greatest love story of all time!!

Yay! Farscape! Johnny is a dreamboat

I love this shownso much. For me, the newness and weirdness never wear off, and it always has elements of "crazy fever dream" in the best ways possible.

The MAKEUP on these characters is TIMELESS. That's one practical effect that doesn't age!

I was probably around 20 when I first saw this... all the episodes hadn't even aired yet (I think you and I are roughly the same age, Angela)

HELL YEAH! Clicked so fast this is my favorite show!!!

Criminally underrated and often forgotten. It's been years since I watched it, but so so good!

My level of excitement that you are watching this show is through the roof!! Poor Farscape gets so overlooked when it was some of the best sci-fi media, not just for it's own time, but of ALL time! Plus, muppets! Also I 100% never noticed you had a DRD back there 🤣

Oh, wow, Farscape? That's a show I haven't watched in AGES. Well, this should be fun.

John... Ben Browder.... also plays Cameron Mitchell in the later seasons of Stargate SG-1, another GREAT sci-fi show.

Farscape was one of my favorite shows, still is in fact. Thank you for letting us watch this again, for the first time, through your eyes. Enjoy the ride!

John nearly blowing his own head off because he doesn't understand the weapons is my favorite moment.

This show is so underrated!

Oh, didn't now this was coming. Very nice.

Farscape is one of the BEST shows ever aired! It continually broke new ground while surprising and delighting the audience. It is a WILD ride and worth every single minute of it!

The cute little robots are DRDs- they're biomechanical living things that perform maintenance and repairs for Moya. Moya is a Leviathan - a living Starship kinda like a space whale. No weapons, but a limited shield that the starburst ability to run. Pilot is just that- he's Moya's pilot- a separate being. Sebations are humans in that part of the galaxy. They are the Peacekeepers. You'll learn more about them as things go on.

What?!?!?! Am I seeing things Harvey? Are we really watching this?!?!🤩🤩🤯🤯

Damn this is a blast from the past. If you're doing this then you'd LOVE babylon 5

The yellow guy is a Farscape D.R.D. - Diagnostic Repair Drone. As seen on Leviathan class transports. They are necessary for the Leviathan's continued operation. 😊 Just so you know this show has lots of space ships as well as some very exotic looking aliens. 😁 In all fairness... John's ship was floating in space when the Peacekeeper Prowler hit it with a glancing blow that spun the prowler around enough to cause it to collide with an asteroid...so not John's fault. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. 😢 Moya is a bio-mechanoid lifeform. A living sentient ship. Our crew members are Pilot - the ships navigator and liaison, Ka D'argo - a Luxan Warrior, Rygel the XVIth a Hynerian Dominar, P'au Zotoh Zhaan - a Delvian Priestess, Officer Aeryn Sun - a Peacekeeper Commando of the Plaisar Regiment. Captain Bialar Crais is in charge of the Peacekeeper Command Carrier. Sebacean by race along with Aeryn Sun. 😊 Interstellar = The space or void between stars within the same galaxy. Intergalactic = The space or void between two galaxies such as Andromeda and the Milky Way. 😅 Claudia Black was in the Vin Diesel sci-fi movie Pitch Black which was the first movie in the Chronicles of Riddick trilogy. It was very reminiscent of Ridley Scott's Alien. 😮

BSG was filmed in Canada and showcased some great canadian character actors, Farscape was filmed in Australia and showcases some great Aussie character actors.. Claudia Black and Virginia Hey for starters

Absolutely excited to follow you on this journey. I only got into farscape 10 years ago and it was a blast for my partner and I. The show feels different compared to most other scifi.

OMG!!! Farscape?! YES!!!! You're going to LOVE this series!!

Farscape is amongst my favourite sci-fi series. But fair warning - it isn't always light hearted. It has its dark moments.

Doctor Who, Babylon 5 AND Farscape?? Our cups runneth over!

This is a great excuse for me to rewatch the show. I’ve had the complete series sitting here waiting for me to go through it again. So let’s go!

Angela!!! You’re doing Farscape!?!? 😃😃😃 I really hope you love it. I’m fairly certain you will 😏 It’s true, it’s a little up and down near the beginning. But it’s never bad. It’s such a fun show! The characters are incredible! Even Moya…you’ll come to love her 😊

I remember watching this series as it aired growing up. It's been so long that I'd forgotten just how imaginative it all was. They weren't afraid to experiment with new ideas and new alien concepts, and I can't help but think nothing like this would ever get the green light today. Too many risks taken, too much originality with no guarantee of an easy payoff. It wasn't based on anything that existed prior to the show, it was just the sci-fi channel taking a risk on a totally new IP. Great stuff, and I'm looking forward to re-watching this now!

The Crichton actor is Ben Browder. I wouldn't look too deeply on his resume, as it might contain a surprise or two down a very. long. road. Also worth mentioning that Lanai Tupu plays both Crays and voices Pilot. The guy is talented.

Oh frell. Let's goooo!

I am SOOOOO excited for this! No one does Farscape and I think you will love it! Thank you for keeping me entertained. Edit: And now having watched your reaction, I am getting that feeling like I have just run into a bunch of old friends.

"She's seen his tongue" I laughed. I've loved this show since it first aired, and that had never crossed my mind. Bravo.

Love it farscape is in my list of favourite show it's awesome, & all the characters grow on you and watching their journey to being better people us so much fun

I'm looking forward to this! Starting the video now :)

My gosh, you do keep on picking the best shows. I am dead certain you will love this ride and I'm gonna enjoy watching you take it.

The first minutes of Farscape are like an acid trip. I love it.

😍😍😍WOOHOO!!! I never thought this day would come! You are SOOOOOO lucky to get to experience this for the first time! Before their was Team Avatar, there was Team Moya! I will be watching every installment of these reactions. ENJOY!!

Both Ben and Claudia were central figures on Stargate, when Richard Dean Anderson retired. That wss true fun as Farscape had just ended, and you will see why it was almost a necessity, peace!❤

Babylon 5 is great, I like others felt kind of eh about the first season (same with DS9) but stuck with it because people said it came together and they were right when it hits, it really hits and everything works together and you fall in love with the characters.

Oh here we go! --- "Look upward, and share... the wonders I've seen."

This is an incredible example of good science fiction with truly unique aliens (courtesy of the Jim Henson company and creator Rockne S. O'Bannon) and very diverse, strong female characters. I love it. And there really are some Wizard of Oz parallels. In addition to the whole "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore" of it, there's also the fact that the main character's arrival resulted in the accidental death of that Peacekeeper commander's brother. And, of course, the quest to get home.

This holds a place in a childhood SCI-FI corner of my heart, right next to Star Trek voyager, but distinctly behind Stargate SG-1.

Fucking love this show!!!!!! woohoo!!!!! aawwwww, i heart you. :D this is def my speed - i do well when there's a hint of comedy in my space shit; like i love bsg and the expanse, but i tend to prefer lighter hearted fare normally because i need t hat lightness. B5 i could never really get into myself - but i know plenty that love it. DW i loved the first season but they lost me later, so i'll prolly only stick around for a couple seasons of that... ooohhh, i like the flg title screen. your cursing will nicely adapt from frak to frell... lol translator microbes are much preferential to me than babelfish, just sayin... like i love hitchhiker's guide, but i'd rather this than a fish in my brain. FYI, the guy whose brother was killed is named Crais (you called him "goatee", lol), and he also voices Pilot. :) Crichton is played by Ben Browder. He took over the main lead in SG1 after Macgyver left... lol. And I'd never thought about it before, but you're right, he was chris evans before chris evans, lol... I didn't even clock Murray Bartlett from TLOU. And when i went and looked him up I realized he also played Mouse in the latest Tales of the City season and was in S1 of the White Lotus (i watched S1, but wasn't really interested in S2 so far, it's something i have to be in the mood for). Claudia Black - will always be Aeryn Sun to me. and i mean, this show is a quarter century old... it's like when we were kids watching stuff from the 60's (remember mr. ed the talking horse). I was early mid 20's when i watched it, just graduated from college and the bf and i moved to Vegas (the first time). also, yes, love the 90's style, it was the best... OP, like OPLA or the anime? because i am all in on OPLA and absolutely loved it, couldn't do the anime, i did try - 3 times... i did watch 3 animes recently, which was surprising... i think the space shit show AFTER these big ones (B5, DrW, Farscape), my vote is For All Mankind or something in the new trek universe if you aren't watching those (SNW or LD - LD is one of the few animated shows i love)... Red Dwarf and The Orville are pretty good, but i don't think RD would be your thing, it's also old AF...

Farscape is the "space shit" you've been looking for and the "space shit" we all deserve. Have fun.
