Farscape Reviews

Farscape is truly a post-modern sci-fi show, if such a definition exists. The basic premise of an astronaut ending up in a distant location, on a ship of escaped convicts, seems like a simple mix of Buck Rogers and Blake?s 7, but ingenious storytelling, fantastic character development and a talent for both humour and incredibly ...  Read the complete review

Farscape is as close to post-modern sci-fi as you'll likely see for some time, and it's set right here in the 21st century... just in a very different part of the universe to what we're used to. The decline of Star Trek in recent years, with the increasingly less creative Voyager and Enterprise, has caused newer and fresher ...  Read the complete review

After seeing the last episode of season 4 and knowing there will be no season 5 i am left asking WHAT THE FRELL IS GOING ON??? Why have a 'to be continued' screen when we all know it won't be!! How can they leave it like that?? For those of you who have no clue what I am ranting on about, at the end of season 4 when ...  Read the complete review

I am going to begin this review with a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! FARSCAPE HAS ENDED! I PRAY TO GOD FOR THE 5TH SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But we must not dwell on the past, the brilliance of the sci-fi tv show, shown on bbc2 6:45pm Monday and Tuesday, is without a doubt in a class of its own. We started back in season 1 ...  Read the complete review

Farscape, now, what is there to say?? Well... I have now been watching this Sci-Fi series for just over one and a half years. So having now seen all of the current episodes that have been shown I can, with confidence, give my opinion on this series. The genre that Farscape is a part of is often considered 'geeky' and for ...  Read the complete review

errrrr pat on the head! Commander John Crichton is a an astronaught testing a new acceleration theory when the experiment goes wrong and his spacecraft is shot across the Galaxy into unknown space, through a worm hole. As events unfold he finds himself on board Moya, a living ship used to transfer prisoners by the Peace Keepers (the ...  Read the complete review

When i first watched Farscape (on its first run on BBC2) i was a little unsure. I decided to keep going, as the first few episodes in any series are a little lame (B5 was like this, and that turned out to be an excellent series). The first few episodes are rough, but they do have their moments. However, the series comes of age when they ...  Read the complete review

When I first heard that a new Sci-Fi series was about to be aired on the BBC I thought 'oh great! Another Star Trek copy is just what we need' Then I heard that it was about a bloke who travelled through a wormhole while accidentally testing a space craft and found himself in a strange world of Aliens and I thought 'Hm, sounds ...  Read the complete review

When I first heard about Farscape, I had in mind another version of Bill Mumy's (Will Robinson in Lost in Space) Space Cases. When the BBC first aired Farscape I was absolutely hooked. Firstly it was refreshingly different - it had humour, it had decent make-up and animatronic characters, the characters (whether they be animatronic or not) ...  Read the complete review

I have seen both evil and good puppets, but rudeness, selfishness, greed, pomposity and loathsome personal habits are still something I usually associate with people. Because of this, Rygel XV1 on Farscape is a refreshing change. He may only be tiny but he is quite unpleasant and powerful enough to make his presence felt. The storyline is ...  Read the complete review

I missed the first two episodes of this series and when I watched it for the first time I thought - this is weird! I'm never going to get into it. I WAS VERY WRONG! I can't wait now for the next series to start. The characters, once you get used to the makeup and costumes, are very believable and fun. I think they ...  Read the complete review

I was wary when I saw the first episode, but after that, things got better. Farscape blends the best qualities of some of the finest sci-fi telly and adds some magic of its own. Catapulted across the known universe and now an alien in an alien land, US Astronaut and scientific pioneer John Crichton is a Buck Rogers for the 21st Century. Caught on ...  Read the complete review

I only just latched onto this series midway through its Second Series run on BBC2. At first i didnt pay it a whole lot of attention, but as i watched it i found myself instantly hooked. It revolves around Moya and its crew (John Crichton, Chianna, Zhaan, D'Argo, Ayern Sun, Rygel and Pilot. The crew are a mix bag of strange alien ...  Read the complete review

Farscape has just got to be the best sci-fi show on TV at the moment! If you've never watched it before, then I wholeheartedly recommend that you give it a try - you’d be surprised at how much you’ll enjoy it! It is refreshingly different from shows such as the Star Trek spin-offs and Babylon 5 and is nothing like ...  Read the complete review

The makers of this series are either frighteningly intelligent or frighteningly stupid. I'm leaning towards the former, but I'm not sure yet. The series is set "somewhere" on the other side of the Galaxy. Luckily they avoid falling into the trap of so many sci-fi series' of trying to justify where they are and ...  Read the complete review

Since I like Science Fiction, I easily got into this series. It is shown at tea time, and sometimes the special effects, or even the things that the characters say is a bit revolting – call me sensitive, but food is a sensitive issue! The story is of an astronaut (John Crichton) who got caught in a worm hole and was shipped to another ...  Read the complete review

I watched the first episode of Farscape going "been done before" - the pilot who gets dumped in a foreign environment (Buck Rogers) the living ship (SeaQuest) etc etc etc but I stuck with it and quickly got over my immediate impressions. farscape is the story of John Crichton an astronaut, who gets sucked through a wormhole and ...  Read the complete review

I know that most people enjoy watching a drama or comedy but I prefer a Sci-Fi such as Farscape. Farscape is a mix of humour and action accompanied by brilliant acting from Ben Browder (Chricton) and others. I especially both praise and congratulate the story writer who has come up with some real classic episodes which are sometimes ...  Read the complete review

But this one's damn good... honest. I love the Jim Henson Muppet animatronics, especially Dominar Rygel, he's great, the cute wickle thing! Add to this the other great characters and you've got a brilliant series with an ongoing storyline that will last for a fair few years yet. The first series saw them being chased by a ...  Read the complete review

For some reason Farscape just didn't click with me after watching the first episode. I don't kow why - perhaps I just wasn't in the mood. As a consequence I missed several episodes before starting again. As an avid sci-fi fan I'm thoroughly disappointed in myself for judging quickly and harshly. Having now seen the last 6 ...  Read the complete review
