Farscape
Reviews by Jess Lynde
The latest:
Dream a Little Dream.
Farscape (1999-2003) is the story of John Crichton, an Earth astronaut who gets flung to the far reaches of the Universe when an experimental flight he is piloting unexpectedly opens a wormhole. He unwittingly gets caught up in a prison break, and ultimately throws in with a motley crew of aliens, including a tentacled warrior, a beautiful blue priestess, a small but domineering deposed royal, a living ship and its pilot, and a soldier who becomes "irreversibly contaminated" for attempting to defend Crichton.
Combining fantastic action-adventure with light-hearted humor, compelling relationships, and voyages into the dark recesses of the soul, Farscape is a true "space opera." The show is chock full of memorable, richly detailed characters that you quickly grow to care about a great deal, including several created by Jim Henson's creature shop. The series is exhilarating, fun, amusing, and, at times, quite dark and heartbreaking. One of my all-time favorites.
