Quote:This also was a show cut down before they got to finish the tale. The show starts of slow with little happening, nothing really fantastic goes on during the first Season but it's worth watching otherwise some find the storyline impossible to follow and the show does pick up fast near the end of Season 1.
Quote:When it was on TV it was hard to find and aired unpredictably, so many viewers were lost.
Quote:Farscape show later becomes a great sci-fi with wonderful aliens, like others have said :'it's wild, it's weird, the stories become fastmoving and continuity is great.'
Quote:As another poster put it : 'if you have patience and pay attention to the details it develops into a Fantastic show. It then becomes a gorgeous, mind-blowing series with the best aliens ever shown on TV'

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Buffy: The Vampire Slayer ...and they're all over (until next year when the movie comes, at least). Soooo...in the interest of trying something new, I've heard great things about Stargate: SG-1 and Farscape. What are your opinions of them? Which is the better show? Also important - what are the DVDs like? Sig Rebel

Quote:Originally posted by Ghoulman: Farscape is a terrific production, though it's writing didn't become really terrific until the last couple of seasons. But hey, the show was so much fun who cares? If anything, this crazy thing can go off into any direction... and it does! That's why I kept comming back, to cure my confusion! Isn't it great to be confused by TV? Not a regular experience is it? The new Battlestar Galactica is TERRIFIC. Right up there with Firefly. No worries. Check it!

Quote:Originally posted by Kirikoli: You will care about the characters in Stargate. You might not care about all of them - hence, why I, for example, find the episodes about Jaffa boring - but you will identify with at least one and that will drive you to watch every episode just for a glimpse of the recurring personality from that one character. You will care what's happening to your favorite characters and that's what makes you love the stories, even if they aren't as complex and overarching as a great novel. Anyway, that's my justification for leaving the room when my friends turn on Farscape or B5. :D

Quote:Originally posted by bikisdad: I'm just saying, if you're going to put Farscape down in favor of SG-1, you should really get to know the real Farscape in its entirety and not base your opinion on a very small sampling of episodes.

Quote:I was lured into Farscape by "The Way We Weren't" an early S2 EP where Aeryns past was explored.

Quote:Originally posted by Ghoulman: Well, I'm a big Star Trek fan. I still watch the old shows and love 'em! So smart, so sexy, and let's face it - still beats most Sci-Fi on TV today.
Quote:Originally posted by Ghoulman: Oh, and Neitzsche was a liar.
Quote:Originally posted by Ghoulman: About SG-1, there are lots of fans of that show and hey, it's a fun show with a great cast. It owes it's success to a sort of Star Trek lite formula and does it well. It certainly doesn't have the "emotional resonance" mentioned before but as a straight Sci-Fi adventure show it certainly delivers.
Quote:Originally posted by Ghoulman: But like Star Trek and Firefly, a show must give us what we need to resonate for years to come. I predict Firefly will have the same lasting power as the original Star Trek. And hey, I feel that way about Angel and Buffy too.

Quote:Originally posted by Kirikoli: Not to get off-topic or anything, but could someone tell me real quick why Fox cancelled Firefly in the first place and why it wasn't picked up by another channel? I should prolly know this already, but I just never found out...

Quote:Originally posted by Ghoulman: And I have a funny feeling Angel can have a great life in reruns... too bad no one is rerunning it! Which really gets on my nerves considering the ratings for Angel were getting impressive. Certainly better than a certain starship show that is renewed automatically it seems.

Quote:Originally posted by Radhil: I don't have time, but I thought the general gist was that they really wanted a show that was actiony and twitchy. Think Fastlane in space. They wanted Whedon's stamp on it because he carries his own fanbase. They didn't realize those two ideas don't mix well until too late, so they then sentenced it to death via timeslots and meddling (classic network-suit way to kill a show - put it in a bad situation, then blame it on bad ratings that actually stem from the bad situation). Although given their often gleeful pick-up of great shows that push a bit, only to rapidly drop them, is giving credibility that they're just asshats in a conspiracy.

Quote:Originally posted by Lindley: Quote: And I still refuse to watch most of season six. :D Season 6 was a refreshing change of pace. And while it took a while to get used to Jonas Quinn, he grew into a very likeable character.
Quote:In my opinion, SG1's downward trend in the last two seasons began with the way Jonas was booted off the show at the start of season 7. He could have continued to be a part of the show in a reduced capacity, easily.

Thing is, even if he did, it would have to be soooooo tiny, nobody would be able to read it. BTW, Ghouly - can I call you Ghouly? - what I said about Angel not having resonance. Well, okay, turns out I lied. Having written that apparently made my subconscious go "HEY!" and craft a dream where I was the new girl in Angel's bed... I mean life. He'd achieved redemption and humanity, and things were urbanite normal, but then his eyes changed to vampire yellow, so of course impending doom was on the way. I think it was setting me up to write something. I've toyed with Angel fan fic in the past, but never came up with anything good enough to put out in the public light. I think I looked like the actress playing Lois Lane in Smallville this season too aaaannd this is starting to sound like something Tash would write so I'm going to stop... right here.
