This is my first time watching Farscape. So far I have watched Seasons
1-3. Can I just say I think the real romance here, is the bromance between
Crichton and D’Argo. Ben Browder and Anthony Simcoe have great chemistry. Even
though they are two different species, they are able to get one another’s
jokes. (And it’s about to get real for a second.) Through their differences
they learn they are the same, and share similar heart breaks like lost family
and lost love. Back to the bromance. One of my favorite moments is when
Crichton ask D’Argo how is doing before they try and trick the Peacekeepers,
and D’Argo says… “I have to pee.”
Aeryn, Aeryn, Aeryn for a Peacekeeper
she sure is a girl. Please don’t mistake my phrase being a girl as girls are
bad, or acting like a girl is bad. What I mean is for someone who had never
been in a “relationship” she knows what she is doing? No, wait I got it. She
never gives poor Crichton a break. Nailed it! (Disclaimer, its only my opinion
and thoughts when I am watching the show.) Like the time Scorpious was
literally inside Crichton’s head and when he was controlling Crichton, Crichton
killed Aeryn. Oh, what about that episode when Crichton/Crichton’s clone is
killed and when Aeryn comes back to Moya she is cold and distant. All I can say
sometimes is what about Crichton? He pretty much lost the only person who truly
knows him, and the only other human around. Sometimes I am not sure how to feel
about Rygel. Perhaps that is the way the show is meant to be? Sometimes I am
thinking to myself, what a weenie. Then other times it’s like don’t mess with
Rygel.
The most important character of the
show are the Jim Henson’s puppeteers. The Jim Henson’s Creature Shop knows how
to create such emotion. It’s amazing to me the animatronics The Creature Shops
uses is timeless. I think technology is great for movies, but there is
something wonderful about the size and creative of that kind of imagination. Now
when I look at Pilot I forget that is a puppet. There are no words to describe
it. Mind, blown.
There is one episode that I could not
get over, Eat Me. To me that was one
of the scariest episodes because those people just lost it, and started eating
the ship and their pilot. That poor pilot when he screams that they are cutting
off his arms and letting them grow back, so they can eat him was too real. I
guess I think it’s one of the scariest because The Creature Shop does an
excellent job conveying emotions, and people losing it when they are in the
middle of nowhere I believe. For a couple of episodes I could not look at
Pilot.
