  • What is with everybody's obsession with the show Farscape?  I saw a freaking flyer on a telephone pole yesterday saying "Save Farscape!"... I've watched the show... I don't get it.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>it's a gift and a curse, unfortunately. It makes the story that much richer but it also can easily scare away potential new viewers...Scifi needs more Farscape "chain reactions"</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The recap episode is also a good place to begin. I only started watching the series in the third season, but I still had a fair understanding of what was going on. More serials should have primer episode every few seasons</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that was a good recap. I actually missed half of season 1 and all of season 2, then I caught the recap, watched every episode when Sci-Fi re-aired all the previous episodes, and went from there.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>it is good, horribly so and it's got the reviews to prove it but Scifi don't give a damn. All they see is a show that costs more to make than their precious little StarGate and gets slightly lower ratings. Forget the fact that it's the longest running Scifi Original series to date</div>
