As a teenager, I really enjoyed watching Farscape. As an adult, I definitely feel a lot of the flaws that the show has. But, they didn't compromise on wardrobe or set design or on the characterization for the main characters. Pretty much everyone had some sort of arc going on more or less all the time. And besides all that, it was legit scifi.
But the thing that stands head and shoulders above the rest was Wayne Pygram's Scorpius. You simply do not get villains of that caliber every day.
Interestingly enough, Pygram also plays Tarkin in a blink and you miss it scene in Revenge of the Sith. Which makes me think that we missed out on something very special with Rogue One. Instead of CGI Tarkin, I really wish they could have had Pygram sprinkle some Scorpius magic into a Tarkin role.
- 7thaccount 3y agoThe show definitely has some campiness to it and some episodes are a little cringe, but overall it's wonderful and a breath of fresh air. I didn't watch it until I was a young adult and enjoyed it. The Farscape corner of the galaxy is so bizarre it does feel actually alien in a sense. Scorpius is a terrifying villain. He's brilliant, ruthless, and seemingly always one step ahead. If anyone hasn't seen it, I'd recommend giving it a go if you like scifi and anything Henson.
