Farscape: How Do You Say 'We're Screwed' In Your Native Tongue?


Farscape is a series created by Rockne S. O'Bannon and the Jim Henson Company, an American-Australian effort. It's a sci fi series about a guy who gets thrown through a wormhole into a strange part of the universe where prominent space empires already exist. It is a littler different from most Science Fiction shows in that the main characters are not members of a large spacefaring federation or empire; they are merely renegades and criminals, hunted by the Peacekeepers, a spacefaring military organization that keeps most of the universe under its tyrannical control. Farscape features wonderful characters, good special effects, and a plotline that gets wildly out of hand very fast (in a good way). As far as I'm concerned, it is still one of the best things that have ever been on television, and its a shame that it got canceled due to the Sci Fi channel not wanting to produce it anymore. Nonetheless, it lives on now in comic book format. This site will go over most of the characters, good and bad, and some of the neat technology that appears in this show. Then I'll finish up with some nerdery and links to better, much better sites.
