Farscape: Season 1 Episode 1 - Premiere | Full Episode 

It may sound childish but, whenever this aired, I was glued to it. Tremendous programme.

The peacekeeper wars was the best ending we could’ve asked for. Wish this had a comeback with competent writers. Universe was well imagined. Plus all the alien chicks were pretty hot.

❤️

One word: Claudia Black

@@jonpayne4931 I'm pretty sure it originally aired in the early to mid 80's but it was released later and is dated as a later release.

falls into same category as firefly and that one series I cannot remember where it was also a large spaceship that was sentient and a bug that had a main weapon that can destroy lots of stuff at once ? there was a hot female lead that was a science experiment of a cross between a human and a carnivorous alien worm ? and another guy that was a dead assassin ?

@@mathewhoffer4541 i think you are talking about lexx, there was a woman who underwent a sex slave treatment, an incompetent captain, a robot tv head, and an assassin that is brought back from the dead to kill for the guy who killed him he was called the last of the brunen G or something like that.

@@beverlycrusher9713 yup .. thinking its been at least 20 years plus since last seen any episodes and it was a good show not exactly great like firefly but worth watching

IMO, Farscape was better than OG Star Trek.

You forgot to add "in my opinion". While I like Farscape a lot, there are series that "in my opinion" are equally good, if not better. "The Expanse" for example, or "The Orville".

@@vladdracul5072 The Orville"? He He! has so much potential to be funnier than what it is but it's not, so frustrating to watch for that very reason, what a waste.

And also Stargate. 😁

Star Trek sucks compared to star wars

@@sekimoki3024 yeah stargaze was such a kick ass show even the sequels were on point

Yup

Farscape and Lexx...i hate it when i talk about these two and peoples never heard about them... These two and X-files will always be in my pc..old or new pc....forever!

to true

It was never underrated you hipster goof!

'small minds' isn't a strong enough rebuke. I'm not sure there is one that does it justice. There's something that doesn't gel between imagination/creativity and the narrow-minded/shallow-automata attitude of 'exploit it for money/leverage'. Its worse than religious dogma, oh, wait; it's the same.

Not Star Trek and Stargate standard but okay, it's the 2000's generation Guardians of the Galaxy and Australian space sci fi.

Agreed.

couldn't put it better myself

There's some kinda curse with great Sci fi series - Firefly, Stargate etc, even Futurama got the axe 😢, EDIT: I never understood why Futurama got cancelled, it not only had a huge amount of fans, it had MUCH better writing and storylines than The Simpsons - Yet it Only lasted 8 seasons when the Siimpsons Is on its 650th lol

"Frenemies"? Very good! I must memorize that word! 🙂

What season of Stargate SG1 do they appear in?

I think season 9 and up

Honestly i thought SG1 was to boring until those two showed up and made it funny and entertaining. :)

​@TotalyRandomUsername each to there own I loved Jack's sarcasm...

LOL because at that time, it was in direct competition for any Star Trek Series. Ironically over the last 10-15 years hardly promoted, IE :Streaming. almost like buried until here recently. Again, I think the "New" Trek had something to do with that. Again, Competition.

wasn't very popular, but we fortunately got 4 amazing seasons out of it, which is more than can be said of most sci fi shows. And honestly, if I had to choose between either farscape or firefly getting the 4 seasons, I'd choose farscape any day.

Too bad only one of us can have her. You would make a great Best Man for her and I in Las Vegas. LOL

@@andypeterson8013 I’m furious! When do you want me there? Lol

I met a girl who looks and sounds exactly the same. She never heard of the series though lol.

@@JK-Visions did you marry her?

@@thehantavirus It has to. It´s not for kiddies!

i have the boxed sets too, as well as the movie, i think

@@beverlycrusher9713 Me too!

Who else wants to travel across the cosmos onboard of the living spaceship moya from farscape?

@@davidvangerner7241 I would be on board right away!

I adore this series! The music is over the top awesome! Jim Henson's Creature shop gets some great parts in the series. Done before CGI was fully developed, but no worries, this truely imaginative story will take you to the strangest, most dangerous encounters!

It's basically a reimagination of Buck Rogers.

The cast and the crew AND the fans! It was a great project they did to get the show done!

Me and my ex-wife LOVED this show,would watch it together.GREAT show and really liked the characters.

I remember hurrying the mow the yard on Friday nights so I could get done just in time to catch each new episode.

That was it; no 'star', just a good story well played by reasonable characters.

@@bikerfirefarter7280 There was another Aussie show that we'd get here weekly in the States, on Sunday afternoons. It was called, "The Lost World" and was also filmed in the late 1990s. More than a few of the actors from "Farscape" had guest role parts on this series. Another show that was consistently excellent.

Ah, well, ackshually ... there were a lot of big names in the show! New ones would pop up each episode on each new planet. But they were only big names in Australia, and unknown overseas. Each new episode would cast some famous Aussie actor as Random Alien Guy/Girl In Heavy Makeup--and they were eager to do it, because they were used to doing mundane Australian cop shows and hospital dramas, without ever getting the chance to go wild in an American-style sci-fi show. That's why a lot of the one-off minor characters are memorable.

I still have all the DVDs….. love this show so much!

They knew what not to show.

in the US we had the challenge of constant schedule changes for the show and that didn't help at all.... I lived before the internet became the thing that it has.

For those who dont know what a matte painter is, since I had to look this up, a lot of backgrounds in scifi shows like Star Trek TNG and Farscape use matte paintings for their backgrounds of planet surfaces and space stations and such. Even places like Cardassia in startrek DS9 was a matte painting. Its incredible stuff, you wouldn't know it watching the show unless you knew. I really appreciate the type of work u do

Plus there was a lot to paint, just with Moira aline!

I believe it's on Amazon Prime Video if you happen to have that too

Free with adverts here on youtube 😀

@@magpiefrogfrom2556 Yeah one episode? I'm talking about the entire series....

@@brianbru All episodes, all 4 seasons are free with adverts, i'm going to do a rewatch binge soon. 😀😀😀

I second Amazon Prime Video. I rewatched the entire series and the movies on Prime Video.

Has it been that long? Wow.

I heard a similar quote somewhere that stated something like, "Bad TV and movies borrow ideas. Good TV and movies steal."

@@cindycampbell3761 "To steal from one source is plagiarism, to steal from many is research"

@@duckyj7241 that's awesome!

they did finish it in the comics

The concept of "ripping off" in science fiction gets blurry the more you look into it. So many popular series borrowed - and sometimes improved - concepts from other works. For example, there are tons of non-Trek series that are about an interplanetary alliance/federation.

There are subtle little gems of humor, too... For example, Rigel farts helium. Okay... kind of funny. Not funny enough? Rigel is a deposed KING... who farts a NOBLE gas.

@@nyetzdyec3391 Only scientists enjoy this kind of humour. 😈

😁@@The_Joy_Finder

It's available in its entirety on Amazon Prime Video.

@@CricketsBay Thank you. I just found it on Tubi as well. Merry Christmas to you and yours

If you aren't already aware , they incorporated the two leads into the Stargate series playing similar character roles

@@BobBelson The *actors* who played John Crichton and Aeryn Sun were in Stargate: they were playing different characters, though.

@mythra 717 Yes you are correct. Ill modify the reply so it is not so easily misinterpreted.

Welllll...there was Firefly too😢

@@morganglen80 Firefly is great too but hardly got off the ground.

@firefly9838 yeah, very sad

There are rumors they might be a reboot, but just rumors.

@@Madbandit77 would be tough to beat the original cast. They were perfect for the roles.

They _SHOUT_ just did...

Me too

Meanwhile they are seriously working on it. Looking for investors.

If you're talking about Claudia's British accent it's not her real voice. She's pure Aussie.

OK. But only the beginning of Buck Rogers. ;-)

At least the Peacekeeper Wars 1&2 movie did it some justice! wrapped it up, more so than most TV Shows get!

Happened in Australia, too! 🙂

Note that the joke is on the Oregonian, who attributes the wrong accent to the Texan. :)

@@anonymoushuman8344 Thanks. Obviously I missed at least half of the joke, not being a native speaker! Merry Christmas! 🙂

It took me a while to realize how it works with Aussie accents, too. You're right, it does! Merry Christmas to you as well!

Man. Imagine trying to get a group of 7 to watch any of the dreg they got on TV now. Not a chance.

@@tsm688 Yes, I´d like to have so many likeminded friends!

It’s the first time I’ve ever watched an episode, but I want to see the rest now.

@@sar2908 I hope you did. If not: do it. It´s so worth it!

Jim Henson's studio produced Farscape. Brian Henson was the one who made Farscape what it was, as his father had passed away some years ago and he was in charge of the studio/company at that time.

Don't include Star Trek please. It utterly sickens me how little the overwhelming majority of people so, so, little understood that franchise and Gene Roddenberry's vision for it.

@@ivanj.conway9919 so do you approve the modern Star Trek shows are made to the original source respectful enough? I loved Star Wars and Star Trek when I was a kid. Early 20s I found my self couldnt enjoy the modern versions of them 🤷‍♂️ they were just ok, and sometimes literally annoying to me 🤦‍♂️ now I can’t watch any Disney’s Star Wars. Netflix Star Trek was interesting and had great cgi with some interesting stories, but didn’t last longer after a couple of seasons. I mean their pick for main characters were not likable even annoying time to time. Same with the jj Abrahams Star Trek movies🤦‍♂️ None of the new versions of old franchises ended up good! Even alien couldn’t save itself in its own creators hands! I lost my trust with the modern movie makers. So I don’t really give a dime for any new remake. I literally try to stay away from them, end up seeing them and disappointed everytime 🤦‍♂️ it’s a vicious cycle! We need new stories!

@@ivanj.conway9919 like what? Add warp nacelles to the flying saucer and make it mandatory for fed ships?

@@nagash303 : What are you even, trying to say here? The vision Gene Roddenberry had was how the future world COULD, be if humanity went down a certain path. Not complicated at all, for anyone to catch on to if they were the least bet deep thinking and insightful, at all.

@@ivanj.conway9919 I was complaining about how little info conway gives about why Roddenberry is misunderstood.. next to none.
