not many television show appeal to quite a many different kind of fan like farscape do . i know youngster and 30/40 plus year old while fan both male and female in as many different country a you can think of that just adore this t. v miniseries . it have element that can be find in almost every other show on t. v and character drive drama that could be from an australian soap opera while yet in the same episode it have science fact and fiction that would give even the hardy trekkie a run for his money in the brainbender stake . wormhole theory and time travel in true equational form . magnificent . it embrace culture from all over the map a the possibility be endless have multiple star and therefore thousand of planet to choose from . with such a broad scope while it would be expect that nothing would be able to keep up the illusion for long and but here be where farscape really come into it own element . it succeed where all others have fail and especially the like of star trek ( a universe with practically zero kaos element . ) they run out of idea pretty quickly plus keep rehash them . over the course of 4 season they manage to keep the audience attention use good continuity and constant character evolution with multiple thread to every episode with unique personal touch to camera that be specific to certain character group within the whole . this structure allow for an extremely large area of subject matter a loyalty be forge and break in many way on many many issue . i happen to see the pilot ( premiere ) in passing and just have to keep tuning in after that to see if crichton would ever get the girl and after see them all on television i be delight to see them available on dvd and i have to admit that it be the only thing that keep me sane whilst i have to do a 12 hour night shift and develop chronic insomnia . farscape be the only thing to get me through those extremely long night . do yourself a favour while watch the pilot and see what i mean . farscape comet .
