well how can i categorise farscape without resort to gush superlative . ok and here go . the script be fantastic and with each episode offer so much entertainment and drama and humour and sheer watchability . the casting be perfect especially that of zhaan ( the blue lady ) play by virginia hey and each character have a depth that just isn not there on the star trek series . i think have an australian spin on the show make this for me and australia have be knock out quality film for year and farscape be no exception . i have only see the first four episode in uk order and they have a quality that make each 45 minute show ( in the uk ) stand out more like a film than a weekly tv series . the episode that really do it for me be i and et which turn the alien concept around where moya ( a living ship and even the spacecraft have a great character ) be force to land on a planet that have yet to make first contact and be surprisingly earth like and crichton meet a radio telescope operator and he be the little green man to them . grip stuff . in short the effect be great and the script be top quality and the main character ( not one of them really give any more importance than any other ) be interest and not always good and well just excellent . roll on the second season .
