Farscape: how so awesome?
Feb. 19th, 2012 12:08 pmLook, I now have a pretty Moya icon! *points*
Fair warning, this journal will contain a lot of Farscape squee in the next time. This show! I love it. I have found the best way to watch it is with my big plush monkey: first because I forgot to turn on the heating in the room, and then because it's great to have something to squeeze every five minutes.
I'm surprised because I heard a lot about Firefly and how it's the best SF show ever, but I like Farscape far better and I almost never heard of it. Firefly had good worldbuilding and some great characters, but Farscape not only has great characters, it also has good storytelling. Firefly had very few episodes I unconditionally enjoyed (I can only think of "Ariel", and "Out of Gas" and "War Stories" were also good), but Farscape constantly has episodes that keep me on the edge of my seat because they're so exciting, have good character stuff and some sweet and some funny bits, and nothing obviously stupid that throws me out of my enjoyment.
Some thoughts about what I've seen so far:
