Farscape

[Fignuts]

Just started watching the second season. Pretty good if you enjoy cheesy sci fi stuff. Anyone else watch this.

"KILL HER! And then we'll have pizza and margarita shooters!"

[Jura]

Didn't have Sci-Fi so I didn't catch it until later seasons when they finally put Sci-Fi on cable TV. I still managed to catch Stargate though since they aired on other networks. Didn't know what was going on most of the time but tried to watch towards the end of the show and I liked the mini movie/series/whatever that wrapped up things.

It kind of reminded me of The Lexx which is what made me become interested in it.

[Shadow]

You don't have Margaritas with Italian.

[Skippord]

I got it on DVD a long time ago

never opened it though

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Farscape was absolutely bonkers. Loved it.

I'd like to get the complete series on DVD, but the box sets are mad expensive.

[The Destroyer]

I was put off getting the DVDs for a long while, but Amazon had them cheap a while back so I snapped them up. Really is an excellent show.

I think it's recently had a R1 re-release, so it might be worth looking for them that way if you can play R1 DVDs.

[Poit]

Farscape was an awesome show, but it gets kinda meh later on in the series.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I just noticed it on my Netflix and am watching it now. Been having a bit of a marathon.

[The Destroyer]

Good choice. I never did quite get my DVD marathon finished, got distracted towards the end of Season 2. I'll finish it someday.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Do you have netflix? Maybe we should have an xbox live party and watch it together....together.

[Kane Knight]

I just noticed it on my Netflix and am watching it now. Been having a bit of a marathon.

I got the DVD set last month because of the sale on Amazon. Love the show.

Hate the fact that the volume drops somewhere in season 2 on the Netflix transfer.

Didn't the remove the feature?

[Kane Knight]

Otherwise, we should watch something together. :kiss:

[Swiss Ultimate]

I will look and see, that's horrible if they removed it. Watching bad movies and making fun of them is a tradition in my house.

[Swiss Ultimate]

The removed it back in December, however, we can still chat while we watch Netflix via Xbox. Looks like you can't have your avatar there with you though which is frankly fine by me. I hate xbox avatars.

[Kane Knight]

So it's one on one chat, then?

I'm fine with no avatars, because that was stupid as fuck. But parties were awesome. Chatting with friends who have moved to Maine and Canadia while watching movies is fucking fun.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Just start sitting in front of your xbox with your mic on...

[Kane Knight]

How would that be different from now?

[Kane Knight]

Fun fact: Swiss doesn't know what my voice sounds like because I always use one of those voice modulators like in Scream.

[Kane Knight]

You know, when I'm busy raping him.

[Swiss Ultimate]

How would that be different from now?

Says the guy who didn't go on xbox live last night...

[Kane Knight]

I'm pretty sure I was on Live last night.

Though I can't remember for sure.

[Swiss Ultimate]

When I went on it said you hadn't been on for about two hours. I sent you a chat invite though.

[Kane Knight]

I never got said invite.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Hmmm...

[Kane Knight]

I blame the Jews.

[Shadow]

I blame jesus.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I blame global warming.

[Kane Knight]

I blame the Jews.

I blame jesus.

I blame global warming.

None of which are real.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Nice set-up, eh?

[Kane Knight]

Hard to believe we're not all the same person.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

You know, I'm currently working my way through a list of shows I feel like I should have seen/I just generally want to see, and I was gonna get a couple more sci-fi shows watched so I was thinking of giving this and Babylong 5*. Any reccomendations on which I should go for first or anything?

Like I said I've got a bit of a list of shows to go through but I'll put these on there.

* typo, but I left it in there for the porn parody effect.

[Kane Knight]

Bab 5 is awesome. I don't think it matters which you do first.

[The Destroyer]

I rate Farscape over Babylon 5, personally. But give either a go, both good.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I never gave Babylon 5 a chance. Though, didn't the show start out as movies or something?

[Kane Knight]

There are several movies, but it started with a pilot that ran right into the regular series.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I think I'd start with that one, since going backwards with CGI and special effects might be jarring.

[Kane Knight]

I think I'd start with that one, since going backwards with CGI and special effects might be jarring.

It's been a while since I watched the show, but I don't think the CG evolved much over the course of the series.

I personally think "In the Beginning" is a good starting point, but it ruins a lot of suspense of the series. It's kind of like watching the Star Wars prequels before Empire, since you already know what Luke doesn't. It also creates some continuity issues, though mostly minor.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I bought the Farscape complete boxset at the start of March and finished watching the Peacekeeper Wars last night. I had forgotten how great it was, especially season 3, which was immense. I had also forgotten about Sikozu (red-headed pocket rocket scrumptiousness).

[Swiss Ultimate]

So great. One day I'll buy the boxset just because.

[Shadow]

I think Farscape really came into it's own once Criton was allowed to have a gun. I don't know what it was but when he got that gun, things changed and the cast really came together.

Also didn't help that Chiana was around and damn I would've nailed that to the fucking wall.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Alas, she is nowhere near as hot without the makeup.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

So I've been watching lately. Almost finished the first season, probably finish it off tonight. Really enjoying it, ridiculously fun show. I don't know why I still haven't learned to stay away from Wikipedia though cause I've just spoiled myself of a major death in the show :(

That now makes it Farscape, The Sopranos, The Wire and Battlestar Galactica for which I've spoiled parts for myself by just wanting to check something minor. Should probably just make notes of stuff I want to check and leave it all til the end of a series or something.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Season 3 is immense, yo! Avanti on the viewage, Iggy, so you can enjoy that goodness.

I think I might re-watch seasons 9 and 10 of Stargate Sg1 to get my Ben Browder/Claudia Black fix; way to early for me to wach Farscape through again.

[The Destroyer]

It definitely takes a bit of time to get going. Stick with it.

[Taker it Easy]

One day I will finish watching this show! I enjoy it a good deal but it has not yet made me what to steam roll through it. Or even serious about finishing it. But I like it.

Chiana sooooo hot.

Gotta say that I have always compared Lexx and Farscape and that Lexx has a lead.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Just finished the second season and gonna start the third in a bit. Still enjoying it but that Stark guy is one of the worst characters and actors I've watched in a tv show.

[The Destroyer]

You'll be glad to hear that it appears he's barely worked since Farscape.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I'd be more glad to hear he wasn't in this for much longer really, but as he's on the opening credits for season 3 I can't see him dying anytime soon, unfortunately.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Lol Crichton just gave a Stone Cold style "Can I get a hell yeah?" along with added crowd participation. Brilliant.

I only noticed it the other day but the actor who plays Stark was one of the agents in The Matrix.

Anyways, you have another character in the form of Jool coming up, whom is even more annoying than Stark.

[The Destroyer]

I really didn't like Jool.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Zhaan just died, which is okay because she's been annoying for a good while now, plus Jothee's gone too so that's good. Just need to kill of Stark now and it's all gravy. And yeah that redhead bint Jool has only been in like an episode and a half and she's already annoying, she can bugger off too.

[The Destroyer]

OMG SPOILERS

[Corporate CockSnogger]

My bad, should wait the customary 12 years after an episode is aired before mentioning spoilers. Sorry Baird :'(

[The Destroyer]

And you could only hold out for 11.

[Kane Knight]

You guys are gonna be so pissed to find out Farscape was cancelled, then.

Whoops.

[Shadow]

It's ok they made a TV movie

That killed off D'Argo.

[Kane Knight]

ZOMG WHAT???

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Just got the last ep of season 3 to watch, I'll probably throw it on either tonight or tomorrow morning.

No way is Jool more annoying than Stark. Other than her having the whole spoilt princess thing going on she hasn't really been that bad. I genuinely can't remember a more annoying character/worse actor than Stark on a tv show.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

MY SIDE, YOUR SIDE! MY SIDE, YOUR SIDE! MY SIDE, YOUR SIDE! MY SIDE, YOUR SIDE! MY SIDE, YOUR SIDE! MY SIDE, YOUR SIDE! MY SIDE, YOUR SIDE!

Stark was bad acting. Jool was just bad.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Heyo this new redhead bird in season 4 is a little fitty.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I would do devilish things to Sikozu.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

In all seriousness, though, I would marry Raelee Hill in a heat beat.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Just finished it off. Great series, a lot of fun to watch and Crichton might be the most likeable main character in a series I've watched.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I now charge you with the task of watching all 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1, followed by the 5 seasons of Stargate Atlantis.

Sally forth!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

That sounds a bit much, especially as I've already got a fairly long list of shows to watch. Up next for me is to try and catch up with Fringe before the final season starts in about 4 weeks. I've only seen up to about halfway through season 2 but even some of that I can't remember properly so I'm going from the beginning.

[The Destroyer]

Just skip to Season 9 and 10 for Ben Browder.
