Farscape
 

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!"

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.

You don't have Margaritas with Italian.

I got it on DVD a long time ago

never opened it though

Farscape was absolutely bonkers. Loved it.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

Otherwise, we should watch something together. :kiss:

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.

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.

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.

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

How would that be different from now?

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

You know, when I'm busy raping him.

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

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

Though I can't remember for sure.

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

I never got said invite.

Hmmm...

I blame the Jews.

I blame jesus.

I blame global warming.

None of which are real.

Nice set-up, eh?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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).

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

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.
