I watched the Farscape premiere. The first five minutes or so were really bad. But then there were spaceships and aliens, so that was better. Even though I couldn't understand what the hell was going on half the time. It ended up being all right. I liked that he used his slingshot theory at the end. I know I'm not to expect greatness for many episodes yet, so I will sit tight.

I like the blue chick (whose name is apparently Zhaan), and I hate Liono (whose name is apparently D'argo). He's too I AM A MIGHTY WARRIOR OMG. I like Pilot, and Rygel is eh but has the potential to be good. Aeryn has a nice voice. I never knew about the thing being a prison ship and Aeryn being a Peacekeeper and all that. Sets up an interesting dynamic.

Second episode this Saturday.

PC, it gets better and better, I promise.

I believe you. It gets the pilot pass, for sure.

When was this made? Holy crap, 1999? It looks a lot older than that.

Oh, and I hate the music! Gah. Bear McCreary has spoiled me.

The music also gets better. But, I actually liked the original theme.

97, actually, I think

Really? IMDb says 1999-2003.

Which is, whoa, my time at Rice!

Yeah, but there was... eh, never mind.

IMDB is not to be relied upon. But, you know, I've been wrong before.

P-C - you are just starting? Cool. I remember that feeling. I'm not sure I could have watched "Farscape" on Sci-fi the way it was shown. I feel like I got a much more intense experience finishing the whole series over a period of 4-5 months the summer before the miniseries came out.

"... wow, um... at least you're machine-washable?"

Now I have this whole sequence in my mind of filthy from battle Puppet Angel rolling his eyes and dragging himself into a laundry room, starting the machine, adding soap, and grumpily stepping into the machine with a long, suffering sigh.

Farscape premiered in March, 1999. I'm sure it was in production in 1998, but 1997 seems early.
