The shapeshifter had beady beady eyebrows, didn't she? God, I remember that show fondly, and thought she was the coolest thing ever.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm, I don't remember any of the episodes -- just the ads and that it seemed like the ship was huge and empty.
Well, the main set was a moon base, so it was living quarters, etc. The premise was that an accident on the base involving nuclear waste storage (which was one of the main things the base was designed for) had knocked the moon out of orbit and travelling into deep space.

Was beady eyebrows or a cheek thing? I can't remember, and, of course, now I must go find pictures.

Maya.
Fastest linker in the West, you are. And also right. I was conflating the eyebrows and the cheek swoop. She was mighty cool.

If I only had a brain...
I loved SPACE:1999 so much. I wanted to be Maya.

Oooh, my brother had a huge toy Eagle, and a watergun shaped like the stun guns, and a Space: 1999 boardgame. The last of which, at least, is probably still in my mom's basement.
I don't actually remember much of the show, but we wouldn't have gotten lots of crappy merchandise for just any old thing.
Well, okay, we would have. And probably did. Shut up.

I used to own a model of the moonbase.
