I just saw that advert!
I'm wondering whether it's a good place for a person who's only heard of Farscape in the 'it's a thing other people talk about' sort of way to start watching it. The advert seems quite start-at-the-beginning-y, but I'm not sure if that's true of the mini-series itself.
Yeah, I never seriously watched Farscape either. When I did, I enjoyed it though. And SCI-FI were showing it everyday sometime last year, and I caught a lot of those repeats, including the last episode. So I'm excited, but also expecting a certain level of confusion. Farscape seems to delight in confusing me. And possibly you.
I'm sure someone, somewhere has written a recap of the series for novices. Anyone? Bueller?
While wonderful (in fact, I was psyched to see my copy of the DVD is on it's way), THE PEACEKEEPER WARS is very much not the way to start. So much of it is predicated on what went on in the four season before that it won't make any sense.
I think other 'Scapers would agree, but you might try posing the question in the "Box Set" thread (which is currently all about Startgate, but breaks out into Farscape conversation on occasion still). Best place to start the show is, well, first season, though it's a bit hit or miss until a bit after halfway through the season.
Our very own Consuela wrote one here, actually. Well, an introduction, anyway.
I hugely enjoyed both those primers Katie.
Vomit, indeed.

Hum. Start with the first of four, you say? You're probably right. (I won't be in Boxed Set for a while, because I'm trying to go unspoiled for Stargate while I use SkyOne's repeats to catch up. And I've saved my pennies for West Wing DVDs, to catch up with that. It... may be a while before I get to do Farscape the way it should be done. Unless SkyOne or SciFi is unexpectedly kind to me.)
'Suela's primer makes it sound good, though (despite the bodily fluids thing) and with good web resources I might manage to make half-sense of it. Hum. *considers*
I've just finished Season 3 of Farscape, and I agree, it's so arc-y that you really do need to watch from the beginning--it gets better and better as it goes, really (at least so far), but I was hooked from the start.
You've been warned about season 4, right Angus?
I'd just like to say that Carnivale keeps on getting better and better. Parts of the second night (hard to say what episode it was, since the ABC seem to be showing two a night) were a bit eh but then it got better as that night wore on and now I am absolutely loving every second of it. Can't wait for the second season to get made and for the 1st season DVDs to get a release over here. oh and I'm in love with moonlit
Can't wait for the second season to get made
The second season has already begun airing over here, so it's available for illicit consumption if you're into that sort of thing.
