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.
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.
ooh, temptation beckons like a saucy buxom wench
Hee! The London News cuts Prince Harry into quivering shreds. (What is the London News? A tabloid? A political sheet?)
Prince Harry is sensationally stupid. Seriously, the lad is practically retarded, so it’s appropriate to cut him some slack. It’s a small miracle every time he finds his mouth with his cigarette, so the fact that he would put on a Nazi armband and not think – at any point – that this might possibly be a really really wrong thing to do, is perfectly understandable.
No, it (it being the London News Review, btw) is a magazine which grew out of the (awesome) Friday Thing, which was a weekly email sent by a bunch of journos in London. It was the '00s version of Private Eye back when the Eye was acerbic, funny, antiestablishment and essential (ie 1965). I've yet to meet anyone who actually buys the LNR, but they're good people.
I'd just like to say that Carnivale keeps on getting better and better.
We just watched eps 4 and 5 last night. Dark stuff. And damn, it all looks so good. Who knew dust storms could look that good?
I loved the first season of
Carnivale,
but I didn't feel that anything had really been achieved by the end of it. It was almost as if the entire season was the pilot. An astonishingly good pilot, yes, but I'd occassionally like something to actually
happen.
Edited because it just occured to me to check when the new series was starting over here, and apparently it started last night. Arse. I may have to engage in some morally dubious downloading.
