Actually, Farscape managed to hang on to a pretty good arc/standalone balance right up to the end, I think.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Pretty much, more so than Angel, I think. But the characters remember, and the characterization evolves over time (unlike, for instance, Stargate *g*).

Hey! Daniel's hair is much shorter than it used to be.

Thank god, or I'd never know what season it was.
... actually, even that doesn't help that much, just gives me a rough estimate of "early" or "late". ::shrugs::
Clearly the makeup & costuming people need to learn the fun of changing hairstyles to match the character's emotional states, like on Farscape. S2 Crazy!Hair, S4 Glamour Eyebrows, and so forth.

Yuh-huh. And Jack's is much grayer. They totally evolve. Sheesh.

Hey -- *that's* why Aeryn was an assassin -- she wanted to get revenge on the fool who got all day-spa on her eyebrows!

And Jack had that really hot period, S3-5!
To be fair, there has been some character development, particularly when it comes to Daniel. (Jack too, but as Jack's character development is at least somewhat tied to a decrease in IQ, I try to ignore it as much as possible.)

Yes! Which CJ must have been incredibly grateful for.

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