Farscape was recommended to me by the same friend who got me hooked on Buffy. She's never steered me wrong. I've got all the Farscape on my Netflix queue, but it's competing with Queer as Folk.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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.

Heh, Farscape started out competing in my queue but quickly pushed the others out of the way. I confess, though, that I really adored the pilot and its promise, so the hooking happened early. That, along with all the encouragement pimping I got here once I started, convinced me that the permanent emotional hook lay ahead. Um, yeah. That was true. Your friend is wise, Nonian.
And it's more than just a one note hook, I should add. So. Much. More.

Is scifi playing the Farscape episodes in order?

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
That's my understanding, yeah. *looks around for Suela*

They skipped "A Bug's Life" -- went straight from "Through the Looking Glass" to "Nerve".

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Wow, that makes no sense at all. I mean, you can skip TTLG, but A Bug's Life and Nerve are in a lot of ways a two-parter -- the one follows directly on the other timewise and logicwise. Swift move, SciFi!

A Bug's Life is the first one where we have Crichton pretending to be a Peacekeeper, right?
I think that they showed it yesterday.

I think so. In the leather coat and acting all arrogant and getting into a testosterone fest with Visiting Peacekeeper Hottie. If this is the episode I think it is, I have fond memories of it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I think "Bug's Life" is the one where Moya gets boarded by a bunch of asshat (but hot!) Peacekeepers with some cargo that turns out to be a paranoia parasite or some such. Aeryn gets seriously wounded at the end of that, I think, and then in "Nerve" Crichton gets to don Peacekeeper leather fetish gear and for some cracked reason starts speaking in a bad British accent, which makes no goddamned sense because hello? Translator microbes? But Crichton looks smokin' hot in leather for which I can forgive a lot.
