Sumi, from SciFi.com's schedule, they're airing it back-to-back-to-back Sunday night -- 9 p.m., 11 p.m., and 1 a.m.

I love this, from the TeeVee.org article:

4. It's Buffy gone sci-fi. You don't have to be a fundamentalist Whedonite to enjoy Farscape, but Buffy and Angel fans will find a lot to enjoy here. A hero who's torn between ordinary life and an epic destiny. Smart, kickass women and fascinating antiheroes. Witty dialogue loaded with pop culture references. Characters who grow and change over time. Season-long story arcs with neck-snapping surprise twists. Farscape is very different from the late, lamented Firefly, but it's nonetheless a worthy complement to the Joss Whedon canon.

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

Heck, she did the same.

She beat them up, but she didn't throw them around.

I've always asserted that people who liked Buffy would like Farscape. Foolish are those who didn't believe me. *g*

I'm going to start all Farscape potentials somewhere in mid-season 1 (maybe The Flax or Durka Returns) because I almost lost interest in the show after watching the first 4 or 5 episodes. The grabbiness of the show didn't hit me until much later.

Also, I just finished The Way We Weren't and, just, wow. And I suspect that guy was who Aeryn dreamt about back in Rhapsody in Blue.

Yeah, that's a marvelous episode. I love it so much, and I love it that the show will have these entirely sympathetic characters make appalling decisions.

And the Pilot reveal at the end was almost a HSQ. I finally started to view Pilot as an interesting character. I hope Rygel reaches that level soon.

Heh. Rygel is one of those characters that I know I should hate, but I can't help myself -- I really dig him.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd have dug him a shallow grave were I in Crichton's or Aeryn's shoes. But I suppose he's entertaining at times.

Well, I'm only a smidgen into S2, but so far Rygel is more a cartoon than a character. He eats, he farts, he like shiny things. And apparently he can try and turn all his shipmates over to the PKs and all they give him is a guilt trip for it. So I'm not seeing the depth yet, but I'm betting it'll happen at some point.
