Farscape is very different from the late, lamented Firefly, but it's nonetheless a worthy complement to the Joss Whedon canon.
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'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.

Oh, I don't think Rygel is *deep,* by any means. I just get a kick out of him, though I *do* totally see how he's hateable.

All is well that ends in pizza.
That's Rygel's facade, really. We find out later that it's his coping mechanism.
