Now on the other side of the television world is the #4 greatest cult television show ever. It also happens to be my personal pick as the best frelling show ever. Yes, it’s Farscape.
I love this show. It was funny, smart, romantic, outrageous, daring, serious and sci-fi. Often all in the same episode. There really is no program I can name that it can be compared to, nor is its equal. Of course I’m a full on fan. And yes I know the show was cancelled a while ago so don’t get your mivonks twisted.
Still, the best program to ever be on the Sci-Fi Channel (which I still dislike overall) is a hardy beast. Kind of like a frellin’ dentic. Don’t ask and never fry one up.
Don’t be dismayed at the fact that the writer’s strike delayed the webisodes. They are still on track to air this year. And I advise all the fans to check it out. We can get this television show back on the air.
The only thing that upsets me, is the fact that the show will still be tied to the Sci-Fi Channel. You know, the people that ignored some 2 million emails, phone calls, and letters demanding the network live up to their promise to the viewers that keep it alive. A bunch of fahrbot drannits. The management of that network is the biggest bunch of liars this side of D.C. – in my humble opinion.
Now here is some news that may entice old fans. The webisodes are said to contain scenes with D’Argo Sun-Crichton. I have to believe that that kid is going to be quite the bad ass. Imagine walking into a bar and chatting up a woman (or female of whatever species) and mentioning that you are the son of the guy who started and ended the war between the Scarran and Peacekeeper Empires. Add to that that your uncle is the dominar of 600 billion Hynerians. I think she might be impressed.
Of course that same kid would have quite a few old enemies of his father (Human), mother (Sebacean), uncles (Luxan, Hynerian, and Stykeran/Banik) and aunts (Delvian and Nebari), hunting him for revenge. Which combined might equal about a galaxy or so. Then again his back up includes his half-sister who rules an empire of her own. What a family.
If none of this makes sense, don’t worry. You’ll hear all about it once the webisodes, and hopefully the television show itself, hits the internet. But if you want to really know more, and you should unless you are a tralk, you can check out this nifty resource that I found.

As for me I just want a copy of the RPG game to bide me over til the webisodes start.
