    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Farscape


    frankzappayay — 10 years ago(January 06, 2016 02:21 PM)

    I read somewhere (lots of places) that this was a good sci fi show and an alternative to Trek or Battlestar or whatever, so I checked it out. Then I saw the cast full of Muppets and Fraggles and various 80's kids TV show fluffy characters Wtf?

        Oh my god, why did nobody tell us?
        I always thought, if people don't care for Farscap, fine. But the only reason not giving it a chance being "Muppetsin space", is just plain stupid.

          But it is Muppets in space. It also has terrible campy acting and boring dialogue.

              That was about as scary as Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

                  Im glad to chime in.If you dont like the show then fine. But dont come on this board trying to reduce Farscape to"Muppets in space". Just shut up and move on. Farscape was great in my opinon but think what you want. Dont bother watching Lexx either. You might get a headache.

                        Star Wars is a kids film too. So is ET, and The Goonies.

                          More like family films. They appeal to all ages.

                            Well, then it should suit your tastes just fine since you're like a kid on a playground yelling "it is muppets in space" over and over again. We get it. You think it's muppets in space. And? What are we supposed to feel? Scared that you not viewing will result in it's cancellation? LoL
                            Farscape has a solid fanbase of some of the most intelligent people I've ever met. If you only knew half of what they've created or how generous they are. But you won't get it, and that's fine. But save us your boring chatter. Or, you know whatrant on little boy. It doesn't really doesn't matter. Your tastes are your own, and I won't degrade that. But you're being an beep about it, and that I'll call you that. I hope everyone ignores you like I plan to.
                            Ciao baby.

                              Scary, you say? The episode NERVE has someone who will frighten you, I daresay. He certainly scared my family.
                              Did someone tell you that FARSCAPE is horror? It is not so. FARSCAPE has more than one level of entertainment. Children only see the kiddie entertainment in the series. The adult humor is beyond their Ken and their Barbie, too. <-pun alert.
                              Adults usually comprehend the puns, references and sexual innuendos as well as the adult situations.wait, how old are you?
                              Bored now.

                                Because only an idiot would call this a kids' show.

                                  No no no You completely missed the revelation. It's not that Farscape is for kids, it's that the Muppets are actually aliens! Farscape was subtly exposing the Muppets for the aliens that they are and you just completely missed it.

                                    Muppets actually isnt problem, i mean you can have some aliens like that i presume so no problem in my opinion. The show had really great story, great acting, great atmosphere a lot of great things, but the BIG problem about this show was how it was stupidly and childishly made. Some episodes and scenes were actually so dumb and brainless that it was disgusting to watch. Like 2 man killing over 100 hundred specially trained and fully equipment soldiers who train all life for that. Or like Crais turning "good" that he betrays his peoples his command ship colleagues and killing them with no remorse and this actually is suppose to be good side because they are "evil", i mean it was brainless as beep. This good and bad things are just awful and brain hurting to watch, it had zero of realistic thing. My question is..is it so hard for today movie directors to produce realistic movies? They are obviously trained to produce this kind of craps and ruin something that could actually be masterpiece.

                                          "Cast full of muppets"? how does one "muppet" cast member (Rygel) turn into a cast full of them? Logic fail. I never saw this show as a kids show, especially considering all of the sexual situations and conversations in it. I'm not saying the show is adult themed by any means, but calling it a kids show because it has one muppet is a far stretch.
