Yes Lishalla played by Natalie Mendoza was seriously hot and if I had been Crichton I would have stuck with original idea of pissing off Rygel and D'Argo and staying on Acquarra.

I agree there are worse episodes, I was just going on the reviews I had read on various Farscape fan sites. I actually felt that this was quite a pivotal episode in Series 1 as D'Argo seems to at last accept Crichton as a fellow crew member rather the grudging relationship that began to ease a little after 'Til The Blood Runs Clear.

I really need to go back and start at the premier again but I would need to miss DNA Mad Scientist and That Old Black Magic as they are far too annoying to watch again.

I recently started a fresh re-watch and the next two episodes I have to watch are "that old black magic" and "DNA mad scientist". Needless to say I'm not in a major hurry see them again although I will.

These are two episodes I felt pushed the limits of credibility even for Farscape.
Many of the episodes are as much mystical as they are pure Sci-Fi especially when Zhaan and Stark have major roles, but I just hated Maldis and his alleged ability to feed of fear. Transporting Crais to his planet from the Command Carrier is something you'd expect from some crap sixties B Movie. It does show however that Zhaan is not the sort of vegetable you want to mess with.
DNA Mad Scientist is just rubbish.

Yay, a Farscape thread.

I didn't mind DNA Mad Scientist much. However, I hate That Old Black Magic. Just plain awful.

I don't mind either of those two episodes. Sure they were a bit more B-movieish but more than almost every other sci-fi show, Farscape offered variety and usually at a high quality.

Just finished re-watching season 3, absolutely brilliant last couple of episodes. Probably the tightest and best season of the lot (still have to watch season 4 of course!)

Season 3 was the best. The finale was excellent. It was only bettered by the season finale.

Shoorly you don't mean Trek OS?
DS9, TNG, Voyager or Enterprise perhaps, but James T Kirk and co are up there with telly immortals.

Actually Ds9 is the only Trek series I rate as any good. Sorry I couldn't care less about kirk & co, I liked some of the TNG movies especially First contact but generally trek is bland, too straight laced & overated. I respect the OS but it's not aged well & not is to my tastes.

I LOVE BABYLON 5, FARSCAPE, FIREFLY, SPACE: ABOVE & BEYOND, BSG (2004) & THE X FILES

Farscape is great SciFi series - probably best in ages. I watched Won't Gett Fooled Again the other day and it is amazing episode, which I had only seen sadly cut version long time bavk on BBC2 before. Truly amazing story although it does help some when you have idea what is gooing on.

Just finished watching episode Vitas Mortis in Season 2 last night. Which was really good by the way, but did anyone notice that D'argo's skin was much darker than in Season 1? The only explanation other than a mistake by the make up guys is that he must have been tanned by the sun when Crichton and D'argo were floating in space at the end of Season 1.

Anyone else care to add any comment?

I finished watching them all about two months back. Great stuff! S1 is definitely the weakest while season 3 would probably be my favourite. Peacekeeper Wars is great stuff too!

Season 3 is the best. The best.

Dargo looked darker in S2. But the make up was so much better!

I'm in the middle of watching S3 again.

You'll notice on most scifi the makeup evolves from season to season. I expect that's what you picked up on Mucky muck man.

I also rate S3 as my fave farscape series. I just finished S2, Fantastic concluding episodes! ....aeryn

Just watched episode 'The way we weren't' and I have to say it is one of the best episodes I seen so far, great episode explaining the back story of Aeryn Sun, Pilot & Moya....fantastic.

Just finished watching Season 2. The last 4 episodes were extremely entertaining with a fantastic cliffhanger for Season 3!

Can't wait to get started on S3 now, this is where I watched it from when it was on tv!

Farscape season 1 will start airing on FX channel from Wednesday 21st April and they will be coming every weekday at 6pm.

I'm interested in watching this show as I remember it made Empire's list of top 50 shows (first time I found out about it) but will be Sky+ing all the episodes and try and watch them in one go over a weekend as some have said the beginning of season 1 might be slightly hard to get into.

Cheers for the info. I remember trying to watch Farscape when it first arrived on BBC2 but I was too young to fully enjoy it I think.

Recently I've been trying to get it on dvd but it seems to be stupidly expensive everywhere I look.

Sky+ing this for sure.

Was tempted to give this a go but dont think I have the time or space on my sky + to keep up with a daily show. Too many great shows! God bless TV.

Anyhoo, may have to go the boxset route instead as I have heard good things, that its well worth getting into and a little different than the likes of B5, star treks and so on which on the surface it looks somewhat similar to.
