don't be dull, be fannish

I felt like watching sci-fi again! And out of the pile of unwatched DVDs, I pulled out Farscape. I've never actually seen the show in its entirety. I saw bits and pieces on SAT1 back when, but never more than a handful of episodes.

I love the main music theme. It's fantastic! It feels like a mix of classical music and tribal rhytms. Very original.

I also love the female characters in this show, both Aeryn and Zhaan. I was really surprised when Zhaan pulled this:



Her body looks so androgynous. I think it's really awesome. You know, that they didn't choose a busty female to show around. Very original. And she's gorgeous. And they both, Aeryn and Zhaan, kick major ass!

And it's awesome that Crichton is a thinker, not a fighter! Nice change of dynamics from the usual cliché...

The only character that really gets on my nerves is Rygel. Eh...

In case you're wondering what other space faring sci-fi shows I own on DVD: Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica (the old one), Babylon 5, Star Trek: Enterprise. I also plan to buy Star Trek: Voyager (once Amazon UK drops the price!) because I just love Chakotay!

-- Yet ANOTHER delay with the SGA and SG-1 tie-ins? *sigh* Not that I don't have anything else to read but considering the books have been pre-paid for months now, I don't think it's too much to ask to have them actually delivered, right?

-- I succumbed and ordered The Definitive Collection of Farscape and Peacekeeper Wars. Amazon UK has it for just 45Ł!

-- Also, I can't believe I'm saying this, I decided to give Doctor Who one very last chance, starting with S5 and the new doctor and Amy Ponds. Seriously, if this "reboot" can't get me interested, the show's obviously a lost cause for me *hands*

As TVShowsonDVD.com posted:

As sci-fi television classic Farscape marks its 10th anniversary, A&E Home Entertainment and the Jim Henson Company partner on a re-launch of the DVD franchise.

The re-packaged line, slated for November 2009, includes the first-ever complete series megaset featuring all four out-of-this world seasons!

I think I might buy this one once it comes out. I caught an ep here and there when SAT1 was airing it a few years ago and it looked interesting.

And that reminds me, I need a Ben Browder icon!
