To each there own.


It could be timing, too. Back in the late 90's early 00's there wasn't anything like this out. The last 10 years of TV have changed A LOT.

This.

Purely from a budgetary aspect, I don't know if BSG even gets made without Farscape. This show WAS SciFi's original programming. Without Farscape, it would have been the Wrestling and Reruns Channel.

Landing Stargate after Showtime didn't renew was also a huge win.

I never watched it on Showtime and when it moved to Sci-Fi I got hooked...

True. I think that's about the same time they picked up the last couple seasons of Sliders, never got into it though. That was a few years after Farscape's first season though I think. The only other thing they had original at the time was First Wave. I think I only watched that for Traci Lords :)

Didn't they come out with the invisible man around that time, that was pretty good as well. I remember when Friday night was scifi night. I think it is part of the reason that Firefly didn't do as well, some idiot put it up against the locked in stargate lineup.

Oh god, I tried this a year ago. The late 90's CG and cable acting was worse than I remember.

I am looking forward to the movie.
It's better than Babylon 5's CG and acting.

Oh yeah, that Friday night lineup in the early 00's was fantastic.

They also had some really weird $3it like Lexx. That was just....bizarre.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I made it through the first season of that. I'm not sure what drugs those writers were on, but that show alone should keep them illegal.

I thought it was better than Babylon 5 in every conceivable way aside from length of series. And talk about a show that hasn't held up well. B5 looked awesome at the time, but my kindle probably has more power than the computers that animated that show 20 years ago. It's really hard to watch now, after all the advances in CG. Farscape has the advantage there in that it used so many more practical effects.

It's been probably 4 years now, but I did somewhat recently watch Farscape beginning to end and I enjoyed it every bit as much as I did the first time. While there are some episodes that make me cringe with their bizarre silliness they really did some fantastic things on that series.

Lexx was fantastic, but that was Showtime I believe. Just a rerun, edited for content program for SciFi.

Jeremiah Crichton was a tremendous pile of shit.

Taking the Stone was worse.
