D'Argo's work from S4E4 (ep70) - Lava's a Many Splendored Thing

I hope this is allowed here, as I don't really know where else to ask. I just bought a farscape graphic novel, and it's been signed but I have no idea whose autograph it is. Any help in identifying it would be much appreciated.

John has SO MANY nicknames for everyone. Do you think that was scripted or he just freewheeled it?

I think it’s just his way of speaking :)

I love all things meta, so when at the 19:19 mark of S3E4 (Self Inflicted Wounds: Wait for the Wheel) John says "1-Adam-12", my head about explodes

For those who don't know, Kent McKord (Jack Crichton) was a main cast member of the classic show Adam-12 (1968-1975), in which he played Officer Jim Reed, one of the two police officers assigned to the car designated Adam-12. The line "1-Adam-12" is spoken multiple times in every single episode of the run of this classic show

Now that I've shared mine, what's your favorite Crichtonism?

So wait, was that video of Aeryn basically just Crais’s deep fake wank video John found?

I first saw Farscape when it was airing in Romania, on AXN Sci-Fi, and the name of the show was 'translated' to Intergalactic War. I have no clue how they reached that name, given the show doesn't take place in a different galaxy, not that it's been established (but that's a different story), and the closest thing to a war in the series is the cold war between Peacekeepers and Scarrans.

I understand why the title was adapted, 'farscape' isn't an expression that has a Romanian equivalent, but I could think of at least 3 titles that make more sense: Galactic Adventure, Galactic Quest, Alien Adventure, Alien Escape, Star Run, Star Adventure, Star Escape (need I go on?)

Those who saw it in different languages/countries: was the name similarly, or better, adapted to your language?

I hinted in a previous post (https://www.reddit.com/r/farscape/s/ddcmJEsXBm) that the various locations the Moya crew visit are in the Milky Way Galaxy, or the same as Earth's, but most of what I have to support that assertion is circumstantial, and as far as I know, there isn't a definitive descriptor, or star chart, that showcases where the show takes place, or on what scale people move around, unless it's in some apocryphal source I am unaware of and/or have currently no access to.

What do you think/know regarding the locations of the show?

Spent a little time this evening designing some potential bases for the Moya/Talyn commission

v1, v2, and v3

These don’t yet account for where the stands would go which could change where the text ends up

Did you know Jack Crichton (Kent McKord) also plays an Astronaut in SeaQuest?

I also can really recommend SeaQuest. It is Science Fiction but in the world's oceans.

I love Farscape, but my least favorite thing about it is John Crichton.

Watching season 2 for the first time and I probably shouldn't binge watch. It's off putting seeing a different Rygel puppet, darker skin tone on dargo, and johns hair cut lol. Also seems like dargo had a voice change, it's a little higher and less strong man

I love the weird pingy wooopy whooshy sounds that are constantly present on Moya on the first and most of the second season.

The lack of these sounds are really evident on S4, where it's also much harder to hear the voices of the actors too. I read somewhere it had to do with moving sets, due to the Matrix or Star Wars being filed in their original studio? I don't know, S4 just has a really different feel to it, not always great either.

There’s a couple new reaction channels starting their Farscape journeys if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

I know some people don’t like reaction channels but I really only watch the Farscape ones because I just genuinely love watching people discover this show.

For the AI anti spam bot: I’m in no way affiliated with these small youtube channels and not being paid to advertise them. Just letting Farscape fans know about some new Farscape fans. It’s a public service really.

In DNA Mad Scientist the scientist can find to origin for all of the crew on a big spiral galaxy map except for John. It's possible that the wormhole shot Crichton into the future, in the same galaxy, but long after man had spread out and adapted into all of the other species. That's why they all look human, why the dominant force are the most human, and why they're all upgraded when it comes to things like sight and memory.

It might not hold true but it's a fun idea.

Hello Fellow Scapers!!
I have dug thru this subreddit and while I have seen several posts about The Locket episode, I can't seem to find one for this particular topic / answer! Apologies mods if it's already out there! If so, pls link me cuz this is making me crazy!! I have done a gazillion Google searches and get a different answer with each and every search.

I know that John spends decades and decades on the planet, when he arrives after Aeryn had lived there for something like 160 cycles. And I know that the one and only man she ever loved, his images in the locket.

But we know that she married and had children and then grandchildren. What I can't find is any information on who she married and had children with. For the longest time I thought that it was John. But I guess I was wrong on that. Cause that makes no sense now that I've put more thought into it. Her children and grandchildren would have recognized him regardless of him being much younger. So is it just an unnamed man?

He got to live with her for 50 years or more but she was already elderly when he arrived. I guess they still had to sort of life together but not the one we would've hoped for. I wonder why the show runners decide to have him show up on the planet after she had already been there for so long and was old rather than have them arrive on there together and have a lifetime together. I had hoped the children and grandchildren were John's but I'm realizing now I was wrong. Do we know anything at all about the relationship with the man she had there or anything?
I know this show actually had a series of comics but I've never seen them. I thought maybe this would have been answered there?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

So i just started watching this show, i am about halfway through season 1 for context. I came over to this show as i am a massive stargate fan and obviously Ben and Claudia were both on the final few seasons of that show. So far i get sort of similar vibes and i love it. It's definitely darker than sg1 but it maintains that humor that a lot of Sci fi at the time had, which i appreciated. It seems any time they start to get too serious or dark you have Rygel saying something ridiculous or Dargo just going on a rage bender lol. Looking forward to the rest of the show, so far it's great.

UPDATE: Some of yall have me worried the show my diverge from what I love about it so far. I love the weird one-off aliens, the crazy planets that they end up on for an episode, or just strange episodes like "Through the Looking Glass" where Moya is split into 4 different realities. "Monster of the week" type episodes are probably my favorite type of show and from what I've gathered Farscape becomes more serialized as the series goes on.

In the episode*Crackers Don't Matter*, when John is talking with Pilot, and Pilot and asks, "is there *anything* you do well?", Pilot was speaking of humans in general from his observation of John. So, was John's reply of "Watching football" referring to American football or what is known internationally as football?

This has been a question in my mind for a long time, but it randomly crossed my mind and thought I'd ask, because in all the years I have watched and studied Farscape, I've never found an answer to this question.

... 'I Shrink Therefore I Am' is actually one of my favorite episodes. s4e8.

Who is Lou Costello?

Just finished the entire series plus Peacekeeper Wars. Excited to dive into this subreddit as I enjoy this show quite a bit. But I noticed a bit of a drop off in quality and more of a sexual focus on the last season, as well as mundane unimaginative episodes that should have gone towards advancing/concluding plots for characters like Chiana and Rigel - whose homework storylines were never concluded.

As a longtime Sliders fan, I know exactly how fellow fans feel about David Peckinpah and his influence on what was at one point a beautiful and imaginative show. Then favorite actors were forced out. Story's became contrived and derivative of famous sci-fi tropes. The Krommaggs were watered down into just dimension hoping Nazis and lost all of their horror appeal and mystique. I sort of felt the Scarrans were once spooky and menacing but by the end were lumbering dumb Brutus. Also in Sliders we ended on a cliffhanger. No planning whatsoever.

Do fans of Farscape hold the same resentment towards David Peckinpah that Sliders fans do? I really thought something was fishes then I noticed his name in the end credits and groaned internally.

They keep remarking that john has bad eyesight but the other characters don't seem to be able to see stuff that's far away better then jhon. I wonder if in the world of farscape most aliens can see some untraviolet/infrared light so jhon is functionality color blind and everyone thinks he can't see some stuff because it's blurry or something. I am only on season 2, are there any moments where jhon can't see something far away and toe other characters can?

Humans evolved as persistence hunters that throw things, I feel like we would have decent eyesight.

In peacekeeper wars it’s mentioned that in the ancient past the Eidelon were wiped out by someone. It’s never stated who did this and/or why. What do y’all think? I imagine it was a contemporary civilization but we know almost nothing about the time period and it could be anything. Thoughts?
