I've had ups and downs with Farscape (some of the more scatalogical humour just doesn't appeal to me), but when this show is on its game I just love it. 

Which is to say I loved Terra Firma.  Not as much as I loved the one where Aeryn holes up in the hotel room mourning one of the Johns, because that one is the best ever. 

I’ve been watching Farscape for a while now (up to season 4). What always gets me is how competent Crichton is. I know he’s the hero and thus if he were a useless git it wouldn’t be so interesting watching him fail endlessly, but still his competence burns from time to time. That’s in line with most SciFi: the human comes on board or lands on the planet, has a bit of culture shock and then teaches the aliens a valuable lesson about life/morals/individualism/capitalism/other things which only humans really understand. And that always annoys me a bit as I am not sure even if I had a totally screwed up society I’d be all happy with some bloke coming in from outside and saying ‘oh if you only let people be freeee to consume/have sex/sell things/paint/dance the conga/vote in an electoral system that looks just like ours you’d all be so much better. I bet I’d sacrifice him to my god and go back to living in my repressive society.

So, supposing someone wanted an icon of blue priestess or Aeryn Sun where would she theoretically go? I'm not saying I'm an addict of Farscape or anything, but I wouldn't mind an icon.

And Crichton's old man pants are better than his orange NASA spacesuit, which makes him look like a human/orange hybrid. But as a mistaken wardrobe choice it is exceeded by Ronon's hideous brown jacket on Stargate Atlantis which resembles a road worker's outfit. Nothing wrong with that, but I keep expecting him to don a hard hat and start digging a road rather than growl and stab tables.
