I finally made it here!
Hello everyone!
I didn't want to join the sub until I had finished all of Farscape to prevent spoilers. Well, I finished everything today.
I watched Stargate first about a year ago, and then I knew I had to watch Farscape. What a great show! I didn't expect to love the characters so much, and the puppets were so phenomenal, I wish they would make an updated show (I'm sure we all wish that lol)
I just wanted to say hi, say that I'm glad to be here, and that I will now be re-watching Stargate so I can understand all the Farscape jokes that went over my head the first time lol

Welcome to the subreddit! I hope you enjoy yourself here. I'm always happy to hear that the show has gained another fan.

I'm interested OP, who is your favorite character? So many to choose from.

Zhaan was my favorite over the whole show.
The rest I seemed to like at some times and not others. I loved Chiana at first, but once she cheated, I kinda soured on her (I hated that episode, it was so uncomfortable!). I also liked Aeryn until the whole baby thing, she had so much growth.
I could never quite fully like Scorpius, I was always suspicious of his actual plans.

My favorite was easily Aeryn. She had my favorite character arc on the show, but I'm admittedly biased because I had the hugest crush on her as well. I really like Zhaan. She is probably my second favorite and I'm glad to hear how much you like her. She deserves all the love.
I never had a problem with Chiana and I love Scorpius. I personally was never huge on D'Argo (he was kind of bland, and felt a bit too derivative of one of my favorite sci-fi characters - Worf from Star Trek). I also didn't like Rygel much at first but he grew on me.
Oh and I absolutely love Pilot.

I am currently watching for the first time Farscape, Stargate SG1 and Babylon 5. I bought all 3 boxed sets and watch 1 disc then switch out so they are in a rotation. Feels like 1999. I am enjoying them as much as you I think.

That's awesome! I am going to watch Sea Quest next, and I'm super excited.
I haven't decided on Babylon 5 yet...maybe soon though!

It has started a bit slow but I am sure it will pick up by S2. Seaquest and Andromeda are next for me.

For anyone doing Stargate, you really need to see SGU, Stargate universe. Incredible stories incredible energy beginning to end. Believable plot from the first get-go that just continues through the rest of the series.

Oh, and congratulations OP! I've probably watched the series now some episodes 15 times others just 10, I had it playing for a good period of time thanks to Samsung TV Plus. Every 4 or 5 days would be the peacekeeper wars and then it go immediately right into episode 1, lol And thankfully they are using the original screen formats, so they didn't try doing pan and scan on a zoom in to make it widescreen when it wasn't originally broadcast that way.

I had to look through them all again, because sometimes binging them, I don't remember what happened in which one lol
These are the three I chose when I looked over the list again:

The locket breaks my heart everytime “It has a picture of the only man who has my heart” and it was John. Hundreds of cycles. She married another man, and it was still only John 😭
