Rewatching the series cuz the last thread hyped me. On Season 3 now when they find the other Leviathan in the slave collar. It's freaky what happens to the other pilot.
Let's get some Farscape conversation going.

you fucking nerds with your crazy shit
So you just watched the episode Eat Me? I love when Farscape delves into the horror genre, like with DNA Mad Scientist in season 1
Like why is Talyn one of the coolest ships in space? And what do you think about Starburst propulsion? It's not creating a wormhole, since Leviathans can't stand wormhole space in Farscape. But it also can't be tracked through normal space, and I believe it has a min/max range (don't remember the episode, but Pilot says once he had Moia do the shortest starburst she could). It's a sort of "blink" propulsion, I guess.
Not being tracked is nice, but it also throws off all of Moia's sense of area as well, and it takes some time to reorient. Sort of like how a tiger beetle works on Earth - running really fast in short, straight bursts. It isn't the best if you're trying to go places, which is why the symbiotic brain pilot is a bonus.
Currently watching, but it's my third time with the show. They hit all sorts of vibes. I loved how they rejected putting a happy ending on the time travel at the peace shrine. Shit has consequences, yo.
Action, Drama, Romance, Horror, Comedy, Surrealism, Farscape had it all. That's part of what makes it the greatest show of all time. Plebs who obsess over "real world" shows will never understand, writers of shows like that are confined to rules that sci-fi writers can step around easily. There is so much more you can do
No other fans of the show? What about the idea of a species accepting the role of a living ship's consciousness? Do you think the very very ancient ancestor of Pilot's species were some sort of parasite? Instead of taking over a fish's tongue, it took over the neural cluster, and eventually evolved into the higher intelligence of space-faring creatures?
Thinking on this, Pilot says his species "accepted" the task of piloting so they could see the stars. What if this is his species' religious dogma? We know Leviathans have definitive creator, so they probably had some say in how they work. But that still could just be an endpoint. His species could have worked its way up - Infecting and taking over more and more advanced creatures over the millenia.
...
Would you accept a pilot in your head? You would still have a little bit of control. And it could guide you through your life so much better than your primitive, instinctual mind. Isn't this a fair trade? Poor pilots, we cannot move on our own, so we adapted to be the minds of things that can move better than us.
Please let us Pilot you...
They do a good job of having episodic plot with serial relationships. The people grew, the basic show did not. So you have great single episodes, and you have this wonderful story-long growth with occasional big changes (but more often reverting to some semblance of how the episode began). I will give it one critique that the two and three-parters aren't always the best writing. The stuff in them with scorpio is spot on, but the surrounding can be a bit trite.
I just watched "Kansas" (time travel to 1986 episode) as my first Farscape since 2009. It reminded me that D'Argo gets cucked by his own son.

>They do a good job of having episodic plot with serial relationships. The people grew, the basic show did not.
And that's my preference. I don't consider a show becoming more arc-oriented as "growing." I'm sick of serialized television, I don't need a show to be one long fucking movie
X-Files did a good job too, there were a lot of shows mid to late 90s that did a great mix of episodic with serial relationships. Monster of the week. Case of the week. Stargate of the week.
I'm kind of confused how Starburst works
I feel like in S1 the implication was that they couldn't control the destination in a Starburst and it's like a defense mechanism of Leviathans
then later it's chosen as an actual form of FTL between two points
did I miss something?
I still don't really like the Earth episodes themselves as they just come off as overly preachy
I do get them from a story point of view of having John get over his initial goal of getting back to Earth, realizing he's changed too much to just accept that and move on. Which all in all makes more sense remembering there was going to be a S5
It's both
I finished my episode and meal. Bumping thread. Which one do you think won? Does it matter? How would you tell? How would you choose?
>spin a top
>watch clock
>Me 1 gets even seconds
>Me 2 gets odd
>only start after 10 seconds of spinning
>Me1 spins once, Me2 spins once. Aeryn spins once - best two out of three.
Wiki says Starburst takes you into 1-D travel. So subspace instead of a wormholes hyperspace or something?
farscape.fandom.com
>Also, the direction in which a Leviathan travels depends on its entry vector into one dimensional space-time, but the information that makes up the entry vector is converted into a scalar value in one dimensional space-time, thus making the exit vector a completely random value. Because of this random exit vector, reverse navigation is not as simple as turning the ship around and Starbursting again. The ships pilot must replot an entirely new vector based on their current and previous navigational positions (the latter of which can often be pure speculation and intuition on the pilot's part).
Forgot pic
all things considered I don't know if it would be that great of an idea if the show continued but I'd probably watch it
John-Tan won because he survived to make Aeryn into an honest woman and the mother of his child while John-Black got Nagasaki'd
>Starbust takes you to 1D space
I remember an episode where they get stuck in the middle of a starburst and Moia is basically being pulled in four directions as it exists in four different dimensions at a time. They then have to "starburst back" the way they came from to avoid the ship being completely shattered.
>They then have to "starburst back" the way they came from to avoid the ship being completely shattered.
Checked. And this is true, but a bit off on detail. They didn't "starburst back," they "starburst backwards." I guess the difference between walking backward and turning 180 to walk forward in the opposite direction? And it certainly wasn't pleasant for Moia.
>being pulled in four directions
So maybe the single vector 1-D travel of starburst then turns into the 4-D real-space of X,Y,Z, and time? So being ripped out of it was pulling the single vector in "four" directions?
Damn, I fucked it up.
I want to watch one-off episodes before trying to start from the beginning?
What are the best ones?
Obviously the cartoon episode and "actors playing different characters" one, but I can't remember any others.
Crackers Don't Matter is my go-to episode to get people interested in the show. After that you just gotta start from the beginning
yeah, it definitely sounds like some sort of projection. Maybe the 4D ship is projected into the four axes of space-time, thus 4 scalar values, and 4 "ships"? It seems in accord with what you pulled from the wiki. Either way, the way they handled it is really well though out.
I wanted to see Allison and Cameron meet
The ones mentioned in here: Eat Me, Kansas, and I would add My Three Chrictons, and DNA Mad Scientist (good first season episode - really shows the contrast in how they go from strangers forced to work together to the loving family of misfits in later seasons).
Plus the episodes where Zhaan is sexy.
>Floraphilia isn't a thing
Pic is from Throne For a Loss - great episode.
And the episode talked about where Moya is pulled into different dimensions, each affecting the different passengers in a different way, and a perhaps not-so-helpful guide.
>I NEED MORE LIIIIGHT!!

>HUMANS ARE SUPERIOR!

Oh that IS Crackers Don't Matter. I forgot that was the same ep.
The leviathans were created by ayy lmaos energy beings. They must have known about pilots and designed one to plug into the other.
>they just come off as overly preachy
Worth it just for John's goodbye with his dad
>You'll find that when you have your own, you want them to pass you.
>Be better, climb higher...
>And if that's the measure then I'm the greatest dad on earth
Nah they were great, sure there were globalist themes but you can completely understand John's POV after what he's seen. He wants Earth to work together because of potential alien threats.
Also they are far better than most of the rest of season 4, which is easily the weakest season
>You'll find that when you have your own
But Crichton DOES have a child. He chadded up on that planet with the princess and left her with the cuck to raise his kid as royalty.
Claudia is SO fucking hot in Farscape it blows my mind. Just her voice can get me erect.
>Crichton DOES have a child
He has a fertilized embryo that will be frozen for 50 cycles.
That he got a royal minister and future queen to take care of. How is that not chad?
I like to think Grayza was carrying chrichton's offspring in peacekeeper war.
Don't forget the baby Crichton clone from early in the season with that princess/royalty planet. iirc they wanted to turn him int a statue as part of their customs.
sleep tight farscape thread
fuck, that was late.
Have some Sikozu
She was tsundere
THIS.
Her voice is fucking SEX
