Oh my, I couldn’t get into that show. I still haven’t finished it. It has been sitting in my “Up Next” for months, and will probably remain there for months to come…
Farscape is so refreshing for a lot of reasons, but the quality puppets let them do soooo many cooler aliens than other shows that had to capitulate to the homonoid alien trope
You are not alone. I just don’t understand how people can watch that and think “good”. The puppets were neat and some of the concepts had possibility. But characters wildly changing their personality episode after episode just turned me off. It just had no consistency.
I really like the premise of Farscape, but the execution was lacking. It can still be fun in small doses, but I find a majority of the episodes are just too cheesy for me (same reason why I could never get into Doctor Who).
I watched like 2.5 seasons of sg1 a few months ago and i gave up waiting for it to get good. It definitely had redeeming moments and even episodes but by and large i found it pretty mediocre.
I think a lot of the love for it comes from “growing up” with it and having nostalgia blinders on.
I really loved SG1 when it was airing, but rewatching it nowadays I’m more in your camp -redeaming moments and really good episodes here and there, but for the most part it’s fairly mediocre and a background watch type show at most.
Wait until you hear about stargate.
Star Search has entered the chat
Babylon 5 wants a word out back. And Farscape is waiting to surprise them both
What’s that? Firefly from the top rope!
Red Dwarf waiting to tag in.
No love for Lexx? 😔
Never heard of it…
Oh. Yeah. No.
No.
None.
Lexx is like a bad salvia trip.
Feels like suffering brain damage and sexual abuse.

I thought the girl was soooo cute when I was young. She’s probably half my age now…

And Fargate… but that’s a conversation for another community.
That’s for !chevron7@lemmy.world right?
I don’t get the love for Farscape at all.

Really bad writing overall.
It’s at least nice that they’re not so much a big military hierarchy for a change, in sci-fi.
I think we upset OP lol

You mean the long ad for the FN P90?
But to be fair Stargate has quite a few funny eposodes - if you don’t take it so seriously.
