- RichyEOctober 12, 2025This one’s a fever dream in space and it works. Farscape throws astronaut John Crichton into a wormhole and out the other side into a universe that’s wild, dangerous and deeply alien. No clean Starfleet corridors here, just living ships, puppet monarchs and a crew of fugitives who feel more like family than fantasy. The Jim Henson Creature Shop gives the show its signature look: Rygel, Pilot and the rest aren’t CGI—they’re tactile, expressive and unforgettable. But it’s the characters that make it sing. Crichton’s descent from wide eyed explorer to battle-scarred survivor is raw and real. Aeryn Sun’s arc from Peacekeeper to partner is one of sci-fi’s most emotionally grounded transformations. And Scorpius? Pure nightmare fuel wrapped in elegance. The show’s not afraid to get weird, body swaps, alternate realities, psychic torture and wormhole physics that bend your brain. But beneath the chaos is a beating heart: identity, trauma, love and the cost of survival. It’s messy, bold, and unlike anything else from its era. If you first saw it on TV or VHS, it still holds up and you know this wasn’t just a show, it was a ride.
