h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

No, not a fan of closets. Or a storage cupboard for...

I read the posts recently of the show's demise with great regret . After trying out the show when it first aired on BBC in the UK, it has become a weekly gem in mying viewing life. And all this for a show that rarely gets any promotion, stuck in a post-teatime youth/cult slot.

Compare this with the hype given to the latest Star Trek pap, Enterprise, and you know there is no justice in this world. No problem with Scott Bakula, but the hackneyed plots, 2D characterisation...

I soon concluded, and continue to believe, that Farscape is one of the best SF entertainment programmes for a long while. For as long as I can, I will continue to head for the TV on a Tuesday, shut out the wife and family, disconnect the phone, and enjoy!

It's on on a Tuesday?


I watch it on a Monday on BBC2 {on the weeks that snooker isn't on} and repeats on a Sunday {8pm sci-fi channel}.

Did you see the episode when Crichton was in a coma and he dreamed he was the roadrunner and D'Argo was the coyote chasing him?



Inspired, truly original..

And Aeryn drawn as Jessica Rabbit...... "I am not bad, I was just drawn that way....."
"Can you do that Sharon Stone thang?"



I never stopped laughing through that episode, second time round!!!!

I hope they'll make a film, and bring Zhaan back.

... - did I say Tuesday? Oops! Ditto on the stoopid snooker however. I'm only surprised that the Beeb keep Farscape in the same timeslot - usually programmes I like get shunted around all sorts of strange times.

Loved the Roadrunner episode too, and can't wait to find out what happens to Scorpy after being buried alive this week!

I know!

Did you almost feel sorry for him too?



There are times I've detested Scorpy but I still felt sorry for him when they did that episode when he learned of his "conception" {and the build up to it}

The show wouldn't be the same without him though.

Maybe the Monks dug him up.

Or Jools.

Or maybe he grows a Scorpy tree and little Scorpies grow from buds.

little scorpies? scorpettes surely.although this offers oppurtunities fo a spin off group 'SPARKY & THE SCORPETTES'anyone.ideal for playing at your s+m parties.still to be serious,they've got to bring back the scorpmeister.without him the show just does'nt have a part way beleivable villain,i mean who would be scared of a sexy female in low cut outfit.hmm am i getting a flashback to blakes 7.somebody frelling shoot me

I find myself using that word more and more.
You can get away with it on h2g2 even.


Well looks like your request was granted, rockrat, Scorpy appears to have joined the crew,

I didn't half shudder when Crichton imagined Aeryn being Scorpius.
~shudder~

That female with the lavendar eyes and cleveage reminded me of Servalan as well.

Noooooo. I didn't know Farscape was was ending.
WHY?? Its the best sci-fi on TV

I don't know.

Shall I add you to the list of fans?

I'm a Farscape fan too. Last year I attended a London Farscape
meetup http://farscape.meetup.com/ for more details.
