@dargron7614

CGI has its limitations, particularly for TV. Visually it has gotten pretty good, but you still have issues with CGI believably inhabiting a space - light, weight and movement will often seem off and of course you have the issue of the actors having to imagine what is there. Puppets have the advantage of being physically in the space where they can directly interact with live actors and the environment around them, along with the ability to improvise and experiment in the moment just like an actor. This show makes plentiful use of both tools where appropriate, for example the moment in this episode where Rigel walks over to meet the bugs is CGI, because puppets have their limitations too. CGI and puppetry working together will usually offer the best of both worlds (Jurassic Park being the standout example).

I agree with you. There is much to be said for a physical object the actors can react to, that the lighting and even breezes interact with and the overall lighting matches the scenes.

The puppeteered characters also benefit heavily from being in the Henson environment, where they are never treated as less-thans in storytelling. From writing to performance, they are given as much attention as flesh and blood characters. One aspect of puppet work is, in many ways, the characters must have an inner dialogue which the puppeteers work with and express through gesture, since facial expression is limited. The work they do with gesture and (either themselves or VO actors) voice must be impeccable for the character to come to life. It is truly a remarkable art form.

Virginia Hey is the actress. This, Mad Max: The Road Warrior and the Living Daylights are probably her biggest and most well known roles. In an interview, she revealed that she had to completely shave her head for the role. She hadn't realized this at first; her agent failed to tell her. Brian Henson was willing to find an alternate way to do the make-up to let her keep her hair but the takes with a "alien helmet" she thought looked terrible and so she did the work herself. The interesting thing is that Zahn is SO different from Virginia herself, and she loved the role, being a spiritual mother for the ship and it's crew. Unfortunately, the blue make-up also proved to be a problem, as she found herself constantly getting ill. As the series goes on you'll notice they have her wear more clothing so they can use less blue make-up, mostly on her hands and face. There's more to that but it ventures into spoiler territory.

I recall seeing Virginia Hey on a documentary on human behavior. She was in a sequence where she was on a city street, and due to her beauty she received several looks from passers by. While most of it was positive, she also received some looks which appeared to be negative. It appeared as people were holding contempt for her because of her looks. I found it interesting because the same physical attributes can make one approachable or non-approachable based on perceptions

Just so that you are aware, You are watching the aired episode order and not the filmed episode order for season 1. Scifi channel screwed around with the episodes in the beginning. This causes a couple of episodes to feel out of place. The second episode filmed is I,ET, which was aired 7th. So suddenly everyone will seem less trusting of each other out of nowhere. The true filmed order is 1)Premier, 2)I,ET, 3)Exodus From Genesis, 4)Throne of loss, 5)Back and back and back to the future, 6))Thank god its Friday... again, 7)PK tech girl.

Though it's actually a little more complicated than that since in the early days they filmed multiple episodes at once (I think for the 1st 4 or 6? It's been a minute since I learned this.) They pretty quickly learned that was a mistake and went back to filming one ep at a time.

I don't care what order you react to the episodes in, as long as you are reacting. The order issue is only in the first half of the first season. And this was a great reaction! So glad you are watching this series!

I really wish streaming services would get the order right. It makes no sense to not put the episode "I, E.T." after any of the ones they put it after. It's supposed to be the second episode. John is realizing HE is the alien in this world. And there's conversations and actions that take place in it that make no sense unless it happens earlier on.

Some trivia: the voice of Pilot is done by the actor who plays Crais.

Zha'an is played by Virginia Hey. Prior to "Farscape", she was probably best known outside Australia for "Mad Max 2". She played the Warrior Woman.

Oh man, you're starting on one of the GREATS right here. This is one of those shows wish I could experience again for the first time. They had some pretty advanced storytelling.

The speed at which we went from complimenting the beauty of the Henson Workshop's characters to obkectively appaled and how creepy theu can make things was impressive. Whilst "nest" and "hive" may have the same number of letters in English, I suspect the joke is also the writer's reminding us that John is the only one actually speaking English - everything else is magic injection doing the translating. Glad you're having fun in this amazing universe, on to the next one!

I've got the whole series on DVD 😁 I bought it the first moment I saw the series on tv here in little old Denmark 🥰

A Maurder is like a space Tank with very highly trained commandos aboard.

"Don't lick people"?!? You saw D'argo's tongue. That's some of the most fun there is in, and off, this world.

I don't have the quote, but apparently in filming episode 1, Browder decided to hit Rygel. Now that puppet is expensive, so that freaked everyone out. But by god it made Rygel more alive and real and in the world. Touching these things was important to make them present. It became common practice to hit the puppet.

So glad to see you reviewing Farscape. I loved that show when it was on years ago.

I've only seen a few random episodes of this series, but my impression is that Pilot and Moyia is that they are simbiots - neither can live separate from the other.

"This show took a turn." Oh, you innocent little sci-fi fan, you have NO idea... just wait until you get through the show and to the movies 🤣

At the very end, John and Arun are on the transparent observation deck at the top/aft of Moya. It's a great set and chance to showcase the amazing space effects of the series. We'll see more of it later. As the series progresses, we'll see the full extent of Pilot's area- it's my favorite set. This was a great episode because they turned the old "The Thing" idea on it's head and found a nonviolent solution to everything. Rigel steppes up! His regalness was on full display. Some seeds of bromance between John and D'Argo when they were messing with Rigel. Neat that Peacekeepers are cold blooded. I imagine they avoid very hot planets. Zan is wonderful and complex. A sorta Zen monk with sage advice. Love her.

Farscape is enough in my head from watching it growing up that I occasionally use their timekeeping terms of arns and microts for my own amusement.

You are so gonna love some of the episode to come, some are very quirky, some are trippy and some just blow your mind

When you see the beetles running on the ground effects crew dressed the DRDs to make them. When they are standing it is CG I think.

I saw Ben Browder at ComicCon. He said that during the initial filming of Farscape an exec from Channel 9 here in Australia took him aside and said, "Australian's don't like science fiction". That, of course, was BS. Of course Australian's like science fiction. The annoying thing is that Channel 9 had the rights to transmit Star Trek and they kept putting it on late 'cos it was aired just after their horrendous favourite "The Footy Show" which often went over time. Incidentally, the host of the Footy Show, Sam Newman, was "accidentally" run over by his ex-wife. Personally, I suspect she was a Star Trek fan

One of the endearing qualities of this show is the countless pop culture references throughout the entire series. i.e: "Animal House".

As another Henson youth, I think you’d really enjoy “The Happy Time Murders”. If you haven’t already seen it.

If you're looking for a fun game to play while watching Farscape, try to point out all the actors from Mad Max and the Matrix.

Great reactions to another wonderful, early episode, of Farscape.

If you're already enjoying this show this much, you are REALLY going to love it as it goes on! This show is totally weird and wonderful. Claudia Black is totally beautiful too! And Ben Browder is freaking awesome.

28:50 Not to poke holes in the show, I have loved the show since season one was initially airing, and have rewatched it several times, but I never really understood why they didn't just stuff Aeryn into her prowler and let her hang out in the AC for a few hours.

Doctor Who and Farscape? What good deed did I do to deserve this?

@@biguy617 I used to watch re-runs of classic Who on tv back in the day, and my grandfather's video tapes. Loved Tom Baker and Peter Davison. Sylvester McCoy was kinda creepy to me for some reason. Probably the eyes.

Another show that I am watching through you. You do a really good job, thank you!
