I'm a big time Scaper. IMHO, it's probably the best sci-fi series on television.

I dont mean to be rude but I find farscape very droll, Stargate is good, nice effects and funny.

Are you serious? I think Farscape is the best written Sci-Fi show ever; but, more importantly, I think it is also the funniest.

David Kemper and Rockne have both said that Farscape is first and foremost a comedy. I find Stargate, no offense, to be completely bland and "American." There's an edge to Farscape that has never been seen before or since.

But, as always, these are just opinions!

I'm also a Scaper and I don't really think it's mostly comedy. to me it was always the mix of comedy and drama that captured me. it manages to go from heartbreaking drama to comedy in one minute and back again in the next. and it has a real life feel to it that lots of 'normal american' series like all the Star Treks or Stargate or Babylon 5 don't have. don't know how to describe it. it's messier, not so sterile, lot's like Firefly in that regard.

what I detest most is people that have seen half an episode here and there, haven't understood any of the story and decided it was "muppeds in space". it's not. it's the same with Buffy, people not having seen enough to get it and deciding it's stupid by just seeing a blonde teenager fighting vampires *rolleyes*. that's not what Buffy is about and funny muppeds and weird looking aliens is not what Farscape is about.

I just like to rant on that one, just ignore me, if your valid oppinion might differ.

I actually tried to explain the Angel finale to my brother the other day who has long ridiculed me and my wife's love for the Buffyverse, and he got lost!

I tried to explain who the Black Thorne Circle were, and how they were the hands of Wolfram and Hart, etc, etc, and he just couldn't believe how in-depth the story was and how much background knowledge he needed just to appreciate the final line about slaying the dragon.

That's pretty much the same response I get when I talk about the whole "Life is the Big Bad," syndrome from Buffy 6. People just don't understand metaphors can exist in television; it doesn't always have to be WYSIWYG.
