Omg, farscape...... Used to love that shit.
Molvanian
Farscape is fantastic and people should watch it... but by 4 and onwards you're just hunting for similarity, those characters are not alike.
luc666
But where is the living space ship?

turns out when you describe someone by their most vague characteristics, they can cover multiple people.

That last episode with Dargo... ;_;
markhigham1971
Very sad , but they named their son D’argo which for me was just awesome

Ahh Scorpius, you and you obsession with breeding women and stretching out people's eyeballs to plant devices behind them..

Look...The crakers. Don't. Matter!

You can't compare Rygel to Rocket though, not really. Rocket at least has skills and gets shit done. And man, who can forget Chiana!

Rigel is not exactly a weapon specialist, except if you include his farts.

Farscape <3
UghItsThatGuy
Except for one tiny detail- Farscape is a four-year long meditation on insanity which devolves into mind-crushing madness. 5/7, will rewatch

Claudia Black...Sweet Christmas!
gorillaClutch
there's a reason ben browder has a cameo in GoTG 2. he even does his super horrible peacekeeper voice it's wonderful
nouseforaheart
You noticed too!
samsonguy920
Loved it. Hell, I love the Sovereign altogether. Bunch of hoity-toity tightasses that actually have fun. Never figured that was possible.
WhatTheDormouseSaid
Chiana? Where's she?
samsonguy920
Well, maybe she's Nebula without the raging sibling rivalry complex.
GendouLovesDucklings
Wait, Dark Matter kinda fits this trope as well. Shit.
QuotablePoots
Farscape stomps the shit out of all other scyfis I have seen. Fuck Star Wars and fuck Star Trek. This show was amazing.
cyno01
I watch a LOT of tv. Its not the best show ever, but Farscape is my favorite show ever.
QuotablePoots
Agreed.
A2DY79
I remember reading somewhere that the reboot Guardians comic book was actually inspired by Farscape.
RogueCorp
It bothered me so much that they just brought them onto Stargate SG-1. I feel like a crossover would have been more fun. A Stargate is 1/2
RogueCorp
basically just a controlled wormhole. How hilarious would it be to have their team just kind of pop into Cheyenne Mountain. 2/2
YatekMorah
Wasn't star gate from SG an atom-sized, one way wormhole that you got squeezed through by dismantling and reassembling you? With strict 1/2
YatekMorah
size limit? 2/2
RogueCorp
Maybe
Metallica93
I'll watch all of 'Farscape' one day, but man, was it weird as fuck. Australia, what the hell? At least I got Ben/Claudia in 'SG-1' \m/
krapmyself
Which one is the sex addled hemaphrodite in Guardians or the Galaxy?
Slayen2k
Sex addled what now? I can only think of one hermaphrodite from the show and it was only in one episode.
needanamedammit
That may or may not have been Moonstone. She's a comic only character though.
nouseforaheart
I see Farscape, I upvote.
j3st3ri
I've watched Farscape only once and have fond memories of it; not sure if it's a good idea to watch it again.
superanth
Smart. Sometimes it's best to just let good memories lie.
cyno01
It holds up, but first half of first season is pretty weak.

Used to watch this with my dad A LOT when I was growing up. Still try to get people to watch it. Sad they stopped it
leroyGuitarMagnet
I miss this show too! My dad actually directed this show - Andrew Prowse
warmNchewey
Same exact story. Watched it with my dad on the Sci-Fi channel I think.
TehSeksyManz
Same here! You also watch Lex?
Selerox
The irony being that SG1 is the reason it got cancelled. SciFi picked SG1 over Farscape.
samsonguy920
I fell off due to work conflicts, caught the last bits of the final regular episode. Not the greatest of timing, to be sure. But it did >

TargaryenLoyalist
Is it on Netflix or any other streaming service?
Mackeroy
for a while, it comes back every now and again, so you'll have to keep an eye on it
Kennleth
It used to be on Canadian Netflix a few years ago, they’ve removed a fair bit of shows.
AristocratKat
They have it on YouTube for free but its like formatted oddly
Shoutrr
at least it has an ending
IFoldlyGo
"You two make peace or watch the galaxy get destroyed by the singularity I created" - one heck of a threat
Shoutrr
I prefer the ending: "This, this is your playground"
fja3omega
Wasn't a comic book made for the ending?
Shoutrr
I think you are mistaking this for stargate universe.
Shoutrr
no, a whole movie: the peacekeeper wars

I still have a crush on Claudia Black.
CobraEatsSky
Can't stand her. In anything. Dunno why, she grates on me.
BloodyRackham
One of the reasons I romanced Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins since she voiced her in the game.
ActionArmadillo
Chloe over Elena any day of the week and 3.50 on Sundays.
dogmoind
Ohhh.... Ms. Black.
Matrelith
She does voice acting in a couple of video games and holy hell her voice is so sensual
fbfreak
Her german voice is the same as Bart Simpson. Very disturbing.
outcast751
Destiny 1 & 2
Merasite
Chloe from the Uncharted series <3
Merasite
and Morrigan in the Dragon Age series.
SaturnineCult
Tali's treason mission scene in ME3 has her as Admiral Xen, and Avasara from The Expanse! 2 very different but unique voices.
Metallica93
Having gone from 'SG-1' to kinda sorta not really 'Farscape' to 'Mass Effect', she was great to hear. But man, that casting was epic, anyway
LoopStricken
Diablo 3, Cydaea. "Oh, the things I am going to do to you..." "Shhhhh... I eat you now."

gehenna79
I have a crush on her voice. Her face not so much.
BrandizzleFoShizzle
Play Destiny and Destiny 2. Claudia Black is the voice of Tess Everis.
vikk3
Shame that she hasn't done anything really worthwhile since Farscape (didn't like how they just copy&pasted Ben and Claudia to SG1).
dogmoind
Tons of voicework for video games. She was the lead in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which was a great little game.
ButchSideIron
Considering all the voice acting she's doing right now, I think she's doing alright.
ImNoBorat
Ermm... Pitchblack?
vikk3
Oh yeah, well it was published at the same time as FS s2 ;)
fitlex
I could never tell how old she was on SG-1. Like is she 50 and looks real good or 30 and really doesn't?
superanth
It's the cheekbones. They throw you off every time.
Sxualhrssmntpanda
She was born in 72, so she was around her 30s. And here i was thinking i was starting to mature for beginning to like older women...
pocketcthulhu
Never realized she was older than me, Rawr.
TheNewKidInTheBlockWar
She ain't bad but Gigi is da bomb.
krylani
I met her once at a con. She's freakin' adorable.
3nd3rwiggin
Have been lucky enough to meet her enough times she actually remembers my name.
vikk3
Yeah Chiana makeup was so hot :) But John & Aeryn is the best love story in a Scifi series so far.
jadespider
The best thing ever, is when Ben and Claudia went from Farscape to SG-1, and basically exchanged character sheets like it was no big deal.

Guardians was a comic book before farscape was a TV show.

No it wasn't

We need more Farscape reaction gifs
Whyismynameflorida
And they all follow the same make-up of countless influences before it. D&D, Star Wars, LOTR, and folk heroes like Robin Hood, Jason, etc.
TheDanWithNoName
More accurately, these are archetypes that work, and they are modified to fit scifi/fantasy etc with some popculture tweaks

Yep, good ol Drax from the comics https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/99/Captain_Marvel_Drax.jpg

I was about to say...don't be telling a former comic book/sci fi nerd that BS. Lol
babaganooshtallywacker
But original guardians didn't have the same cast.
Elonth
but the current popular cast still debuted way the fuck before Farscape was even an idea Rockne S. O'Bannon came up with as he took a shit.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
True, but all characters of the 2008 line-up made their comic book debut in 1976 or earlier (Gamora in '75, Drax in '73, Groot in '60).
PoppinFlesh
Seriously, I love your ability to recall this kind of information but....
GUTZandRAGE
And they were extremely different characters than what you get from the Guardians. Come on.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
And that proves Ronan the Accuser (1967, for what it's worth) was modeled after the bad guy of some obscure sci-fantasy show? Come on indeed
GUTZandRAGE
Yeah, but Ronan the fucking accuser isn’t even a bad guy to the Guardians in the comics. He’s not really a bad guy.
Attaroo
The original guardians - Yondu, Starhawk, Charlie-27, Vance Astro, Martinex. The movie makes them the leaders of the Ravagers.
Attaroo
Ving Rhames, Charlies 27. Sylvester Stallone, Stakar Ogord / Starhawk. Michael Rosenbaum, Martinex. Michael Rooker, Yondu.
GUTZandRAGE
Not those Guardians. The Lanning/Abnett Guardians team was published in 2008. Farscape had ended five years prior.
johnzaku
And I gotta say I love Abnett’s take on them.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Check the creation dates of the individual characters of the current line-up.
GUTZandRAGE
What’s your point? They were not together then, and the Groot, Star-Lord, even Rocket of old are completely different characters.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
"Extremely different" is an overstatement. Groot was a walking tree then & he is one now. If anything, he was inspired by Tolkien's Ents.
GUTZandRAGE
They were different characters. Written differently. Did you read the comics or are you just pulling shit out of the Internet?
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
To think his modern version was inspired by Farscape's female empath (not very original btw; think TNG's Deanna Troi) seems far-fetched.
GUTZandRAGE
Groot was a monster from Planet X who spoke in fully formed sentences. And was bad. And appeared sporadically through the decades. Wtf.
nurmich
Farscape was '99. The Guardians comics the movies are based on started in '08. True story.
Sortepian
First appearanceMarvel Super-Heroes #18 (January 1969)
nurmich
Old school Guardians was a very different team. Though some of those characters have had cameos or supporting roles in the films (Yondu).
macfett
Rocket raccoon 1976, Star Lord 1976, Drax 1973, Groot 1960, Gamora 1975

(1/2) They're talking about the big Annihilation revival that reimagined a lot of Marvel's cosmic characters. The MCU version takes a lot
StealthyOctopus
(2/2) from that iteration.
TheNewKidInTheBlockWar
I call your BS with the facts stated by others.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Peter Quill first appeared in 1976, as did Rocket. Gamora has been around since 1975, Drax since 73. Groot goes all the way back to 1960.
GUTZandRAGE
So Farscape had the idea to put them all together before Marvel, then. The post still makes sense!
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Farscape put all these Marvel characters together?
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
It's true that these characters weren't a team until 2008, but they all predate the TV show by several decades.
TheNewKidInTheBlockWar
The characters as such are not very unique, but the combination rather is.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
A gun-toting, explosives-loving sapient raccoon w.enhanced strength & intelligence who is also a brilliant spaceship engineer is not unique?
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
And what this character has in common with Farscape's muppet Rygel XVI besides size is beyond me.
krapmyself
I used to watch this, Stargate sg1, and The Lexx on Friday nights. Then late Saturday, I'd watch reruns of X-files, ds9, and xena. Oh 90's..

keillrandor
Good old late night TV here in the UK, was like that too - Lexx, Space Above and Beyond, La Femme Nikita... (I know there was more......)
losCHUNK
Then every once in a while Monkey Magic would grace your screen as you're flicking between the 4 channels.
keillrandor
And then they added the 5th Channel in 1997... I miss the late night US motorsports they used to show on there (Indycar/NASCAR etc.)
karmasamburg
Space Above and Beyond was/is amazing.
samsonguy920
Good choices. Babylon 5 was my absolute must-see. I about lost my shit one night when my local cable failed to shut off their damn >
karmasamburg
B5 had some of the best written characters I've ever seen to this day.
EvilEkips
Still my favorite sci-fi show today. Too bad so many actors died tragically :(
samsonguy920
> commercial override, where they pre-empted the network ads with their own. Just in time for the next show to start.
Lapkin
Babylon 5 was amazing for its time. Today we have better shows, but none one them could be possible without Babylon 5.
EvilEkips
In the end, it would hold, because what is built endures. And what is loved endures. And Babylon 5... Babylon 5 endures.
samsonguy920
What constitutes a better show? If you are judging merely by special effects, you are missing a lot.
Lapkin
BSG, Stargate SG-1, Expanse
Lapkin
And btw for its time Babylon 5 had amazing VFX.
