  1. That was actually Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame.
  2. Okay, nice episode, but what's the deal with the bartender? Is he a "full-timer"? Was it his dream to spend the afterlife serving drinks in a 1980s nightclub?
  3. I see the comments that suggest Buzzy looks like Barton Fink or Buddy Holly, but all I can think of when I see him is Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby.
  4. I noticed this too. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be up to eating two four course meals right after having having oral surgery.
  5. She doesn't, but then she builds a meth empire, kills a bunch of people, but dies alone with her lab equipment because of her own hubris. Sounds like it could be a good show...
  6. I get the impression that the third season is the most popular one, but my personal favorite is season 2, and I think I might rank season 1 a little higher than season 3 too (or at least the second half of season 1).
  7. The "fight" scene between Aeryn and Matala in Back and Back and Back to the Future is hilarious. Especially if you watch it on mute. It kills me every time.
  8. Some of the costumes and sets look a little cheap to me, especially compared to those on shows that air today (although to be fair, I would guess that the budget on a show like Game of Thrones dwarfs [seriously, no pun intended--I hate puns] the budget that Farscape had to work with). But like you're saying, the strength of this show is in its characters and their development, not so much in its visual effects and art direction. On a related note, after all the shows in the last decade or so where the protagonists have been, if not The Bad Guys, then at least bad guys, I've found it refreshing to watch a show where I actually like and root whole-heartedly for the main characters. Though I can appreciate that there have been some great shows lead by anti-heroes, I think that trope has become overused. Series like Farscape should serve as a reminder to show runners that heroes don't have to be boring and that characters can be flawed but still lovable.
  9. I discovered Farscape a couple of months ago, and I've been kind of obsessed with it since then. I wish it hadn't taken 15 years for this show to cross my radar. I usually like to feed my TV obsessions by reading other fans' thoughts about a show, but there isn't a whole lot of active Farscape discussion on the old interweb these days. It's funny, sometimes the show feels fairly modern and I forget that it first aired a decade and a half ago, and then sometimes it feels very '90s to me (especially when I stumble across fan sites from when the show was still airing--I didn't realize geocities still exists).
  10. I know most of the dialogue in Farscape had to be ADR'ed, but was watching the LatP trilogy, and I was kind of distracted by how Jenavian's lips and voice are out of sync. It almost seems like her part was overdubbed by a different actress. I didn't see any voice credit to another actress on imdb for these episodes, but I found some videos of the actress (Bianca Chiminello) on youtube, and her voice sounded different to me. It's not a big deal, but I was wondering whether anyone else noticed this or knew whether/why they used a different actress's voice. EDIT: I guess I was wrong. Based on this, it sounds like she did the ADR herself.
  11. No, I know who Laure is. But I'm referring to the scene where Julie and Adele are in Adele's kitchen right before Adele's daughter falls off of the trampoline.
  12. I recently finished watching the first season. I know there are about a gazillion unanswered questions, and this may be one of the least important ones, but... In the first couple of episodes, Julie told her neighbor and Simon that she didn't really know Adele; she just took over her apartment. But then in the seventh episode she and Adele acted as if they did know each other In fact, Adele asks, "Weren't we less formal once?", suggesting that they may have been close in the past. So did Julie lie to her neighbor and Simon, and if so, why? Or is it possible that this was just a goof on the writers' part (seems unlikely to me)?
