Questions
Who created Farscape?
The series was conceived by Rockne S. O’Bannon and co-produced by The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment.
When did Farscape premiere?
It premiered in the United States on the Sci-Fi Channel on March 19, 1999, as the network’s anchor Friday-night series.
How many episodes are there?
Four seasons and 88 episodes, running from 1999 to 2003.
What is the show about?
Astronaut John Crichton is flung across the galaxy through a wormhole during an experimental slingshot maneuver, landing among a crew of escaped alien prisoners aboard a living ship.
Who plays John Crichton?
American actor Ben Browder. Crichton pilots a module he named Farscape-1, which gives the series its title.
What is Moya?
Moya is a Leviathan, a giant biomechanical living ship that is a sentient being in her own right. She is bonded to a multi-armed creature literally named Pilot.
What did the Jim Henson Company contribute?
Jim Henson’s Creature Shop built the show’s aliens, makeup, and prosthetics. Two regular characters, the deposed Hynerian ruler Rygel and the ship’s Pilot, are full animatronic puppets.
Who are the main crew?
Alongside Crichton are the ex-Peacekeeper soldier Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black), the Luxan warrior Ka D’Argo, the blue-skinned Delvian priestess Zhaan, the thieving Nebari girl Chiana, plus Rygel and Pilot.
Who are the villains?
The militaristic Peacekeepers hunt the crew, chiefly the scheming half-Scarran Scorpius and the disgraced captain Bialar Crais.
What do the words “frell” and “dren” mean?
They are the show’s invented profanity, used to slip strong language past network censors. “Frell” and “dren” stand in for the obvious English equivalents.
Where was Farscape filmed?
It was shot in Sydney, Australia, at Fox Studios.
Why was the show cancelled?
The Sci-Fi Channel cancelled Farscape in September 2002, ending the fourth season on a cliffhanger and sparking a vocal “Save Farscape” fan campaign.
How was the cliffhanger resolved?
The fan outcry led to Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, a two-part miniseries that aired October 17 and 18, 2004, and tied up the story.
What did the leads do next?
Ben Browder and Claudia Black both went on to join the cast of Stargate SG-1.
