Farscape was a popular television series on Earth. In 2006, Vala Mal Doran pitched an idea to Martin Lloyd about a cloaked Tel'tak on a simple three-hour reconnaissance mission which Martin guessed was a ripoff of Gilligan's Island. He advised her to ripoff something a little more obscure and she ripped off Farscape which Martin did not recognize. (SG1: "200")

  • Farscape is a Space Opera that ran from 1999 to 2003 on the Sci Fi Channel. It was produced by the Jim Henson Company, although co-funded by the network, and co-created by Rockne O'Bannon and Brian Henson. Production took place in Sydney, Australia, to take advantage of lower costs. Canceled in 2003, Farscape was resurrected on the Sci Fi Channel for a two-part miniseries that resolved the cliffhanger from season four and gave fans a condensed version of the planned plot for season five. While its premise began as a fairly standard Science Fiction show, Farscape quickly distinguished itself with a focus on complex, evolving characterizations, jaw-dropping plot twists and movie-quality special effects and cinematography. Several of the aliens went far beyond Rubber Forehead Aliens into the realm of Starfish Aliens, thanks to puppets or animatronics created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop. The show often subverted the cliches and tropes of standard television science fiction, and has been referred to as the "anti-Star Trek." The heroes tended to have more sordid backgrounds and bad habits than usual, and the clean, well-dressed military was often the antagonist. Actions had consequences, characters made stupid mistakes, innocent people died, and plans tended to go wrong. While not quite as arc-based as Babylon 5 or Lost, the series became less episodic as time wore on (this is especially true of Seasons 3 and 4). The series is also notable for its rapid turnover and numerous deaths of main characters, at least compared to most sci-fi series. In actuality, though, not all of those deaths actually stick. Farscape bears some resemblance to the '70s British series Blakes Seven, which was also centered around a group of escaped convicts challenging an evil dictatorship from their high-powered ship. Many B7 fans see the character, Grayza, as an acknowledgment of this, because of her strong resemblance to Servalan, B7's own Big Bad. The fact that actress Rebecca Riggs is an avowed fan of B7 doesn't hurt. In 2008, BOOM! Studios started publishing ongoing -- and canonical -- Farscape comics, from stories written by Rockne O'Bannon and scripted by Keith R.A. DeCandido and David Allan Mack. There were two ongoing series set post-Peacekeeper Wars, one following Moya's crew (Farscape) and one following Scorpius (Farscape: Scorpius), the spin-off since merged back into the ongoing story as of the War for the Uncharted Territories Story Arc, as well as a pre-PKW series following D'Argo. This series has its own recaps and Fetish Fuel page.

He is subsequently pulled into an enormous ship living ship known as Moya. He is injected by a tiny robot with “translator microbes” which allow all the different species to understand each other. It turns out that he has been pulled aboard a ship of escaped prisoners and they think that he is part of the “Sebatian” species that captured them because humans and sebatians look remarkably alike. The series continues from this point as Crichton is chased across the galaxy by various enemies and encounters many different alien species with his new friends (the escaped prisoners) and ends up in a number of unusual scrapes. The plots are often extremely strange with things like clones being put in people’s heads and alien beings trying to achieve a spiritual awareness reminiscent of many religions today. Despite this the story mostly takes place on the ship and is more about the relationships between these very different species confined to such close living compartments and learning to live together. It also incorporates a number a wide range of different human cultures and twisting them in different ways to create the behaviours of certain species. For example on one world all of the inhabitants all love eating a certain food and become reckless jumping off cliffs which is very reminiscent of drug addicts. There is also a reoccurring theme of racism against half-breeds or characters that are the product of two alien species that somehow mated (ex. Scorpius). The show also has a huge number of pop culture references that Crichton says throughout all of the seasons (ex. In the first episode Crichton says "Toto I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore"). There is an entire website devoted to explaining all of the references Crichton makes.

The narrative follows John Crichton, an astronaut from Earth who accidentally opens a wormhole and finds himself at the opposite end of the galaxy. Although the series was under contract for five seasons, it was abruptly canceled after production had ended on its fourth season, effectively ending the series on a cliffhanger. Co-producer Brian Henson later secured the rights to Farscape, paving the way for a four-hour miniseries entitled Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, which Henson himself directed. A comic book miniseries published by BOOM! Studios from December 2008 to June 2009 that was in the continuity of both the series and the proposed webisodes. It was followed by an ongoing series and four more miniseries from 2009 to 2010. Around 2010 there were plans for an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game), but after six months the game studio, Vizuron Entertainment, ran out of funds, but several design elements had been created in corporation with the Henson Company. On April 29, 2012 the game designer Lee Hammock published concept art and the first part of the design document on his blog.The blog post was removed on May 2, 2012 due to legal reasons. In February 2014 it was reported that a screenplay for a new Farscape movie was in development. At WonderCon 2014, Rockne S. O'Bannon confirmed to Nerdacy that a Farscape movie is in development but in very early stages.
