It premiered in North America on the [[Sci-Fi Channel]]'s ''SciFi Friday'' segment on 19 March 1999 (at 8:00 pm EST), as the network's anchor series. The Jim Henson Company is credited with the many [[Extraterrestrial life|alien]] looks, make-up and [[Prosthetic makeup|prosthetics]]; two regular characters on the show, the [[Animatronics|animatronic]] puppets Rygel and Pilot, were entirely Henson [[Creature Shop]] creations. Although the series was planned for five seasons, it was abruptly cancelled after production had ended on its fourth season, thus finishing the series on a cliffhanger. Co-producer [[Brian Henson]] later secured the rights to ''Farscape'', paving the way for a three-hour miniseries, ''[[Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars]]'', which Henson himself directed. In 2007, it was announced that the creator was returning for a web series,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Farscape: Sci Fi Series to Return in Web Episodes|url=https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/farscape-sci-fi-series-to-return-in-web-episodes/|date=2007-08-02|website=canceled + renewed TV shows β TV Series Finale|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-25}}</ref> though production has been repeatedly delayed. In December 2008, a [[comic book]] miniseries was released, in-continuity with both the television show and the potential online series. ==Overview== ''Farscape'' features a diverse ensemble cast of characters who are initially escaping from corrupt authorities in the form of a militaristic organization called the Peacekeepers. The protagonists live inside a large bio-mechanical ship called [[Moya (Farscape)|Moya]] which is a living entity. In the first episode, they are joined by the main character, John Crichton ([[Ben Browder]]), a modern-day American astronaut who accidentally flies into a [[wormhole]] near Earth during an experimental space flight. On the same day, another stranger is picked up by Moya: a Peacekeeper named [[Aeryn Sun]] ([[Claudia Black]]). Despite his best intentions, Crichton makes enemies, including the show's most prominent antagonist: [[Scorpius farscape|Scorpius]]. There are a few standalone plots, and the show gradually unfolds progressive [[story arc]]s, beginning with the crew's recapture by the Peacekeepers, followed by Crichton's search to find another wormhole back to Earth, and an eventual arms race for wormhole technology weapons. Secondary arcs explore the way in which the characters change due to their influences and adventures together, most notably Crichton and his obsession with wormhole technology, his relationship with Aeryn, and the neural clone of Scorpius in his brain that haunts him. ==Production and broadcast== The series was originally conceived in the early 1990s by [[Rockne S. O'Bannon]] and [[Brian Henson]] under the title ''Space Chase''.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Science Fiction Television Series, 1990-2004: Histories, Casts and Credits for 58 Shows|last1=Garcia|first1=Frank|last2=Phillips|first2=Mark|publisher=McFarland|year=2008|isbn=978-0786491834|pages=96}}</ref> The series is told in a serialized format, with each episode involving a self-contained story while contributing to a larger [[story arc|storyline]]. Nearly the entire cast originates from Australia and New Zealand, except for Ben Browder, who is an American actor. ''Farscape'''s characters frequently make use of slang such as "frell", "dren" and "hezmana" as a substitute for English expletives.<ref>{{Cite book |title=[[Brave New Words: The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction]] |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2007 |isbn=978-0195305678 |editor-last=Prucher |editor-first=Jeff |location=Google Books |pages=[https://archive.org/details/bravenewwordsoxf00pruc/page/72 72]}}</ref> ''Farscape'' first ran on the Australian TV Channel [[Nine Network]] and the Canadian [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV channel]], then in the US on the [[Syfy|Sci-Fi Channel]] and on [[BBC Two]] in the United Kingdom. The series' original broadcast on Sci-Fi was noted for its erratic scheduling, with hiatuses lasting months often occurring mid-season. For example, the final four episodes of Season 1 aired beginning in January 2000, nearly four months after the broadcast of the preceding episode; the final four episodes of Season 3 were separated from the rest of the season by a gap of more than six months.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187636/episodes|title=Farscape (1999β2003) Episode List|website=[[IMDb]] |access-date=12 April 2022|archive-date=12 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412124210/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187636/episodes|url-status=live}}</ref> Each episode cost more than $1 million to make.<ref>{{cite web|first=Maureen|last=Ryan|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2003/08/08/science-friction-6/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20240708143927/https://www.chicagotribune.com/2003/08/08/science-friction-6/|title=Science friction|newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]]|archivedate=July 8, 2024|date=August 8, 2003|accessdate=July 22, 2024}}</ref> ==Plot== {{See also|List of Farscape episodes}} ===Season One=== Earth astronaut [[List of Farscape characters#John Crichton|John Crichton]] is unexpectedly [[Premiere (Farscape)|hurled to an unknown part of the Milky Way galaxy]] via a [[wormhole]]. He finds himself in the middle of an escape attempt by [[Moya (Farscape)|Moya]], a living spaceship, from the militaristic [[Peacekeepers (Farscape)|Peacekeepers]], who had been using her as a prison transport. In the chaos, Crichton's space capsule has an accidental collision with a Peacekeeper fighter which results in the death of its pilot. Crichton's ship and another Peacekeeper fighter are brought into Moya's hold. Although the escape is successful, the Peacekeeper Captain, [[Bialar Crais]], fixates on Crichton as the murderer of the pilotβhis brotherβand begins a campaign to chase Crichton down. The various crew have no common goal, each only wishing [[DNA Mad Scientist|to go home]]. Unfortunately, to evade Crais' pursuit, they have to travel into the Uncharted Territories, and thus have no idea how to get home. The other crew also have little respect for Crichton, seeing him only as a "primitive hoo-man" who does not understand even the basic tenets of life in space. Various episodes explore the characters' backstories. Aeryn, the fighter pilot, [[PK Tech Girl|begins to learn]] that the Peacekeepers are not always as correct as she had believed. [[Zhaan]] is forced to [[That Old Black Magic (Farscape episode)|bring up the dark side]] she had worked to suppress. D'Argo admits he was [[They've Got a Secret|framed for his wife's murder]] and has no idea where his child is. Rygel confronts [[Durka Returns|his former jail keeper]] and torturer. A new character joins the crew, [[Chiana (Farscape)|Chiana]], a teenage thief on the run from her own repressive culture. And Moya herself [[They've Got a Secret|becomes pregnant]] after a Peacekeeper experiment is accidentally activated. Meanwhile, Crichton continues to research the wormhole that brought him here. He is forced to sell what little progress he has made to [[Till the Blood Runs Clear|an alien mechanic]] as payment for repairs on the Farscape module. He is also lured into a wormhole that seems to lead directly back to Earth, only to find [[A Human Reaction|the entire situation]] is a construct created by mysterious aliens called the [[Ancients (Farscape)|Ancients]], who are testing to see if Earth is suitable for colonization. Towards the end of the season, [[A Bug's Life (Farscape episode)|Aeryn is injured]] and the crew is forced to [[Nerve (Farscape)|go to a Peacekeeper base]] to seek medical help. Crichton disguises himself as a Peacekeeper to gain access, but the base's commander, [[Scorpius (Farscape)|Scorpius]], instantly sees through the ruse and imprisons Crichton, calling Crais to come collect him. Under torture, [[The Hidden Memory|Crichton discovers]] that the Ancients placed specialized knowledge of wormholes in his subconscious mindβknowledge that Scorpius is particularly eager to access. The other Moya crew members launch a rescue attempt. Meanwhile, Moya gives birth to her baby, discovering that the child, named [[Talyn]], is a volatile hybrid warship designed by the Peacekeepers instead of the usual peaceful [[Leviathan (Farscape)|Leviathan]]. Upon Crais' arrival, Scorpius takes over his command. [[Family Ties (Farscape episode)|Crais defects to Moya]] to save himself, accepting along the way that Crichton had not meant to kill his brother. But this is only a cover to steal Talyn and escape on his own. Having grown much closer over the course of the season, the crew work together to escape Scorpiusβa plan that ends with Crichton and D'Argo floating in space, running out of air. ===Season Two=== The crew of Moya are now [[Mind the Baby|on the run]] from Scorpius, who wants the wormhole knowledge locked in Crichton's brain for his own purposes. To avoid him the crew are forced into some [[Crackers Don't Matter|unwise decisions]] and alliances, which often result in wacky, [[Out of Their Minds|mind-altering hijinks]] for the crew. Moya encounters an independent [[Sebacean]] colony (Sebaceans being the race from which Peacekeepers are drawn), where the heir to the throne has been genetically poisoned by her younger brother so that she cannot procreate with any Sebacean male, which would allow him to take the throne instead. Recognising Crichton as a possible substitute to ensure the continued independence of her world, the Empress insists he [[Look at the Princess Part I: A Kiss is But a Kiss|marry the Princess]], or else she will hand him over to Scorpius. Terrified of Scorpius after his experiences on the base, Crichton is [[Look at the Princess Part II: I Do, I Think|forced to agree]]. Aeryn, who has been growing attached to Crichton, finds herself jealous. Despite various plots by Peacekeepers and an agent of their enemies the Scarrans, the Moya crew manage to wheedle their way out once again, although the Princess is indeed left pregnant. Meanwhile, D'Argo and Chiana begin a relationship based mostly on sex, and Zhaan is tasked with protecting Moya by the Leviathian's creator-gods. Crichton [[Look at the Princess Part III: The Maltese Crichton|has a chance]] to kill Scorpius, but finds himself unable to do it, blocked by some unknown cause. That cause is revealed when Crichton is [[Won't Get Fooled Again (Farscape episode)|kidnapped by Scarrans]] β during his torture on the base, Scorpius had implanted Crichton with a neural chip that contains a clone of his personality, designed to track down the wormhole knowledge and protect Crichton and Scorpius both until that knowledge is found. Crichton nicknames the clone [[Harvey (Farscape)|Harvey]] and it begins to manifest as hallucinations to him. The half-crazed mystic [[Stark (Farscape)|Stark]] β whom Crichton had met while jailed at the base β returns with information about D'Argo's son, [[Jothee]]. The boy is one of a lot of slaves, and they can rescue him by buying the entire lot. To afford to do that they will need to [[Liars, Guns and Money Part I: A Not So Simple Plan|rob a bank]]. The crew put a plan into action, which is complicated when Scorpius arrives. Scorpius has captured the slaves, but promises to give them Jothee if Crichton will turn himself in. Under intense pressure from the neural clone, Crichton does so. D'Argo is [[Liars, Guns and Money Part II: With Friends Like These|reunited with his son]], and the crew move into action to save Crichton. Even Crais and Talyn [[Liars, Guns and Money Part III: Plan B|return to assist]]. The rescue is successful, although Moya is severely damaged and Crichton is nearly insane from the effects of the neural clone. At the medical colony to fix them both, [[Die Me, Dichotomy|the clone takes control]] of Crichton, seemingly killing Aeryn just as she admits her love for him. With Aeryn dead, Crichton wants the chip removed once and for all. At the same time, Scorpius catches up with them again, killing the doctor and announcing that the chip has completed its work and found the wormhole knowledge. He removes the chip and leaves Crichton incapacitated at the hospital. ===Season Three=== Having survived Scorpius' attack, the doctor [[Season of Death|saves Crichton]] by using biological material from a suitable donor β an alien called an Interon which may be a cousin species to humans. Scorpius fools Crais into thinking he is dead to cover his escape with the neural chip, and Zhaan revives Aeryn, but at the cost of her own life. Feeling guilty over the death of the Interon donor, Crichton has the donor's still living relative brought aboard β an arrogant scientist called [[Jool]]. Investigating another wormhole, Moya [[Self-Inflicted Wounds Part I: Could'a, Would'a, Should'a|crashes into a ship]] belonging to a race called Pathfinders, experts in wormholes. [[Self-Inflicted Wounds Part II: Wait for the Wheel|Zhaan sacrifices]] the last of her life to separate the ships, adding more guilt to Crichton's conscience. He also discovers that despite the chip's removal, the personality clone Harvey remains in his mind. Due to a [[Eat Me (Farscape episode)|harrowing encounter]] with another escaped prisoner with a cloning device, Crichton ends up twinned β a duplicate created so that there are two Crichtons, both equal and original. Talyn is attacked by the new Peacekeeper Commando chasing the crew β [[Xhalax Sun]], Aeryn's mother. To escape her, Moya and Talyn starburst [[List of Farscape episodes#Season 3 (2001β2002)|in opposite directions]], splitting the crew, with one Crichton on each ship. On Moya, tensions rise over D'Argo's [[Suns and Lovers|breakup with]] Chiana, Jool's grating personality, and Crichton's increasing obsession with wormholes. An [[Losing Time|encounter with]] an alien Energy Rider also instils precognitive abilities in Chiana (or possibly only activates already present abilities). Meanwhile, Scorpius [[Incubator (Farscape episode)|tries to access]] the wormhole data, but finds that the chip now contains a neural clone of Crichton, who refuses to allow Scorpius access. On Talyn, Crais explains that Xhalax wants to recapture him as a renegade Peacekeeper, and to recapture Talyn as a powerful warship. After [[Relativity (Farscape episode)|a vicious battle]], Aeryn allows Crais to kill her mother. Crichton discovers that the mechanic, Furlow, has [[Infinite Possibilities Part I: Daedalus Demands|been working on]] the wormhole data he gave her in the first season, and intends to sell it to the Scarrans. With the help of the Ancients, Crichton unlocks the wormhole knowledge just enough to destroy the Scarran ship, but suffers radiation exposure and [[Infinite Possibilities Part II: Icarus Abides|dies in Aeryn's arms]]. When the two crews [[Fractures (Farscape episode)|finally reunite]], Aeryn cannot face the remaining Crichton, and Talyn is [[I-Yensch, You-Yensch|becoming increasingly violent]] and uncontrollable. Crichton resolves to destroy the wormhole information that Scorpius has by [[Into the Lion's Den Part I: Lambs to the Slaughter|pretending to help him]] and then crippling the project from within. In return for his help, Scorpius grants the Moya crew leniency for their crimes. But high-ranking Peacekeeper Commandant [[Grayza]] interferes, claiming that the Moya crew's continued freedom is an embarrassment and Scorpius' own obsession with wormhole tech does not outweigh their criminal record. Crichton finally decides that the only way to end Scorpius' project is to [[Into the Lion's Den Part II: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing|destroy the ship]]. Crais orders Talyn to starburst inside the ship, killing them both and destroying the entire Command Carrier. Believing they are finally free from pursuit, the crew buries Talyn's remains and [[Dog with Two Bones|splits up]] to go their own ways. But at the last second, a strange [[Noranti|old woman]] formerly imprisoned on the Command Carrier informs Crichton that Aeryn is pregnant, and Moya is sucked into a wormhole, leaving Crichton once again alone in space. ===Season Four=== Alone for months, Crichton has had [[Crichton Kicks|nothing to do]] but obsess over Aeryn and wormholes. He finally makes a breakthrough on the latter when he meets a supposed Leviathan specialist, [[Sikozu]], on the run from her employers. When Chiana and Rygel also return, they [[What Was Lost Part I: Sacrifice|go together to Arnessk]], where Jool, D'Argo and the old woman β Noranti β have joined an Interon archaeological dig. They find artefacts that suggest a connection between humans, Sebaceans and Interons. Commandant Grayza interrupts, having taken Scorpius prisoner and "kills" him to show good faith to Crichton. Crichton wants nothing to do with her and [[What Was Lost Part II: Resurrection|escapes]]. Crichton finds that Aeryn has made a deal with Scorpius to [[Promises (Farscape episode)|let him on Moya]] after he saved her life. Crichton keeps Scorpius imprisoned but [[John Quixote|remains paranoid]] that his former enemy is planning something. Despite Aeryn's desire to reconcile, he pushes her away, even going so far as to suppress his feelings with drugs. A Scarran agent [[I Shrink Therefore I Am|invades Moya]], since the Scarrans and Peacekeepers are in an arms race to acquire Crichton's wormhole knowledge. Crichton is instead [[Unrealized Reality (Farscape episode)|kidnapped]] by an Ancient whom he nicknames [[Einstein (Farscape)|Einstein]], who explains to him the catastrophic danger if wormhole tech falls into the wrong hands. Returning from that meeting, the entire Moya crew accidentally [[Terra Firma (Farscape episode)|ends up on Earth]], providing humans with their first confirmed contact with extraterrestrials and alien technology. Crichton is finally home but finds that the world is [[A Constellation of Doubt|too paranoid and distrustful]] to accept his alien friends due to 9/11 and the fact that the US government only wants to monopolize alien tech and knowledge for global domination. He has also been so affected by his experiences that he cannot relax there β a situation not helped when an agent of Grayza attacks and kills several of Crichton's friends. He decides the only thing he can do is leave again but he succeeds in convincing his father to make alien tech and knowledge to be shared equally globally much to the dismay of the US government. The crew comes across a [[Bringing Home the Beacon|secret meeting]] between Grayza and a [[War Minister Akhna|Scarran minister]], at which Grayza sells out D'Argo's people in return for peace. In disrupting the meeting Aeryn is captured. Desperate to rescue her, Crichton promises to give Scorpius the wormhole tech in return for his help. They [[We're So Screwed Part I: Fetal Attraction|infiltrate a Scarran base]] and rescue Aeryn but Scorpius is captured in the attempt. Crichton is happy to leave him there but the neural clone Harvey informs them that Scorpius already has the wormhole tech and may reveal it to the Scarrans under torture. The crew of Moya are forced to launch yet another attempt to either rescue or kill Scorpius. They [[We're So Screwed Part II: Hot to Katratzi|walk into another meeting]] at the Scarrans' most important base, Katratzi, claiming to want to sell the tech to the highest bidder. Instead they start a riot between the Scarrans' various servant races, [[We're So Screwed Part III: La Bomba|blow up the base]] using a nuclear bomb and escape again. The Scarrans launch an attack against Earth β partly in retaliation but also to secure a source of [[Strelitzia]] plants. The plants are vital to a Scarran augmentation process and Crichton had inadvertently revealed to the Scarrans that they can be found on Earth. The peacekeepers promise to protect Earth in exchange for allegiance but Crichton disagrees since it means dragging humanity into perpetual war between two galactic powers. Crichton's only option to [[Bad Timing (Farscape episode)|save his home world]] is to destroy the wormhole that leads there, leaving him stranded in space forever. Before destroying the wormhole, he says goodbye to his father and reveals that he has put a recording on the Moon near the site of the first Moon landing, containing technological data necessary for humanity to reach the stars in the future and protect themselves against alien threat. That done, Scorpius returns to the Peacekeepers and the Moya crew go to the ocean planet Qujaga to recover. While there, Aeryn reveals that the pregnancy β formerly kept in stasis β has now been released and they are going to have a baby. Crichton proposes to her and she accepts. At the last second they are attacked by random aliens, who appear to kill them both. ===The Peacekeeper Wars=== {{main|Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars}} Thinking that Crichton is dead and the wormhole tech gone with him, Scorpius deliberately starts a war with the [[Scarran]]s in the hope that the element of surprise will be on their side. The tactic is unsuccessful, and the Scarrans are on the verge of overwhelming the Peacekeepers. When the Peacekeeper Grand Chancellor considers surrender, Grayza kills him and takes over to make sure the war continues. On Qujaga the aliens, called [[Eidolons (race) (Farscape)|Eidolons]], realise that killing Crichton and Aeryn was a mistake and reanimate them. Scorpius instantly realizes this and abandons the war to track him down, hoping to acquire the wormhole tech once and for all as the only way of stopping the Scarrans. Crichton again refuses. Meanwhile, the crew discover that the Eidolons are in fact a lost colony of the people of Arnessk, and have an innate ability to bring peace to others. If they can find more of their people, they will be able to stop the war. Moya, with Scorpius and Sikozu in tow, heads back to Arnessk, where the ancient people have been revived and are working with Jool. They agree to help, but Scarran [[Emperor Staleek]] attacks, destroying the base and killing Jool. Staleek doesn't want peace β he wants victory. Only one Eidolon remains, who is able to transmit the ability to Stark, and the crew escape the Scarrans with the help of D'Argo's son Jothee. They return to Qujaga to find that the Peacekeeper-Scarran war has reached the planet. Crichton and the others must get through the battle to reach the remaining Eidolons on the planet and pass the techniques of peace to them, all while both sides are still after him for wormhole technology. Once there, Crichton and Aeryn are finally able to marry and Aeryn gives birth, but D'Argo is fatally wounded in the escape and dies offscreen. Realising that neither side will take no for an answer, Crichton returns to Einstein and convinces him to unlock the knowledge, which Crichton then uses to launch a wormhole weapon β a [[black hole]] that will grow and grow until it destroys everything in the universe. Both Grayza and Staleek finally realise that this weapon is too dangerous for anyone to possess, and they agree to a ceasefire. Crichton is able to stop the black hole, but falls into a coma as a result. With the war finally over, the Eidolons help broker a peace treaty between the two sides, but Crichton is still in a coma. He is finally brought out of it when Aeryn places his new baby in his arms. The new family looks out onto the now peaceful galaxy, naming the baby D'Argo in honour of their friend, and promising the universe belongs to him. ==Characters== ===Main characters=== {{main|List of Farscape characters}} [[File:Cast of Farscape season 2.jpg|thumb|From left to right: Bialar Crais, Rygel XVI (front), Chiana, Zhaan, Aeryn Sun, John Crichton, Ka D'Argo.]] * [[Ben Browder]] as [[List of Farscape characters#John Crichton|John Crichton]] β An [[astronaut]] from present-day Earth. At the start of the series, a test flight involving an [[NASA X-38|experimental spacecraft]] of his own design dubbed ''Farscape I'' goes awry, propelling Crichton through a [[wormhole]] to a distant part of the universe. He quickly runs afoul of the Peacekeepers and is recovered by the crew of Moya, a living ship which is the main setting for ''Farscape''. * [[Claudia Black]] as [[Aeryn Sun]] β A renegade [[Farscape Peacekeepers|Peacekeeper]] officer. At the start of the series, she is stripped of her rank and marked for death for spending too much time near a (culturally) "contaminated" being. This decision is further backed later after she protects Crichton. Trained as a soldier since birth, she initially seems to lack any emotions or empathy. Her severance from the Peacekeepers allows Aeryn to discover her compassionate nature. * [[Anthony Simcoe]] as [[Ka D'Argo]] β An ill-tempered Luxan warrior of impressive stature. He was imprisoned by the Peacekeepers for killing his wife, a crime for which he was falsely convicted. He carries a weapon called a Qualta Blade, a [[Arming sword|broadsword]] capable of transforming into a [[laser gun|rifle]]. * [[Virginia Hey]] as [[Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan]] (Main seasons 1β3; guest season 4) β A bald, blue-skinned female who belongs to a plant species, named Delvians. Once a Priestess of her religious order, Zhaan murdered her lover after discovering he was a Peacekeeper collaborator. Regarded as an anarchist by her captors, she was jailed along with D'Argo and Rygel. Like other members of her species, Zhaan is an [[empath]]; she can share "unity" with other beings (two minds in one body, they can share thoughts, sensations...) and also, as a Pa'u, she is able to share pain with another being. * [[Moya (Farscape)|Moya]] β Moya is a Leviathan, the fifth generation of these living ships. She was born in freedom, captured by Leviathan Hunters and sold to the Peacekeepers for them to use as a prison transport. She is a great and powerful ship, with no weapons. In communication with and taken care of by Pilot, the enormous living entity that is symbiotically fused to her, Moya has adjusted to her new inhabitants and has been able to trust them enough to become their home. Like Pilot, she is anxious to serve her crew, but not at the expense of her own agenda. Her natural instincts to protect all life, however, do override her personal fear of pain and suffering. * [[Dominar Rygel XVI]] (operated by [[John Eccleston]], Matthew McCoy, Dave Collins, Sean Masterson, Graeme Haddon and Tim Mieville, voiced by [[Jonathan Hardy]]) β A diminutive creature who was once ruler of the Hynerian Empire. He was [[deposition (politics)|deposed]] by his treacherous cousin and handed over to the Peacekeepers. Rygel is one of two puppet characters who regularly appear on ''Farscape''. When nervous, Rygel flatulates helium β often causing his annoyed crew mates to complain in high-pitched voices. * [[Pilot (Farscape)|Pilot]] (operated by [[John Eccleston]], Matthew McCoy, Dave Collins, Sean Masterson, Graeme Haddon and Tim Mieville, voiced by [[Lani Tupu]]) β A multi-limbed creature who acts as the ship's pilot. He is biologically connected to Moya's nervous system and also serves as her voice to the crew. Pilot is portrayed by an animatronic puppet. * [[Gigi Edgley]] as [[Chiana (Farscape)|Chiana]] (Main seasons 2β4; Recurring season 1) β A mercurial thief and [[con artist]]. She is a [[Nebari (Farscape)|Nebari]], a grey/blue-skinned species whose society is heavily regimented by a governmental body called "The Establishment". Chiana's rebellious nature made her a leading candidate for [[brainwashing|reprogramming]] (euphemistically known as "cleansing"). * [[Paul Goddard (actor)|Paul Goddard]] as [[Stykera|Stark]] (Main season 3; Recurring seasons 1β2, 4) β A Stykera, a specialized subrace of the Banik, who was first encountered by Crichton at the end of the first season. Stark wears a half-mask β strapped to his head by two buckles β of an unidentified metal, covering an incorporeal area that glows dark orange when uncovered, on the right side of his face. He only reveals his face when he is taking away someone's pain or "crossing over" a soul β aiding or comforting a person prior to their death. He is also mentally unbalanced, a trait that gets on the nerves of many on Moya. * [[Lani Tupu]] as [[Bialar Crais]] (Main seasons 2β4; Recurring season 1) β The initial antagonist of the series, a Peacekeeper Captain who relentlessly hunts Moya and its crew. He is driven by the death of his brother, a [[Prowler (Farscape)|prowler]] pilot who accidentally collided with Crichton's ship when it exited the wormhole. At the end of the first season, Crais is usurped by Scorpius. Crais mentally bonds with Moya's offspring Talyn and becomes something of an ally to the crew in later seasons. * [[Wayne Pygram]] as [[Scorpius (Farscape)|Scorpius]] (Main seasons 3β4; Recurring seasons 1β2) β A commander of the Peacekeeper forces. Scorpius is a [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] created from the forced mating of a human-like Sebacean woman and a reptilian Scarran male. At a young age he escaped the Scarrans and, when he learned of his origin, chose to side with the Sebacean Peacekeepers. He is obsessed with extracting the secret of wormhole technology from Crichton, believing it to be crucial to an unavoidable war between the Peacekeeper and Scarran races. His motives are dominated by revenge and personal hatred of the Scarrans, because they kidnapped his mother to be raped by their brutish males for an experiment in cross-species reproduction, and she died as he was born. He was the only surviving child of many attempts with different Sebacean women, and thus has the unique burden of possessing both the Scarrans painfully high body temperature and the Sebaceans sensitivity to heat. After reaching adulthood he had a cooling mechanism implanted in his head, before which he was physically weakened by his own heat. He also has a unique ability to see thermal signatures of other beings which enables him to spot deception and to identify species. ===Recurring characters=== As the series progressed, a revolving cast of characters joined the crew of Moya. * Captain [[Braca|Meeklo Braca]] ([[David Franklin (actor)|David Franklin]]) β Captain Meeklo Braca usually serves as a subordinate to most of the series' villains, acting as second-in-command for Crais, Scorpius, and Grayza at various times. As once described by Crais (although it was clearly intended as an insult), Braca is "a consummate Peacekeeper", performing his duties to the very best of his abilities for whoever his commanding officer is, although his loyalties remain with Scorpius due to a shared view of relations with the Scarrans and contempt for Grayza's misplaced hopes for peace with them. * Commandant [[Mele-on Grayza]] ([[Rebecca Riggs]]) β A new antagonist that debuts in Season 3. She is a manipulative Peacekeeper who aims to put an end to Scorpius' wormhole research. Ruthless and ambitious, she has a gland implanted in her chest that secretes a substance which bends men to her will. * [[Jool]] ([[Tammy MacIntosh]]) β Jool is an orange-haired academic who appears sporadically throughout seasons three and four. When frightened or enraged, her hair becomes red and her screams can melt metal. * [[Sikozu]] ([[Raelee Hill]]) β Sikozu is a brilliant Kalish who joins the crew at the beginning of the fourth season. Hard-edged and dangerous, she gradually allies herself with Scorpius. In "The Peacekeeper Wars" she is discovered to be collaborating with the Scarrans. * Noranti (played by [[Melissa Jaffer]]) β Noranti (Utu Noranti Pralatong) debuts in "Dogs with Two Bones". where she suddenly appears amongst the crew as a mysterious and [[Eccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]] [[refugee]] that escaped to [[Moya (Farscape)|Moya]] along with an unidentified group of others as a [[Peacekeepers (Farscape)|Peacekeeper]] Command Carrier was being destroyed. The "Old Woman", as she is called, is a [[Traskan]], and little is known of her past before she joined the crew. Initially appearing to Crichton and Chiana as a grateful cook, she later describes herself as a "doctor, instructor, and among many other disciplines β¦ negotiator". She is basically portrayed as an accomplished [[herbalist]]. Although her skills are sometimes not quite as successful as she would like, she does manage to come to the crew's rescue with odd potions and powders on many occasions. At times, she seems to have her own agenda, although what that agenda may be is never quite made clear. At 293 cycles (years) old, she sometimes appears to the others as being slightly [[Dementia|senile]], and is often referred to as "Grandma" by Crichton. She was featured throughout Season 4 of Farscape, as well as being in "[[Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars|The Peacekeeper Wars]]", where she realizes the existence of more Eidolons and convinces Crichton to seek to reawaken their powers to help end the war. An alternative reality version of Noranti appeared in the Season 4 episode, "Unrealized Reality", and was portrayed by [[Gigi Edgley]]. ==Reception== ===Awards and distinctions=== Between 2000 and 2002, ''Farscape'' won three [[Saturn Award]]s for [[Saturn Award for Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series|Best Syndicated/Cable TV Series]] and one [[Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television|Best TV Actor]] (Browder).

''Farscape'', like the later ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' and ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' (2004), was a spaceship-centered show that sought to distance itself from the ''Star Trek'' formula. ''Farscape'' featured a main character who constantly riffed on pop culture and a diverse cast of criminal fugitives; the series began as relatively unconnected episodes, but in later seasons transitioned into a complex plot with a dense mythology. Some reviewers, such as ''[[The A.V. Club]]'', praised the animatronic puppetry.<ref>{{cite news |title=Farscape: The Complete Series |url=https://www.avclub.com/farscape-the-complete-series-1798170652 |access-date=22 March 2021 |work=[[The A.V.

The [[DVD region code#2|Region 2]] and [[DVD region code#4|Region 4]] box sets contain Seasons 1β4 as well as the ''Peacekeeper Wars'' television film. ===Blu-ray release=== {{unreferenced section|date=March 2014}} All four seasons were released on Blu-ray in North America and Europe on 15 November 2011 by New Video/A&E. The four seasons were released in a choice of complete boxed set or individual seasons in North America, and as a boxed set only in Europe. As the original 35mm prints used to create the series are missing, 576i/25 frames per second PAL master videotapes were used as the source material to create the transfer. Software algorithms were used to upscale the standard definition image to Blu-ray's 1080p resolution specification. The audio on the Blu-ray release is uncompressed DTS Master Audio, improving on the previous compressed Dolby Digital tracks on DVD. Like the previous DVD release, owing to licensing issues, the set does not include ''Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars''. As with the U.S. DVD reissue in 2009, there are 31 commentary tracks and all the special features were carried over from the previously released DVD editions. The Blu-ray release also includes a recently filmed exclusive HD featurette, "Memories of Moya", featuring interviews with the cast and production staff as they reminisce about their time on ''Farscape''.

Season 3 was added in March 2008, with Season 4 following in May. The episodes can be purchased individually or as entire seasons. The ''Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars'' miniseries has yet to be made available through iTunes. Beginning in January 2011, seasons one through four were also available on the [[Netflix]] "[[Watch Instantly]]" service. {{as of|2013|January|1}}, seasons one through four were no longer available on Netflix, as they unexpectedly did not renew. However, from 11 November 2013 through 5 November 2016, all four seasons were once again available for [[online streaming]]. The miniseries ''Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars'' is also available from Netflix on DVD. {{as of|2014|February|2|df=US}}, [[Hulu]] offered two of the four seasons on their streaming service as well. As of August 2023, all four seasons as well as ''Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars'' are available on various streaming platforms like Tubi, YouTube PrimeTime, Xumo TV & Peacock . They are also continually broadcast on the Farscape channel on [[Sling TV]], Shout Factory TV and others. The running order of the first half of the first season on Netflix is different from the DVD release. While there are times when shows are broadcast in a different order from what was intended and they then try to correct many years later for the sake of building up stories and characters, but for continuity, it would seem that the DVD releases are proper as opposed to Netflix. One specific instance is that D'Argo's Qualta blade is transformed as a munitions weapon by the second or third episode from the Netflix release, yet several episodes later, that was revealed for the first time that it had that ability. ===Webisodes=== On 15 July 2007, it was announced that Farscape would return in ten [[webisode]] installments. The episodes are expected to be a few minutes long each and may eventually be broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel. The webisodes were to have been launched as early as fall 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?date=07/15/07&id=20070715scifi02|title=SciFi Channel Press Release}}</ref> In an interview with ''[[TV Guide]]'', Brian Henson stated that the webisodes will be 3β6 minutes long and may feature John and Aeryn's son, D'Argo Sun-Crichton.

DeCandido]], ''Dark Side of the Sun'' by [[Jim Mortimore|Andrew Dymond]], and ''Ship of Ghosts'' by [[David Bischoff]]. A fourth novel was commissioned to be written by DeCandido but did not surface after the show's cancellation. [[Scott K. Andrews]]' ''Uncharted Territory: An Unauthorised and Unofficial Guide To Farscape'' (Virgin Publishing 2002, {{ISBN|0-7535-0704-8}}) covered Farscape's first three seasons exhaustively. Paul Simpson wrote ''The Illustrated Farscape Companion'' series for Titan Books, one book per season (Book 1 with David Hughes; Books 2 and 3 with photographer Ruth Thomas) with exclusive official content. ''The Creatures of Farscape: Inside Jim Henson's Creature Shop'', released in 2004, offered a colorful look inside the famous creature shop that created the stunning array of creatures and make-up effects. It includes previously unseen and behind the scenes images, exclusive contributions from the show's stars and make-up artists, and a foreword by executive producer Brian Henson. ''Farscape Forever! Sex, Drugs and Killer Muppets'' released 28 September 2005; in which Science fiction and fantasy authors analyse several aspects of the TV series. Contributors include Martha Wells on characters Crichton and D'Argo's buddy relationship, P. N. Elrod on the villains she loves to hate, and Justina Robson on sex, pleasure, and feminism. Topics range from a look at how Moya was designed and an examination of vulgarity and bodily functions to a tourist's budget guide to the ''Farscape'' universe. Shortly after season 3 began airing, [[Titan Magazines]] released a ''Farscape'' magazine. Available bi-monthly, the magazine was published from April/May 2001 through the 12th issue of April/May 2003. The magazine had a in-depth material, including interviews with the cast and crew, behind the scenes information on many episodes, original fiction (by O'Bannon, DeCandido, [[Greg Cox (writer)|Greg Cox]], [[John Kenneth Muir]], and others), and a regular column by David Kemper. There were two versions of the magazine produced each issue, with the only difference being the front cover, and the magazine also had two special issues{{emdash}}a season 3 special (issue 7), and the final issue (issue 12) containing an episode guide for the four seasons to date, as well as sketches for ideas and the ''Horizons'' fiction. ==="Horizons" fiction=== In the final issue of its run, the ''Farscape'' magazine published a piece of fiction written by series creator [[Rockne S. O'Bannon]]. Set a long time after the end of the fourth season, this details the subsequent adventures of the Moya crew. Since "Horizons" was written before the ''[[Peacekeeper Wars]]'' miniseries, there are some [[canon (fiction)|plot inconsistencies]]. ===Comics=== ====Wildstorm Productions==== [[File:Farscape War Torn 01 cover.jpg|thumb|upright|''Farscape: War Torn'' first issue]] During 2002, [[Wildstorm Productions]] produced a two-part ''Farscape'' comic entitled "War Torn", with the first part available in April and the second in May. The comics featured two stories, each spanning both issues. "War Torn", the main story, featured the Moya crew becoming ensnared in a war between two planets over a third, and took up roughly three quarters of the comic. "Fourth Horseman β featuring Chiana" was a Chiana-only story as she came across old friends and foes on the run from the Nebari. Both stories seem to have been set during Season 2. The second issue also included a double-page spread of some of the preliminary sketches. ====BOOM!
