Kitt, as I was lying in my bed last night, your face (that I've never seen), suddenly came to me and I found myself suddenly thinking about you... Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler | | because I saw the SupeBoys (in their disguise as civilian actors) on the The Rookie on my bedroom TV and I thought, "Kitt is gonna love this!" |
I agree....cartoon Rygel was a hoot! Did you notice how much Rygel himself and his now flattened moustache and some of the sets and costumes had been downgraded? I know there's a scene in one of those finale movies, Rygel gets tossed or something and he looks more like a cheap felt carnaval prize than a Dominaire of billions of subjects! You'll also see some new characters with costumes that obviously came out of a much lower budget. But....I don't care - it's still Farscape even if Chiana's wig does look like a dead opossum!
Did you also find that even though Zhann was a favorite character that the show itself didn't seem to suffer from her loss? Jool was completely irritating (so opposite from Z) but still somehow won me over.

Lol, I wonder what I looked like . I am gonna love it!!
Yes, the make up was a lot worse, even just the simpler ones like the old lady weren’t as good. Poor D’Argo’s neck was one rubbery patch that moved in a block as he turned! I guess they couldn’t use the originals and had to make cut price versions.
I was sad to see Zhann go, but yes, I didn’t really miss her. And Jool was way too loud, although she grew on me too. I was also never too keen on the girl who came at the end, with the multi-barreled names. Never sure she could be trusted.
Well I watched the final movie last night. A few tears in the middle (although I was expecting a sacrifice would happen) and again at the end, but I loved how that just resolved itself. They can all live happily ever after in peace .
I’m assuming it was cancelled because of ratings, but I’m really glad they gave it a proper chance to wrap everything up in a really satisfying way. Not often that they do that.
Great series, I’m still surprised I missed it at the time, and thank you for recommending it  .

You're welcome!
" I was also never too keen on the girl who came at the end, with the multi-barreled names."
In my mind her name was "Sudoku". Yeah, she was a puzzling character.
There is another sci-fi series that was so over the top (and had a slight reminiscence of FS) it surprised me every week (the bathroom scenes were a bit strange)....but there were a couple of flaws that might stop you from seeing it.
It's called "Lexx" and it's set on a living spaceship. The crew is made up of an idiot that kind of fell into the job as captain, the US president who is more stupid than the idiot captain, the sexy dead soldier with big hair, the sex slave, and of course the robot head. And other characters come and go.
"Season One" was 4 TV movies and they only had a couple of characters that make up the whole series and one of those TV movie characters is played by a totally different actor and it takes place in the living spaceship. I found the "S01 movie season" to be a hard watch. It confused me and I kept falling asleep while viewing them. Those 4 movies were the set-up of the predicament the serial episode characters are in. From what I remember, the TV series (s02-s04) is quite watchable even if you never saw the 4 S01 movies. When I saw this on the sc-fi channel, I don't think I saw "s01" at that time. I just happened across the show while channel flipping and I just happened to stop on the beginning episode on SO2. I didn't even realize I missed a 4 movie season 1. This was before TIVO and smart cable boxes that didn't have extra background info. I only knew what TV Guide told me.
Anyhow, you might like it or might try it and lose all respect for my sense of fun entertainment.
Here's an 11 min summary of S01, made by a guy who had not yet seen more than S01....he didn't know how different S02-S04 was.
I hope it's accessible in a world that's far, far away, one known as England.
Lexx - The Weirdest Sci-Fi Show I've Ever Seen

----------
Of course, Lexx doesn't hold a candle to Supernatural or Farscape, but I haven't seen it in decades and I still think about it sometimes....weird scenes more than plot lines.
If Supe and Lexx had done a crossover you can be sure that Lexx's dead guy, KAI, would've been dispatched by the SupeBpys in a second....by Dean of course.

Funnily enough, I was looking through some of those "weird shows you must see" lists the other day and Lexx was on there. It looks and sounds a little bizarre but I'll maybe give the first movie a go, and if it's awful switch to S02 and try that. The video does play here, and the show is on Amazon, so I can easily give it a go sometime soon  .
What a strange way of doing things, to start off with movies. Particularly when it was... unusual to start with .
Obligatory Supernatural comment :
Misha Collins posted the following two shorts on youtube the other day. In case you haven't been obsessively following him for the last few years like ~someone~ has he's still kind of delightfully awkward and corny, although he is quite political these days.
The first one is him talking about having found an old movie he was in (he's doing a watch party at a later date, but this is worth watching anyway because he's so silly):
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kHRTOXsslvY
And then this one is a clip of him in the movie.
1) THE ACCENT!!!!!
2) He is astonishingly good looking in this, in a very pretty kind of way. Eyes and lips. Nothing. I didn't say anything or feel anything.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fRuP26em9VM
I suggest they are worth a watch  .

Did you ever see him on Nip\Tick? He had an embarrassing issue and here it is. If you're at work be sure to listen to this clip with headphones!! nsfw

I just ran across this other clip of Jensen and Misha:

One (at least) of the conventions had J&J joking about Misha's yoga, so I wonder if he could actually do that, lol. Somehow it wouldn't surprise me. (The yoga part, not the other part, although that also wouldn't surprise me!)
The resume sounds typical Misha dorkiness! At one point J&J teased him for having gone to some sort of drama camp, rather than more formal training, so I think there was a probably a lot of padding required! Plus he had a very untraditional upbringing, where at times he lived in a tent in the woods and stole food to live off. He probably didn't have many of the extracurriculars most kids have.
You're a Texan aren't you (or weren't you)... what did you think of Misha's drool in that movie clip? Sounded really good to me, but then I only watch Texans on tv .

"You're a Texan aren't you (or weren't you)... what did you think of Misha's drool in that movie clip? Sounded really good to me, but then I only watch Texans on tv :-)."
Yes I was a Texan but I turned in my resignation papers at age 12 when I left and never looked back.
Huh? "Misha's drool"?, "movie clip"?
I went back and watched both of those links again and neither drool or a movie clip made an appearance.

Ooops, drawl... but I meant the clip from my post above yours, this one:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fRuP26em9VM
It sounds good to me, but I don't know much .

Yeah he was doing a pretty good accent as a redneck educationally challenged country Texan, AKA the folks that lived in the town that we lived 5 miles from.
As I recall, I believe we called the accent of Louisiana and thereabouts a "drawl". We called our own accent a "twang".

I can understand leaving or never looking back. Although Austin, where J&J live, seems much better culturally, although of course I think it was 110degF for two months solid last year which would certainly put me off...
Misha seems exceptionally good with accents in general. And twangs .

There's a brief nod to Supernatural in the latest Rookie episode.

I am looking forward to it, Kappy! Here (UK) we are a few weeks behind, so I have to wait!
