timelord81r Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Hi, finally getting round to watching farscape, got the definitive collection for xmas, but I have a question, the eps, well at least on disc 1 are not in the same order as they were broadcast, and I was wondering if any fan on here knew weather there was a reason or not? should i look up the eps and watch in braodcast order or the dvd collection order? many thanks R p.s just re-watched the pilot, much better than i remembered, looking forward to the rest of the series that ive never seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi13 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Sometimes the broadcast order can differ from the planned order. The dvd order runs correctly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Simon is right, the DVDs have the episodes in the correct order. I got the same set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi13 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have watched so many series of programmes on TV and then got the box set only to find that the broadcast was out of order. Watching the correct order often makes more sense as it is how it was meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timelord81r Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 cheers guys, thats what ive been doing, was not sure though as i checked out some of the commentaries first just the first few mins to see who was on there as there is no booklet, and one ep that was i think no 5 on the set they introduced as 2 and on the episode list online its was like ep 3 or something lol. I really enjoyed the pilot alot but the next 3 eps, humm, a bit dull (script/story wise) overall, hoping it gets better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi13 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) You cannot judge Farscape by a few episodes. It is a marathon voyage. Ignore online episode guides, the dvds are the way to go. Broadcast dates often change due to circumstance. Some episodes never make it to air as they may offend people if broadcast. I remember around the time of 9/11 that so many shows had rearranged broadcast schedules because the Towers were in the skyline.

timelord81r Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) ok im on disc 3 of series 1 now, went back to it the other day after putting it to one side after xcmas. watched I guess another 6 or so episodes, started getting really really good, but the last couple have been a bit tedious. but overall really enjoying it so far. it does remind me of andromeda some times though, were they on the same time? or fs first. the "muppets" and full alien costumes which back in the 90s put me off a bit, I actuallty enjoy it now, such a relief from all the cgi characters of recent years.

Jackewing98 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 For me personally, I found the last four or five episodes of series 1 are the most enjoyable, from then onwards it only gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 it does remind me of andromeda some times though, were they on the same time? or fs first. Farscape started about a year earlier if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 it does remind me of andromeda some times though, were they on the same time? or fs first.Farscape started about a year earlier if I remember correctly.A quick Google reveals that you are correct, of course , 1999-2003 and 2000-2005 respectively.

Queen_Sindel Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Peacekeeper Wars is the conclusion to the show. And I think it was an absolutely fitting conclusion. Without revealing too much, the actual show ends with the cliffhanger from hell. Honestly, when I watched that last episode you heard me wailing in the next village which is over a mile away. It was a relief when confirmation came in that Peacekeeper Wars was on the way, and in my eyes they wrapped everything up brilliant for the short amount of time they had.

timelord81r Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 does Alyssa-Jane Cook who played Gilina reappear? really liked her character from the tech girl episode Peacekeeper Wars is the conclusion to the show.

Queen_Sindel Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yes, Gilina will return. In case my replies do seem cut short, I am just trying to avoid spoilering someone by accident. I am not sure how much detail you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how much detail you want. not too much lol, I sorta know small bits from bit and bobs over the years (like a certain someone being pregnant near the end and another character leaving cos of health reasons) but not much so want to keep it close to that way lol. and see the series from a fresh glad she will be back, she is gorgeous ;-) now she would a good con guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

power543 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Farscape is one of my top Sci Fi shows, a great combination of humor, science/tech and action. Brilliant characters, cool ships and the world renowned Pulse Pistol! (i love my pulse pistol) and who can forget Crichton Season 2-peace keeper wars leather outfit (which i have) amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
