I have discovered, and this has been confirmed by many people who i know watch it, Yoshi included, that the big problem with farscape was that the plot was very complex. way
too complex, in fact, when looked at from a point of view. the thing is, the plot was so bloddy complex by the third season that they couldn't get any more viewers. I stopped watching for a few months into the thrid season. I came back about 3/4 through it, and it took me about four or five episodes to get the plot straight, and i didn't know the whole story of what happened until i saw the reruns. and that s a guy who watched it religiously for the first two seasons. newcomers had almsot no hope of getting into it unless yhey watched for about half a season without knowing what was going on, and that's not what many people would want to do. was it worth it? in my opinion, frelling yes, but people didn't see it like that. If they didn't see it as good the first few episodes, what would make them want to stay?
because of this, farscape couldn't get any new viewers, and so it was doomed to cult slassic status (TV guide recently rated it about the #5 top cult classic, i believe), and, unfortunatly, the production values were so incredibly high that it couldn't work with only a cult following, and so they had to canel it.
My point in all this is, please, if you've only tried it for a few episodes, don't trash it as bad. It may be you're just not getting half of the episodes. If they were to show it again from the beginning, i think almost all of you would love the series, as you could follow the plot from the beginning. However, until they run it on friday prime again, i have a feeling that's not going to work. so,
