Sweet! Cannot wait for this!

Seeing this just reminds me fo why I found Farscape unwatchable. Their idea of aliens was to use big puppets, which looked rediculous to have human characters interacting with large puppets.

What’s the appeal of Farscape? I really don’t understand.

@ TimCallahan: Muppets meets Flash Gordon with a healthy splash of fake physics!

During the “animated episode” Crichton says “man, I love science fiction”, which to me summed up the series in a lot of ways. It was a show that revelled in what it was doing, with a sense of fun that a number of shows have tried and failed to achieve (see the abysmal LEXX, or any attempt by Andromeda to inject humour into an episode).
If the puppet thing is really that hard to get past, then the problem is yours. Basically, if the whole “puppets make it look like a kid’s show to me” is something you can’t shake, you have basically the same problem as those who say “when I see comics, or any combination of words and illustration like them, I see something that can only be for children.”
Give me a puppet over a CGI creature any day.
That said, you really have to catch the right episodes to start getting into it, and luck is usually against those being the first ones a person sees. There are a smattering of dud episodes that can really put one off, and that somehow seem to get rerun the most, and always seem to be on right after I’ve convinced someone to check the show out…
