What Is ‘Farscape’?
Created byRockne S. O’Bannonand produced by the Jim Henson Company,Farscapedetailed the adventures of John Crichton, a human astronaut who gets accidentally transported to a distant region of space. There, he ends up as a crew member on the living ship Moya with a collection of bizarre alien renegades, all trying to find their own way home, as well. Unfortunately, they’re all being pursued by the merciless Peacekeepers and their obsessive commander Scorpius (Wayne Pygram), who want Moya themselves. Overcoming their initial distrust of each other, the crew, which includes the honorable warrior Ka D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe), the priestess Zhaan (Virginia Hey), and the rebellious Chiana (Edgely) becomes a team — and Crichton and the ex-Peacekeeper Aeryn Sun even have one ofsci-fi TV’s best romances.
Speaking to Collider’sMaggie Lovitt,in celebration of the 25th anniversary, Browder noted the heart of the series was always rooted in the found family-style crew of the Moya. He said:
“Farscape was always really a story about a family, about a group of people who are engaged in the epic process of trying to live and make a life that’s worth living, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t continue.”
