People who love cold weather are fucking weird. You like to freeze? You like to shiver?? You like when you take a step outside and the air stings your skin???

Farscape – 1.05: Back and Back and Back to the Future

I’ve been trying to think of a quick way to summarise why Farscape still hits me so much harder than other shows, despite the fact that there are “objectively better” sf shows out there nowadays in this age of prestige television. It’s surprisingly difficult to pin it down, though.

It definitely had good writing, a lot of the time - and astonishingly great writing occasionally, certainly more frequently than most other shows. It had great acting from all the main cast, and from many of the guests. Fantastic practical effects, of course (this was the Henson Company, after all!), and CGI that still, mostly, holds up better than anything else from that period (and even many things more recent). It had consistently inventive, intelligent direction from a rotating crew of directors, many of whom had cut their teeth on motion pictures. It had some of the boldest, most surprising, yet consistent character development I’ve seen on TV, and it had what’s still, probably, the best romance ever seen on science fiction television.

Yet I suspect none of these, and not even the sum of these, is the main reason for my continued love of this show.

Farscape felt - still feels - so much more alive than any of its contemporaries - and, for that matter, than any latter-day stuff I’ve seen, too, no matter how polished, complex, and well acted. It had enormous amounts of heart.

It felt, and feels, like so much more than the sum of its parts.

Maybe you really can sense it when all the people who worked on something really, truly loved it.
