i love you fictional vehicles that become a main character in the story by extension, i love you ships with iconic names that turn into a home for the characters, i love you humanized modes of transportation with imagined personality quirks, i love you sapient starships with real personality quirks, i love you inherent human ability to emotionally bond with literally anything

Farscape premiered on Sci-Fi Channel on 19 March 1999. Starring Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Virginia Hey, Anthony Simcoe, Gigi Edgley, Lani John Tupu, Jonathan Hardy, Tammy Macintosh, and Wayne Pygram, the show ran for four seasons and concluded with a two-part miniseries in 2004.

"My name is John Crichton, an astronaut. A radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole. Now I'm lost in some distant part of the universe on a ship – a living ship, full of strange alien life forms. Help me. Listen, please. Is there anybody out there who can hear me? I'm being hunted by an insane military commander. I’m doing everything I can. I'm just looking for a way home..."

Happy 25th Anniversary, Farscape! 💖

One thing I really like about John Crichton is that he is 100% willing to kill anyone that tries to kill him, his ex-fascist lady love, his not-a-Klingon platonic life partner, his blue mom, his blue stepdaughter, his aristocratic Muppet frenemy, his blue tentacled Muppet pal or the giant whale starship they all travel in, especially if that person is Captain Ahab in space or a half-lizard leather fetishist space Nazi.

I was reading a Farscape fic, and the characters had to move from tier 9 to tier 10. And I don't know why it never occurred to me before but with all the running around Moya that the crew does, we never see any stairs. They're running through a hallway, and they say "I'll meet you on tier x", and then they meet up there without any stairs in between. Of course in the real world they just didn't build that type of set, but it's more fun to imagine the in universe implications.

Maybe Moya does have stairs that we just never see. She is a huge ship after all, and even with all the running around I doubt we've seen everything. Maybe our crew runs through the hallway, comm each other when they're about to reach the stairs, and the other person replies when they run down the stairs. Or maybe since she's a living ship and they grow according to the needs of the passengers, she grows stairs at convenient times then reabsorbs them.

There are ladders that span 2 tiers, usually so the crew can unplug cables or plug new cables in. They usually are short ladders, so they definitely don't reach very many tiers. Maybe all the running around is to get to the rooms that have ladders in them so they can quickly get down then head to the next ladder room. I imagine someone who grew up on the leviathan would know the whole ladder system intuitively, while most people might have some common routes memorized.

A lot of the material is kept in crates, and pushed around like in Crackers Don't Matter. Ladders alone would be incredibly inefficient, so perhaps there's a series of ramps, and when we see characters running they are on a slight slope. I think given the curve of the hallways these ramps could be in the front of the ship, with some more on the side. They probably spiral in on themselves, and you have to keep turning back on yourself to get up and down.

My favorite idea is a combo of ramps and ladders, where if they are near a ladder they will use it, otherwise they'll use the ramps because it is very easy to get lost in the corridors. The growing stairs idea is fun too, but if something went wrong with Moya, as it often does, it would make it really difficult to get around. It would be very fun to play hide and seek on a Leviathan.

I’m a little over halfway into Farscape season 1. I’m convinced now that this show was created because the creators thought the sci-fi genre wasn’t sexy/lewd enough.

I mean…one character had an orgasm from exposure to sunlight. John and D’Argo had wet dreams induced through alien mind control. The very necessary scene where Aeryn confirmed she was wearing John’s underwear by reading the Calvin Klein tag. John and Aeryn nearly having sex because they thought they were gonna die.

It’s gotten to the point where every scene is now coming off as, “this feels a bit sexual”. For example, there was a scene where John was feeding Chiana through the cell doors. It was just eating food, but the way Chiana was eating it felt suggestive.
