Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars
#like why was farscape able to pull off homages like this with such fucking aplomb#when other SF shows do it and look like pandering cgi zombie vultures#it's because the homages were /part of it/!#when we get these visualizations of john's decaying brain they're set on stages like this one#because the scifi heroes that came before him are his guides#and the dark cosmic joke that premises the whole series is that#he's in a scifi universe that doesn't adhere to scifi logic#consequences carry over from one episode to the next#no federation comes to save you; alien women want to have sex with you in nightmares#no one speaks your language or follows your rules#there's no God no singularity no monolith#no true vision of the future#just some poor bastard hallucinating the 2001 louis xiv bedroom#'this is my world meat. you're just walking through it for a very long time.'#mankind's greatest contribution to the absurd
