Yesterday I broke a major rule: I bought myself something right before Christmas. My friend Joshua told me that amazon.com had dropped the price for the complete Farscape series down to $58. This is a pretty awesome deal, as the individual seasons hover around $30 each (the first one is $45). At first I was going to hold off on it until post-holidays, but the more I thought about it, the less I liked the idea; if I were to go to amazon.com in January and see the price raised back up to nearly $150, I’d kick myself.
I watched Farscape years ago when it was first aired, but I’m fairly positive I didn’t see all of the episodes. What I did see, I’ve completely forgotten, so I’m looking forward to watching it again. It should be interesting for another reason: I’m about halfway through season 8 of Stargate SG-1. Assuming I start Farscape shortly after I get it, I’ll soon be watching Ben Browder and Claudia Black switch back and forth between their Farscape and SG-1 roles. Whether mass confusion will ensue, we’ll see.

Several episodes in, some quick comments.
1) Those D.I.D.s or whatever that flit about the ship look like Roombas with worm lights attached.
2) The Ben Browder characters on both shows seem pretty similar so far–leading man trying to hold together disparate elements and cracking wise while doing so. Claudia Black’s are quite different, though.

I’ve not reached season 9 of SG-1 yet, so I can’t comment on the similarity of Browder’s characters.
