Just got through watching all four seasons of Farscape

[freebird73717]

Just got through watching all four seasons of Farscape on netflix streaming. Love the series. Just watched the last episode and saw the cliffhanger and was like "What the Hell?!". Yep. That's right. A freaking cliffhanger. I'm thinking "I hope they didn't just leave it like this".

So off to do some googling. Hmm. A mini-series called The Peacekeeper Wars. YES! From what I've read it's supposed to tie up loose ends. So now I've just got to find a place where I can get this DVD as netflix doesn't have it.

If all else fails I'll just check ebay or amazon. I've GOT to find out what happens.

-side note
It was interesting to watch Ben Browder and Claudia Black play characters different from the ones on stargate. Honestly I liked them on Farscape better than Stargate. Not saying I didn't like stargate. Just liked their character development on Farscape better.

Funny I'm flip the side of that. I only saw them on Stargate and liked those characters.

When I had netflix I watched the pilot of Farscape and couldn't finish it. It just wasn't for me. I don't know what it was. It just didn't click for me. I don't want to detract from anybody who likes it. I know there is plenty I like that people would go wtf????

Edit - freebird if you get a chance go on youtube and search for the cutscenes for uncharted 2 and 3. The claudia black character - chloe I think - is great. Its almost like she is doing her Vala character but in an indiana jones type setting - thats what uncharted really is like in case you didn't know.

[freebird73717]

The first few episodes weren't that great but by the middle of the first season things really started getting good.

I'll usually give a new show about 3 or 4 episodes before I give up on it.

I still like "Cam Mitchell" and "Vala". Great characters. Just liked the "Chriton" and "Aeryn" characters a little better. Still a huge Stargate fan. I've seen pretty much every SG1 eposide there is and still have my DVR set to record it when it comes on.

I'll see if I can find the youtube clips you mentioned.

Do uncharted 2 first. Uncharted 3 is fun but not as well written or presented as 2 (close but not the same).

Its not just me talking it up - read the reviews online. Its one of the few games out there where watching the cutscenses is almost worth the price of the game without playing it.

edit - fyi claudia black wasn't in uncharted 1 so only do that if you're interested in the series and don't own a ps3.

edit 2 - @freebird - doesn't netflix have all the stargates? - streaming at least. I thought they had all stargates and atlani? (Ie stargate atlantis )

[freebird73717]

Yeah I don't own a ps3. Just a Wii and that's more for my kids.

And yeah they do have all the StarGates available for streaming. I've been using netflix streaming lately for trying out series that I've never watched before. Thats why I started watching Farscape. Never seen it when it aired. I even watched The Walking Dead (and I'm not a horror fan) and actually enjoyed it. Can't wait for them to put up season two on streaming.
Next on my list is Firefly, Primevil, and Torchwood.

@freebird - you like xfiles? I've tried but not very hard to get the "lone gunmen" spinoff that lasted for about 10 episodes if I remember. They were the newspaper conspiracist geeks that helped out mulder and scully. - it did hit dvd but I'm sure its long since out of print. Probably an ebay purchase someday.

While you're at it you might look into surface (nbc series from a few years ago) and threshold (brent spiner was in it - fox if I remember right). Both were pretty good but never lasted.

Next on my list is Firefly, Primevil, and Torchwood.

Another series you may be interest in is Sanctuary by Damian Kindler if you have not seen it yet. It is some what a crossed between Torchwood and Underworld. Netflix did have it for streaming awhile back. I do not know if they still have it for streaming now but you may want to check it out.

If you liked Farscape, you might like Lexx or Cleopatra 2525 or even Crusade

@freebird - don't know if you ever got around to it but if you haven't (uncharted 2 cutscenes strung together):

Its the whole set of cutscenes strung together. And in 16x9 no less .

Its a real shame they don't have surround sound on youtube. You think dolby digital plus could be coming to youtube eventually? THat would be great

edit - fyi it starts out with a bit of a flashback sequence - its a bit more clear when playing the game but obviously since the train is on a snowy mountain and the next scene is on a beach its obviously not linear at this point - but you get to a point later in the game where it is a straight up linear sequence not flashbacking.

Just looked at Netflix. They do have Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars in DVD format.

[freebird73717]

I meant on streaming. I only have the streaming package. I got it from a local video store. Ended the series nicely. Will check out all the recommendations you guys have given. Thanks!
