In reply to Seph. I suppose because it's nonsensical in the same way Narbonic is- everything is perfectly (il)logical right up until John's concious decapitated head is bobbing around in acid. Still way better than Firefly and its weird Madonna-whore complexy view on sex workers, blatant racist undertones, and uncritically reheated Western cliches.

Farscape is awesome! What are you talking about?

I think the only thing wrong with the first season is that you can't tell that the episodes aren't all one-offs, because their consequences haven't started coming back yet. All of the awesome things in the first season wouldn't be particularly noteworthy without the rest of the series.

I must take issue with the implication that the first season isn't 'good stuff'. For one - Sinclair was a more interesting character than Sheridan. Also [SPOILER], I thought De'Lenn lost something when she became part human. Plus, IIRC, both Zathrus and Morden are introduced in the first season.

^_^ When people ask me what Babylon 5 is like, I often direct them to Tom Smith’s “Five Years”, a filk explaining the plot to the tune of Barenaked Ladies’s Stunt. It does a pretty good job of summing it all up.Video version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHpMAubwfQgAnnotated lyrics at http://www.tomsmithonline.com/lyrics/five_years_annot.htm

I thought "Farscape" was those metal stairs on the outside of old buildings.

(TUNE: "I Saw Her Standing There", The Beatles)

She had Dave Barker sacked!
But she then gave him back,
Back to the Daves ... just so they'd reinstate me!
I've got to do something for her ...
Here's a Farscape cal-en-dar!

I just can't believe
She'd let Barker leave!
To kill that man, I know she wants it greatly!
Now I will show I adore her ...
With a Farscape cal-en-dar!

Well, I know it's dumb,
But my brain in numb
That she did this thing for me-ee!

Someday, you can bet,
Dave Barker she'll get!
Revenge will be .. great and eviscerate-y!
She knows I owe her much more, sir,
Than a Farscape cal-en-dar!

Daves? Revenge? Pah!

(Dave should also consider that they are re-enlisting him by virtue of Klingon Promotion.)

...and to ensure Dave Barker's cooperation, Narbonic Labs would keep his 7-year-old daughter hostage. The little girl would proceed to wreak havoc all through the labs, getting into Storage Room C, releasing the sentient meme into the Internet ... all of which would cause Helen to adore her, so she'd mold the little darling into her own protege ...

Points to you if you figured out I was going for "Little Miss Barker".

@Tiff - Daves are not Daleks.
