Farscape is the only scifi show out of SG-1, BSG, all Trek that felt like a chore to watch, it feels like someone's over-sexualized fantasy world they thought up at 13, it feels like it was written by aliens whose understanding of human behavior came from a few random books and music videos.

What kind of autism leads you to Markov-chain random insults together to stir up shit?

So SG-1 is better than Farscape yes? Farscape is shit

The Stargate represents the anus. SG1 really stands for Sodomy Gateway 1. You really don't want to go down that road.

But you think SG-1 is a good show right? Maybe you watched it as a teenager? I personally would prefer anything to Farcrap, disgusting show
SG-1 is incredible

Why don't you just make a Farscape thread?

nice autism

This.

Sg1 and trek tng crap all over it

Aussie here so I watched it on it's original run and recently and I think the same thing

While this autism thread is up, I suppose I should elaborate on the line OP quoted from me.
Though the Farscape pilot was more or less normal, it was already by the first or second real episode (the one where an alien woman comes aboard Moya and Crichton starts seeing premonitions of the future) that I was left feeling like I had been dosed. Not a single action or dialogue throughout the episode felt like it was in line with real human existence.

I guess I have to hand it to them for fostering a 'dreamscape' even better than David Lynch can pull off. The pace of the cuts, the Freudian undertones, the oniric art direction, the free associative way it moves from line to line and scene to scene, all leave you in a sort of disoriented state where you wonder if Australia exists in an alternate universe where everything is different.

I don't even mean this as an insult; I was like halfway through s2 and I plan to continue watching at some point.

So now you are enjoying Farscape? Do you have schizophrenia?

Yeah I stopped around S2 as well

It's a fucking weird show that is pretty accurate to how weird things in aus can get.

T. Aussie

I'm not OP. OP is the schizo who keeps riffing quotes from other people, IE archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/82105426/#82111783

The main character of Farscape is a total ass and that alone makes it hard to watch. His love interest passes easily for an s&m tranny. Only the plant chick is hot and she's fucking bald. Too bad it seems she fucked up her face with plastic surgery later in life. Chiana's actress had no tits and no ass at all, total board-core. Everything other than the main character was great as far as the show goes.

SG-1 was a bit of a chore in the first half of the fist season. Total gold by your pic though.

BSG was crap.
Most of Star Trek is crap with only a few good episodes and movies out of the entire fucking franchise.

>tfw Sup Forums is so terrible now that you have to reverse image/text search everything before replying to it to make sure it isn't a bot, shill, or copy-pasta.

It is a brave new world.

Why did you say earlier it was a chore to watch but now you enjoy it? What is wrong with you?

Why did Farscape known when to stop at its peak after 4 seasons, yet SG-1 went on for 10 seasons
Wouldn't you agree there was a steep decline in quality after seasons 4-5?
Why did SG-1 get 10 seasons?

I said, within the same post, that I "didn't dislike it per se". And nowhere have I used the word "enjoy"

Why would you continue to watch something you don't enjoy?

what about Lexx? Technically it is also an oversexualized fantasy world

>"I don't dislike it per se"
It's a chore, but interesting

Why is Farscape considered shit then? Why is SG-1 so much better?

Not him but I think one of the things that made Stargate such a standout comparable to Star Trek was it's underlying thread of optimism and comradery. It's just comfy watching a team of good guys that all get along without trying to screw each other over. Gives the stories themselves that much more room to breathe, imo.

Did you not watch Farscape? Did it not have camaraderie? exemplified especially after the initial struggles and character progression after the end of season 1? Did you not see Scorpious slowly go from foe to friend as they found common ground and fought alongside each other? Was such a strong mutual understanding and loyalty between John and the rest of the crew not camaraderie?

>SG1 is fun but how many times can they go to a planet, find a technically inept civilizations who are being fucked over by a more powerful civilization, the SG1 team try and help only to find out that the meek being use some kind of magical non-violent force to stop the bad guys? Oh and it's all filmed in a Canadian woods.
>It's just, what, 10 seasons of the same old shit.
I'd tend to agree with this

>Scorpius becomes a good guy
How the fuck did they pull that one off?

Farscape is easily the best of those shows.

Nah I never watched Farscape. I think I got like 5 episodes in and kinda just lost interest. I've never badmouthed it though.

BSG is very lewd too, I think the real difference is it's human sexuality in there so you don't feel as weirded out by it. Maybe also the higher rating allowing them to show more so it doesn't seem like teasing teenagers.

Farscape, SG1, and Fringe make my top 3 scifi shows of all time.

How did they pull it off twice?

Well he was just a military guy, not Satan incarnate

Craiss literally did nothing wrong

I loved Farscape. I can see that it wouldn't be for everybody though. It's eccentric, bordering on freakish, and doesn't quite find its plot direction until late in season 1. Judging the show before Scorpius arrives is like judging a car before turning on the engine. You've seen it, but you haven't felt it.

It also doesn't take itself as seriously as most sci-fi, and the audience is regularly invited to laugh with the show as it laughs at itself. It constantly stretches suspension of disbelief to the limit and beyond. The creator once said that it's a sitcom disguised as sci-fi. I think it's unfair to compare Farscape to other sci-fi shows, because it doesn't try to inhabit that genre at all.

If Star Trek is the sci-fi equivalent of a navy vessel discovering new tribes in uncharted waters, then Farscape is a drug-fueled yacht party on the high seas, occasionally being attacked by sharks and pirates. It's not a sci-fi show for sci-fi nerds, it's more of a fantasy adventure for fetishists and weirdos.

>I loved Farscape
Explain these

just admit it, scorpanox was a shit character

Just to add Claudia Black was nice looking back then, I don't see how she looks like a tranny, jaws like hers don't make women unattractive

This 'rivalry' between Farscape and SG-1 is the sole product of one autist. They are completely different types of sci-fi shows.

But a lot of posters simply dismissed the idea of Farscape being good within its own right
SG-1 is unimaginative and repetitive, I don't understand why anyone wouldn't like Farscape

There isn't a single good sci fi TV show

All of them are cringey, cheesy, worthless crap

I couldn't agree more, it's dreadful, and all the women are really inconsistently-written wank fantasies.

Lexx is literal softcore though.

The Expanse has its moments, it isn't overly cheesy. I understand what you mean though

why do you post this every day? Nobody cares you shitlizard

see

>But a lot of posters simply dismissed the idea of Farscape being good within its own right

I has been just over 1 day since the first thread

>Fringe
Doesn't get enough love, especially season 5

Not that poster but all I remember was an amusing scene with walters cow, an important bridge scene and some really intricate twists that surprised me back when I first watched it especially in the later seasons.
I remember being really fond of it but I remember nothing, glad my memory is so vague

...

bump

I know for a fact you are not OP so I'm curious to know why you would bump this thread

SG1, The expanse, Dark Matter

I like how killjoys is on there, you might as well include every single shit scifi show since the 90s, also continuum rarely ever gets mentioned here since it dropped the ball so hard after season 1 or so, I remember the when the pilot first aired and I was so impressed

I tried to watch Farscape and couldn't do it because I couldn't stand the main characters, so I decided to watch SG1 instead, then after a few great seasons they replace based O'Neil with the same retard from Farscape and make the main bitch a recurring/main-character. Really pissed me off, fuck Farscape and fuck Ben Browder

Good I might finally get an answer, why is Valla considered to be such an awful character?

I have two points.
1. You sound like a faggot.
2. Farscape is the only scifi TV show I ever actually liked. I tolerated Star Trek, hated Babylon 5 and barely acknowledged the rest, but I liked Farscape.

Farscape has great pacing and this frantic energy. But it's completely character based without coherent world-building.

I used to like Stargate a lot as a teenager but I can't really rewatch most of it anymore. It just seems like missed opportunities, it would have done better were it more realistic, political, and had longer multi-episode arcs with fewer episodes in a season. SG1 is the definition of filler. It's a pretty steady drop from season 5 with the movies being absolute shit and unnecessary.

>SG1 is the definition of filler
sg1fags eternally btfo

>it would have done better were it more realistic, political
The entire gimmick of the show was that it was campy

>shitting on Hensonkino

Don't you have some capeshit to be watching?

>SG1 is the definition of filler.
fuckoff. what you thought is a filler, those were often connected/ignited bigger events or referenced to in later episodes.

Remember that time SG-1 WAS Farscape?
youtube.com/watch?v=UCNDdlCo4rA

Have you even seen the first few seasons?

Some were decent, some light hearted ones were great. But the show was filler, filler, filler and then suddenly the big bad guy is foiled before he ever became a real threat. The possibility of the invasion and destruction of earth throughout season one gave an impetus and framework to the show that was later lost. Earth as the underdogs, USAF porn, and the realistic political conflicts were nice aspects of the earlier show. Earth being like 20x as powerful as the Goa'uld by the end of the series was retarded and just unnecessary

>Have you even seen the first few seasons?
Currently on season 6

It can be light hearted but I wouldn't go as far to say that campiness was the most defining aspect of the show, I mean of course it is part of the series.

I just really like the basic premise of the series, the Stargate is a great plot device to allow modern humans to encounter space stuff.

>space stuff
>all filmed in the canadian woods

>Star Trek: TOS
>every planet is earth in a different time period

every american visits the canadian forests or why do you guys always mention that? all i see is wood, meaning a planet they're on is kinda like ours. You expect different terrain in every 200 episodes? no show makes that. Also, still better than star trek 90% in star trek setting.

I was speaking about the potential of the Stargate in making a series. But that sort of goes back to my initial criticism of filler, there were a few episodes set in desert environments and there may have been more. But ultimately the amount of filler made diverse sets and environments unfeasible. In a shorter season with multi episode arcs this could have allowed for a more location opportunities. I digress, because SG-1 is what it is, and it's ok, I'm basically speaking about the potential that the Stargate would give as a plot device in a series

Where did I say I preferred Star Trek? Where did I mention TOS in comparison to sg1 in my post?

What about any of these shows
youtu.be/SUGcDR_aui0

Superhero and robot pleb movies are for retards. Even space opera fans are lightyears ahead of that trash

>Doctor Who
>Star Trek

Also superhero shows are great and play with time travel way more interestingly than you'd expect.

Star Trek: TOS is the mother of modern sci-fi shows. I was pointing out how silly it is to fault a science fiction show because the visual effects aren't up to your par

Everything about the episodes in sg1 is repetitive though, not just the setting

F

For more discussion on the subject in the OP.

Is this your first day?

A good portion of the later episodes are about Crichton becoming increasingly mentally ill, eps like Strach n'Sniff, John Quixote and Won't Get Fooled Again are straight up fever dreams. It certainly doesnt feel like anything else in the genre.

I love Farscape, fuck you. I can easily re-watch Farscape, I have to skip a shit load of episodes when watching re-watching Trek.

So why do a lot of posters simply dismiss the idea of Farscape being good within its own right as it is set apart from the genre?

no fucking idea i'm not those posters

>Why did SG-1 get 10 seasons?

Because the first half (1-5) were made when they were owned by Showtime who sold it to SyFy who in turn made the last half (6-10.) After buying it up, SyFy wasn't going to let it go to waste.

so thats why it kinda sucks from 6 onward
