Farscape (1999-2003) is the story of John Crichton, an Earth astronaut who gets flung to the far reaches of the Universe when an experimental flight he is piloting unexpectedly opens a wormhole. He unwittingly gets caught up in a prison break, and ultimately throws in with a motley crew of aliens, including a tentacled warrior, a beautiful blue priestess, a small but domineering deposed royal, a living ship and its pilot, and a soldier who becomes "irreversibly contaminated" for attempting to defend Crichton.

Combining fantastic action-adventure with light-hearted humor, compelling relationships, and voyages into the dark recesses of the soul, Farscape is a true "space opera." The show is chock full of memorable, richly detailed characters that you quickly grow to care about a great deal, including several created by Jim Henson's creature shop. The series is exhilarating, fun, amusing, and, at times, quite dark and heartbreaking.

Farscape was reviewed by six Agents of Doux over a period of years: Jess Lynde, Mallena, Samantha M. Quinn, Juliette, Thomas Ijon Tichy, and Shari.
