When I was growing up the science fiction genre was defined by the likes of Star Trek, Stargate and Babylon 5. That is until I was introduced to the wonderfully weird Farscape. Created by Rockne S O'Bannon and produced by The Jim Henson Company, Farscape remains one of the most creative and bold sci-fi shows of all time. In this retrospective/review we dive into the behind-the-scenes story of this cult classic, explore the stories it told and examine its lasting pop culture impact. Merry Frelling Christmas!
