I'm midway through season 4 and the only reason I've hung in there is the John/Aeryn relationship. This is some messed up Sci-fi! It's not campy or cheesy - it's just BAD! And the episodes that Ben Browder wrote are some of the worst.

I must correct myself and also disagree with most farscape fans: It does not get much better with Scorpius. I am sorry. I am in season 2 now and still waiting for it to get really good.
It is not bad though. I like all of the characters, the make up, "the muppets", the concept. Rygel is my favourite. "Human reaction" is the best episode so far and scorpius is cool.
But the writing of the show is just so mediocre and bland. It is the typical "mischief of the week" kind of structure that I find mostly boring. Style over substance.
I might keep watching, because I like the characters but I am not expecting much else. -

Farscape is one of my all-time favorite shows. That said I think it works as well as it does because of the cast and the f/x (puppets + makeup + sets) and not so much the writing that was sometimes great and sometimes just bad. Scorpius was an interesting and definitely well-played character but I remember wanting the series to be done with him several times; he grew on me eventually.
Season 3 is my favorite for the series - if you don't like that then I feel sorry for you ;> -

characters, actors, make up, puppets, fx, premise - everything is good. but if the writing is not than everything kind of collapses. I am not going to slog through several seasons for a handful of good eps.
I really wanted to like it, so I am a bit disappointed. Any mediocre TNG episode is as good as the better ones from farscape. -

You don't like it, that's fine. For me personally, the introduction of Scorpius marked the beginning of the main story arc, which get's intenser by season. The finale of season 2 was my point of no return. After that I I couldn't stop watching.
