@@TomMSTie1138 It absolutely frelling is! She's also just really fun to chat with about life and such. I particularly love it when her young daughter comes in to join the conversation. She looks a lot like a mini Gigi, it's uncanny.
Miss this show greatly... When Ben got onto stargate and he was about to go through the gate for the first time i imagined Scorpius to march into the gate room and yell "Crichton give me wormholes!"
No, but he DID show up in Star Wars. He's playing Tarkin for that distance shot at the end of revenge of the sith. And GODS he would have killed it in the role.
@@JnEricsonx It still galls me that they didn't get him to come back to play Tarkin in "Rogue One" instead of doing what they did in that movie... Wayne would've definitely crushed it as Tarkin...
@@JnEricsonx I'd love to meet him too, but he doesn't do many American cons nowadays. Meeting him would give me the same amount of joy as when I met Christopher Eccleston at my local comic con 2 years ago.
Great selection of episodes from Ben & Gigi. Even though the series has been finished for over 20 years. You can still see the love & passion they both have for the series.
One of the best aspects of Farscape's writing is that all the actors had work to do in every episode, all had parts to play in every story. Pilot, was my absolute favorite character. And let's not forget that the living spacecraft Moya wasn't forgotten as a character also. Pilot was so beautifully performed and written that it was easy to forget he was an animatronic puppet. The Rygel puppet took some convincing but the superb character performance by the late Jonathan Hardy was a class act.
"Out of the Box" is such a perfect way to describe this show and why I love it more than any other sci-fi show. Pretty much every other sci-fi show that takes place in space is fairly "human" feeling. Farscape does the best job at giving the viewer an extra terrestrial experience. From the costumes, makeup and character designs, to the music sounding so alien and even the editing and cinematography, no other show does it better. Another good example is Through the Looking Glass episode, where Moya splits into multiple dimensions.
It's nice to see some of the actors again. I'm always amazed by Gigi's performance as Chiana. I think she got to spread her wings a lot in that series that she wouldn't necessarily get on a standard TV series.
Possibly one of the best sci fi shows ever made! I'd put it up against anything anyone has ever done. I still watch the show on Pluto! It's stories stand the test of time, and Peacekeeper Wars is still one of the best endings of a series ever done! Loved it!
Farscape was as surreal as it was genius. There are so many shows that followed in the last 25 years that owe its success to that show for the simple reason they proved it could be done. That Ben and Claudia were able to work together again on Stargate SG-1 made it all the more special.
Ben , GiGi, hell, the rest of the cast, are still the best. Jim and Rockne, if someone ever gives you the money to make another season/series, I'm gonna be there. So will many people all over the world.
One of the most crazy, inventive, emotional and beautiful shows ever made. I hope it's left alone, fondly remembered, and not brought back, especially given the current state of "modern" TV
I absolutely loved that Loony Tunes ep. Never laughed so much. Farscape was my favorite show. At least they gave us an ending with the Peacekeeper Wars. Missed them when it ended.
Farscape is still a great show!!!!!! Real personal drama, amazing aliens and they do not take themselves too seriously even during dangerous times. Thank you Ben and Gigi !!!!!!
There are very few TV shows that I think are special enough to buy, and Farscape is one of them. I’ve got the entire series and the peacekeeper wars. What’s crazy is I never watched this show when it was on TV, so I caught it when reruns came out. Saw a few episodes and then never watched it again until just recently; but it was unique enough that it grabbed my attention. I just binged watched the entire series on Amazon and it is one of the best sci-fi shows ever made. The characters are so well written and acted by the entire crew, and the entire storyline has so much depth for each character. The other TV shows that are on the level of quality as Farscape are Quincy and Burn Notice. I know those are completely different genres, but I had to mention them due to the level of detail by the creators, and the right actors and actresses to play their parts. It’s pretty magical.
Thank you for this video. It was great to see Ben & Gigi. In this crazy world we live in today, the stakes feel as high as they did in most Farscape episodes... but I much prefer Farscape to this crappy reality. I truly miss the show and all the characters. I have rewatched the series, I think, four times. I "scaped" my wife and son many years ago. I think the creators of the show missed a great opportunity to continue Farscape with a really high-quality animated series. The actors could have handled the voice work and if money was an issue for the show being cancelled, certainly an animated version would have been extremely cheap by comparison. The teasing of a continuation over the past 20 or so years has amounted to false hope after false hope. I see all these Pop figures of characters I have no idea who they are, and I look in vain for Farscape. I would buy those in a second. A Pop figure of Scorpy or Pilot or Aeryn, to name just three, wow, that would be so cool to put on my bookcase.
I won't lie i had some seriously major fantasies with Chiana( Gigi Edgley). I hope she was able to feel it from her world. lol. It was actually a really good series, a little weird to understand sometimes but good. It sucked how they ended it and left it open really. I hate when they do that and they do it all too much.
Can we hope against hope that there will be an alien re-visitation from our friends on the Farscape project in the offing? The demand for content has never been greater, and the crew from Moya have a built in fan base ready to go for another XX seasons! Seems like resuming this show would be a real no-brainer -I know I'm hooked. I wonder how many familiar characters will be waiting in the Diagnosan's freezer for re-animation should Moya, Pilot and the Crichton family ever return?
Without Rygel? Would be lessened man. He was my favourite character. His character development over the seasons was brilliant. He learned humility coming from a royal background to slumming it
@@johnmc2514 Who's to say that Rygel XVI wouldn't be staying in Hyneria after being restored as Dominar? It could be written that Rygel's progeny, Prince Rygel XVII, joins the Moya crew instead - because his father think he's a spoiled brat who needs to learn more about life that he can learn while being waited on hand and foot by the Dominar's servants.
For those of us, who caught it when it aired the final scene of season for, Jon and Arin in the boat!😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮 Thank God "Peace Keeper Wars" came along. Still sad, but not like that other shot. Not that being the end of things.
Such a shame to know that hinted revival few years ago hasn't happened yet & probably never will. Some producers behind the show talked about at con events. Here's to hoping & wish safe excellent future to whole cast & producers 🤞
If you get a chance to do a meet and greet with Gigi Edgely DO IT!!! She's so enthusiastically pro fans and such a great person! Honestly one of my most favorite ever celebrity encounters and it happened on the same day I got to meet with Gates McFadden and Sam Jones.
If they're going to ever do a reboot a Farscape it will have to be on the Silver Screen and at least 10 movies that was one of the main reasons they canceled it you can't skimp on quality you could have took any of the episodes put it into a two and a half hour length and put it in a movie theater and nobody would have thought it was a TV show the videography the cinematography was that good....
The loony tunes episode was one of the funniest things I ever saw==and even though I understand what's going on, I still have a moment where my mind goes 'what the HELL am I watching?'.
I love Farscape yet knew it was doomed. It was so imaginative, dark yet heroic, simply too epic to last before some toad of a TV executive came along and cancelled it.
Yup, he's 61 now. An article from Wikipedia shows a photo of him from 2018 (six years ago as of 2024), where he still looks nearly the same as he did during Farscape. But it's not easy to keep form like that at this age. From the regular cast, two are in their seventies, five in their sixties, five in their fifties. There is no age information about Rebecca Riggs (Grayza); but she shouldn't be too much older or younger. Gigi Edgley is the youngest at 46 - she was only 22 when she joined the cast in 1999. Melissa Jaffer (Noranti) is 87. Jonathan Hardy (the voice of Rygel) passed away in 2012 at 71 years of age. He would have turned 84 this year.
Now I mean absolutely no disrespect to Ben by saying this, but he looks like he's wearing the exact same aging makeup that he wore on the very last episode of SG1.
i had one huge frustration with the show, being that you could never trust what happened. but aside from that it was so fun, had a ton of heart, and was simply original in just about every aspect.
Honestly, Faracape was one of those series I tried to like, but man, it just got weird, and I stopped watching. I really enjoyed his addition to SG-1, though.
It was a sad day when this series ended. Loved the story, the cast, the show.
I'm just so glad we got Peace Keeper Wars, if it had ended where it was initially cancelled...
yeah, one of the best sc-fi show back then
Love everything is cult here. In a moments like this kids(i was back then) cry with real tears.
I love Gigi using the old 'Scape swears.🥰
I still use them on occasion. Used them a few times happily when I met a bunch of the cast last winter. :)
I've been in several Zoom chats with her and other fans, and she uses them in ordinary conversation, too! It made me giddy. :D

25 years already WOW where has the time gone by! :D
think about that. if this was the 1980s a 25 year old show would be 1955. its weird how things don't seem so old now when they are.

What the frell. Highly underrated show 🤟👽🤓🎬
so great to see farscape again
Revenging Angel was and still is one of my favorite Farscape episodes
Mine as well, disturbing and comical at the same time.
Strange, it's an ep I always skip on rewatches.
Farscape was as surreal as it was genius. There are so many shows that followed in the last 25 years that owe its success to that show for the simple reason they proved it could be done. That Ben and Claudia were able to work together again on Stargate SG-1 made it all the more special.

Oh, I did the "we're not worthy" bow to Rockne, Ben, Gigi and Claudia at a con last year. :)
One of the most crazy, inventive, emotional and beautiful shows ever made. I hope it's left alone, fondly remembered, and not brought back, especially given the current state of "modern" TV
That´s it? You just give up? Not what I would call a fan living the positive message of the show! So little trust in the crew!
Only the Aussies and Henson could make something like this
They saw Red Dwarf and said, "Hold my Fosters, mate."
Australia is always trying to claim credit for this having some actors in it makes it theirs.
Nice! 'Eat Me' is one of my favorite episodes!
2:24 she laughs like Chiana and even uses the frell swear, you gotta love her. Gigi is such a wonderful person and still looks great!
The best television show ever made to my mind. I still miss it.
Every time I see something on Farscape and think about the state of 21st Century Sci-Fi I just have to say, "We're so frelled!"
25 years, it's hard to believe!...but even now for me the animated episode remains a masterpiece!
Cant believe its 25yrs loved the show and a happy time in my life
Just yesterday i felt like watching Farscape, and today this pops up on TH-cam with a place i can watch. Perfect timing.
the looney toons episode is one of my favorite and really shows how creative this team was once in a lifetime show.
I absolutely loved that Loony Tunes ep. Never laughed so much. Farscape was my favorite show. At least they gave us an ending with the Peacekeeper Wars. Missed them when it ended.
Oh Ben's voice! ❤ i am rewatching everything now.
I am still watching this awesome show frequently!!!!! One of the best shows ever!
Farscape is timeless with perfect casting.
Farscape was a great show. I have re-watched it many times over the years.
Love this show❤❤
Fantastic show. I rewatch it all the time.
What a great show. So original, great cast, great characters.
Totally love this series completely. The very best of sci fi ever.
Farscape is still a great show!!!!!! Real personal drama, amazing aliens and they do not take themselves too seriously even during dangerous times. Thank you Ben and Gigi !!!!!!
I didn’t watch it when it was on air, but recently went through the whole series it was fantastic!!!
Happy I met both of them and Claudia at a con last year!
*GREAT TV SHOW!*
Love this Series Just Started Re Watching it and Still Love it
Loved the show as a kid!
2:56 i love the look on all there faces as they are saying WTF IS HE DOING LOL

i am watching the show now one of my favorites shows
Lol, "IT'S PUKE!!"
What an amazing show.
What legends :) Im so glad the series got a decent conclusion in the telemovie.
wow... just wow... Gigi aged so beautifully
It's especially interesting that Farscape is a must watch along with Star Trek, Star Gate, Lexx and Babylon 5. I personally love and Andromeda too.
Watching the series for the first time right now!! I'm almost done with season 4!
Lol Gigi still has that Chiana giggle.
Frelling great series.
I always described Farscape as Star Trek on acid.❤
Miss them all so frellin’ bad😢

Farscape is like no other!
Ben is casting some serious Lee Majors vibes these days. It would be so, so badass to see him in a reboot of The Fall Guy
I loved this show. I am still raging about how they just so abruptly ended this series! *_Long live Farscape_*
Very sad the final season 5 never got made! This was a show ahead of its time!
I love all the Episodes - but they forgot 1 of the Best one- Season 3 Scratch N' Sniff- comon-This got to be up there in the Top 10..
This is just a teaser for the big shout! special tonight, I suppose!
Need to rewatch this and Stargate.
I always do that! 🙂

Come on Brian Henson and James Gunn give us a proper Season 5 of Farscape! Please.
or at the very least a mini series, or movie of some sort. Hell I'd take a GOOD video game set in the Farscape universe at this point.
Thank you for mentioning James Gunn! I wish he would have a hand in bringing the series back.
@@Thedogdad84i knew he was a huge fan and that he gave ben a cameo in GOTG vol 2 that he based Starlord on Crichton
@@clintbrewFun joke, courtesy of Ben when I asked him. He'd met James after GOTG and he joked, "Hey, I think you guys ripped off my show!"
Eat Me episode scared me to death. It's Halloween in space

I remember the rumors about them crossing farscape and Stargate lol
Well they sort of did when ben and claudia joined stargate sg1 in the last couple of seasons and they even referenced Farscape in an episode
The loony tunes episode was one of the funniest things I ever saw==and even though I understand what's going on, I still have a moment where my mind goes 'what the HELL am I watching?'.
Is there any truth to the rumour they're bringing Farscape back? Not as a reboot, but a literal continuation of the series.
I love Farscape yet knew it was doomed. It was so imaginative, dark yet heroic, simply too epic to last before some toad of a TV executive came along and cancelled it.
Gigi Edgley looks really good. How old was she back then?
😄😄
That this show got canceled is proof hollywood has zero clue whats good and whats trash.
❤ fo FS ❤❤❤
The Looney Tunes episode really was priceless. And I loved the cast. But that was the last season I watched. It pissed me off and I never forgave it.
0:45 So that's what she looks like without the paint.
😊👍🏽🎥
The episode where Chricton has the black stuff in his brain and he says to keep to the memory of his dogs if the surgeon can was bad ass.
Season 2 finale holds the opposite emotions for me
John looks so tired now
Wow he looks old!
