Identified Flying Objects
Jun. 23rd, 2012 08:47 amI remembered that the third season was where Farscape got very into plot arcs and even more into crack than it was, but I'd forgotten it was also the season where they basically turned into as close to BDSM as you can get on basic cable. Well, "Won't Get Fooled Again" aside. This has never been an image I needed in my head.
Also, they abruptly decided they were a horror show. Gaaaahhhh, "Eat Me" is going to give me nightmares for weeks. Also, it starts the Two Johns arc, and...I'm not sure I can wade through that again. Maybe I can skip some parts when it starts dragging.

Picture from yesterday evening:

I think the darkening at the corners is the actual effect of moonlight, but I'm not entirely sure it wasn't something weird my camera was doing. I made a cropped version, but that introduced a lot of noise. I suppose I can just consider that a deliberate effect...

Date: 2012-06-23 02:50 pm (UTC)I had begun to notice how many different science fiction shows changed during and right after the height of the X Files run. Shows that had been fun and light took radical shifts; Sliders is one big example and then Farscape took the same turn eventually. When a show was not getting the ratings that Sci-Fi Channel wanted the producers sent it into a dark, nasty area where it had not been headed previously. I am a long time science fiction fan so it was really interesting to see what a strong influence that one popular show had on so many others that were struggling.
