Clarification of a Post

An earlier post listed a few things I learned while watching season two if Farscape. I need to clarify that a bit...it has cause some confusion.

If you have never watched Farscape, or only saw a few epi's of season one, then this list may not make much sense. Allow me to elaborate just a bit:

Farscape is/was a series on the Sci-fi channel. The premise is an American astronaut (John Crichton) is in Earth orbit in an experimental space ship testing a theory he has when a chain of events opens up a wormhole and he is sucked into a very far off part of the universe. A chain of events puts him on a space ship with several aliens all of whom are excaped prisoners. Even though they each speak a separate language, they can communicate via a microbe that translates language into something each can understand. Crichton is injected with the micro and begins to explain his plight.

1. Everyone learned to frelling swear very well -- Season one was rough and gritty, but enjoyable. While it is still science fiction, it was still believable. Swearing was done with common English, and it was mild. Season two took that in a different direction. EVERY one was using the word "frell", which is Farscapese for the "F-word" in English. The first couple of times I really did not pay attention, but by the end of the season, it was used just like the "F-word" is today: far too frequently and as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc. It was like watching Battlestar Galactica with their word, "Frack".
   
   
2. The crew likes leather...a lot -- The wardrobe for the two humans (ok, one is Sebacean but she looks human) in season two turned very leather based. Season one had John and Aeryn wearing their pilot suits most of the time. Now they (as well as season two villain, Scorpius) all wear leather. I guess they wore the old uniforms just wore out...

1. Chianna is a whore -- Chianna is the latest character to join. She is a blue skinned Nebari, a race that is trying to weed out aggression and eventually conquer a big part of the galaxy. She is young (she is called child many times in season two), but she is also a little floozy, fornicating with anyone that will get her what she wants. While her behavior is not well liked, it is not condemned, either. She has a small build, but wears a very tight and restrictive top that gives her artificial cleavage.
   
   
2. D'argo is a whoredog -- D'argo is a Luxan. Luxan's are warriors who are big and powerful and somewhat frightening/comical to look at. They are humanoid with tattoos and tentacle like things on their heads. The have burst of hyper-rage that is very erratic. D'argo and Chianna are bed mates in season two. D'argo has had sexual relations with at least three different races in 2 seasons (Chianna, his former wife (a Sebacean), and another race early in season one). While the first mate was his wife and his second he was drugged, his relationship with Chianna was his choosing.
   
   
3. Aeryn's top must be shrinking -- Aeryn is a former Peace Keeper, sort of a black clad stormtrooper in this section of the universe. She has been rejected by her order and has to stay with the other members to keep alive. The Peace Keepers are actively hunting her down. The top of her leather outfit shows more skin in each episode of season two. It looks like a black leather vest that zips from the top and bottom and in each episode, the zippers get closer together. By the end of the season, the bottom zipper is in the normal position and the top one is low enough to show cleavage. The vest has obviously shrunken some, since Aeryn appears bustier almost overnight.

The show on it's own is good. Like all sci-fi shows, they are throwing an element of sexuality to attract more viewers. It is difficult to find entertaining shows that do not exploit sexual behavior.

I am almost afraid to see what season three has in store for me...
