My kids made a better choice:
Farscape is like Mormonism — gotta watch Trek first to catch the references!
You have to watch a LOT more than that!
Some other references:
2001 A Space Odyssey
Looney Tunes (An entire episode was dedicated to the Coyote and Road Runner). That show had numerous other references too, including an appearance of the Enterprise itself.
Dr Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb. (Dear John and Hi There for instance)
Dark Crystal
Dracula
Star Wars
There are many many more. The entire show was one big reference to something else.
One of the more esoteric Star Trek references was the aliens urinating. In Star Trek, no one pees. The only time any time of shower/rest room is shown in the entire franchise is in ST:TMP when the Ilia drone appears on the Enterprise. There might be a scene in ST:TOS where Kirk comes out of a door with wet hair and a towel around his shoulders, but that’s it.
About the only franchise/movie that I cannot think of a reference in Farscape is Stargate.
Kirk comes out of a door with wet hair and a towel around his shoulders, but that’s it.
Archer takes a shower on Enterprise. I think it was a Delphic Expanse episode. There was also that whole decon thing.
Jankom Pog mentions putting a sonic toilet out of commission. They don’t show it, but they do give us the flushing sound as he exits.
Voyager has a detailed sonic shower scene with B’Elanna Torres.
Then there is Lower Decks…
In Star Trek, no one pees.
No longer the case, because of DISCO, which also confirmed the dual dick Klingon theory.
LOL… I don’t think I’ve seen that scene…aaaannnd not sure I want to.
Thank you for the update though.
That’s because Stargate made references to Farscape, not the other way around.
You mean when it becamse “Fargate” or “Starscape”?
I really liked Ben Browder and Claudia Black in Stargate, however it was really jarring and took a while to get used to.
Fargate
The superior version.
That’s awesome.
This + Stargate
Never get off the boat, man, never get off the boat…
Perfection.
So, uh….
For when you want your Sci-Fi manic depressive.
One is just 3 films, the other houndreds of episodes and several films.
How hard can it be? Worst case do the first and then switch!
The best Star Wars are the animated shows. Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch are each better than most of the movies. Andor is also good. So Star Wars is a lot more than just 3 movies.
I was about to say, what’s this slander? Star wars is 4 movies and 4 tv shows!
Are the movies 4, 5, 6, and Rogue One?
Are the movies 4, 5, 6
No; 1, 2, 3
Attack of the clones, solo, rise of Skywalker, and the Xmas special
Ignore the peanut gallery. You’re right: there are only 3 Star Wars movies.
Alt: Lucy from Peanuts dressed as Ray pulling the droid bb88 away from Chuck dressed as Ben like the football kick trick
houndreds
So… no one’s about Battlestar Galactica?
I literally started watching this yesterday. No idea how I went so long without seeing it.
The miniseries is kind of rough (emotionally), but I guess I wasn’t prepared for >!the destruction of humanity.!<. It’s incredibly good though.
This is how

Finally a gif with sound (in my head).
They’re just gonna end up being LOTR/Fantasy geeks and hate sci-fi if you push too hard. Instead of Trek or Star Wars conventions, they’ll wanna go to the ren faire.
I never got why people like star wars so much. It’s basically 3 “good” (I actually didn’t like it) films and it’s all downhill from there.
If Disney had not done a terrible job then this meme would be more relevant.
Having said that, rouge one was a solid movie (the only good one imo).
You’re all wrong. There is only one answer:
Lexx is… Something else.
It’s Canadian is what it is. Explains all.
I didn’t realize that Canadians are insatiably horny…
I will bully ppl going the capitalistic Star Wars way.
I feel it will be my duty.Heretics, let me preach to you the true religion of Babylon 5. Do not fall for the False God of D*9.
They aren’t very comparable, different genres, completely different stories, different methods of storytelling, and completely different mediums (yes star trek has movies and star wars has shows, star trek is still primarily a series of shows while star wars is primarily a series of movies).
you sweet, summer child
I don’t get it
You didn’t explain anything
it was a coy, and somewhat comical attempt at calling you naive. but now its not funny. hmph.
My sweet summer child
So?
Its comparing apples and oranges. Or in this case a series of sci-fi shows and a series of space fantasy movies.
Its comparing apples and oranges.
And we all know peaches are best
Here I go watching all 6 seasons again.
At that point I’ll know if I have to get rid of my children
|| to put it in programmers words: kill the children if they lost their use
