About Farscape:
Righteousness isn't so simple here as in the "Trek" universe, and neither is resolution. "Farscape" is more philosophical, more adult, more briskly stimulating and way more unsettling. This isn't epic adventure, it's gut-check survival. These characters' values are constantly in question, and their desperation is palpable. Even the production design is deep.

How could this ferment get yet more intense? Ask show-running producer David Kemper and his Australian production partners at the Sydney arm of The Jim Henson Co. Their season wraps April 26 with two characters annihilated, two more introduced (you'll love "Commandant Cleavage"), others in exile, and basic assumptions blown to smithereens in the last scene. It won't take seven months to see what happens next. Sci Fi's fourth "Farscape" season starts June 7.
