It also took me at least 5 episodes and more to get into that series. This series is great because of the stories and the characters, not because of the special effects. The puppets stuff can be pretty arwfull at moments. But Farscape have the best badass never seen on tv. Scorpio is by any mean, the most intrecate and patient of all the vilains i have watch to date. He is, all by himself, the spinning effect of that series. The Scarans are also really bad poeples. And the Peace Keepers, are all you could expect from a dictatorial organisation.
I always though that a series is dictated by how credible and beleivable the characters of the vilains are...and Farscape have put the best of them in place. That's why a series like Firefly died, because the vilain were left obscure most of the time, and when they brought it up, it was too late and not very convincing.
The Matrix has the same problem in the end, where the machines were not convincing and credible. That's why the last episode was so bad. In fact, thoses machines were bad from the first to the last movies. And agent Smith characterisation left to be desire in the last installement too...
