I WATCHED A RANDOM SELECTION OF EPSIODES OF THIS WHEN IT WAS ON BUT NOT ANYTHING ORGANIZED. WHEN LOCKDOWNS STARTED I STARTED TO WATCH IT AND HAVE NOW WORKED MY WAY THROUGH ALL 80 HOURS. I REALLY LIKE THIS SHOW. I THINK I REALLY REALLY LIKED THIS SHOW MOST IN THE EARLY AND MID PARTS WHERE THEY SEEMED TO REFUSE TO HIRE ANY NEW ACTORS SO EVERY EPISODE SOMEHOW INVOLVED ONE OF THE NORMAL CHARACTERS TURNING EVIL OR MUTATING INTO SOMETHING ELSE THEN I SLOWED DOWN WATCHING WHEN IT PICKED UP ONGOING STORY, BUT I STILL REALLY LIKE THIS. I THINK SPECIFICALLY I LOVE THERE IS SO ODVIOUS A WAY THIS SHOW WAS "SUPPOSED" TO BE, LIKE EARTH MAN IS SWEPT UP INTO SPACE SHENANIGANS AND CLEARLY IT'D BE A FISH OUT OF WATER STORY, BUT LIKE 3 OR 4 EPISODES IN THEY DROP THAT, JOHN STARTS GOING CRAZY FROM STRESS, THEN THEY MESS WITH HIS BRAIN, THEN FOR THE REST OF THE ENTIRE SERIES HE'S JUST CRAZY AND THAT IS HIS CHARACTER. HE'S NOT THE ONE SANE EARTH MAN SAVIOR, HE'S JUST CALLING EVERYONE DUMB NICKNAMES AND ALMOST GETTING HIMSELF KILLED A LOT. IT'S REALLY GOOD! IT'S LIKE LEXX AND RED DWARF MASHED TOGETHER BUT GOOD AND JIM HENSON.  ALSO EARTH TO NED CAME OUT THIS YEAR AND SEEMS BAD BUT ALL THE DESIGN ASTHETIC SEEMS TO BE FARSCAPE STUFF AND THAT'S NEAT. 

PS. AT ONE POINT THEY FIGHT CELL FROM DRAGON BALL Z,  AND SOMETHING ABOUT THAT SEEMS SO FUNNY TO ME, LIKE THEY KNOCK IT OFF SO COMPLETELY IN EVERY WAY BUT THE EPISODE MUST HAVE COME OUT AFTER THE JAPANESE APPEARANCE BUT *BEFORE* THE US APPEARANCE AND YOU CAN LOOK BACK AT CONTEMPORARY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE EPISODE AND NO ONE MUCH SEEMS TO KNOW. LIKE I LOVE THE IDEA THAT THERE WAS A POINT DRAGON BALL Z WAS OBSCURE ENOUGH MEDIA THAT YOU COULD NOT JUST REFERANCE IT BUT TAKE THE MOST FAMOUS VILLIAN AND GO "YEAH, HE'S IN OUR THING NOW" FOR ONE EPISODE AND NOT CHANGE IT AT ALL
