I posted this on Farscape World yesterday, but I wanted to put it here too because this site has helped to guide me along as well:

I just finished watching every episode today. I had seen about 3 episodes over the past two years or so, but I started watching it a bit some this summer when there was a marathon. It wasn't until about a month and a half ago that I started using my digital video recorder (same thing as ti-vo) to record episodes and started really watching the series.

So now I'm done and I am so impressed. I started out with "Meltdown" as the first episode that I picked up the series (mid season 3) and got caught up right in the middle of the twinned Crichton / Aeryn and John relationship / wormholes / Scorpius in the head stuff. It was tough for me at first because I was kind of lost, but using some episode guides (from TV Tome and Farscape World) I was able to figure out what was going on and finish out the third and fourth seasons.

It was nice to now come back and watch it from the beginning and pretty much end on "Relativity", which makes everything come full circle for me. I really think that the show takes quite a turn with "Die, Me Dichotomy" and doesn't look back. Seasons 3 and 4 (especially 4 for me) are just awesome, the best seasons of any show I have ever seen.

Farscape really is the best show I have ever seen. I have completely fallen in love with the whole thing, especially the complex relationship between John and Aeryn. As the series goes on, they not only grow as individuals, but they grow together, almost as if they become one in thought and mind.

So now that I have finally finished I am ready and excited about this mini-series that I've been hearing about since I first started watching Farscape in August. I have spent many nights in bed thinking about this show (usually after watching 3 or 4 episodes in a row until 4am) and I already know that the mini is going to put me through emotional hell. But that makes me all the more excited.
Here are my top episodes (if you can't tell, I am absolutely a shipper, so most of my favs revolve around John and Aeryn):
1. Bad Timing
2. Terra Firma
3. Die, Me Dichotomy
4. A Human Reaction
5. Kansas
6. Season of Death
7. Inf. Poss. Pt. 2
8. Relativity

Well done on watching them all! If you're in America (and you seem to be from your location thingy) you've only got a few days left. Don't forget the ice cream, popcorn or other snack, and the handkerchiefs.

Picked some good favourite episodes there. I'm not really a shipper. I hate romance in shows but tolerate Farscape's as it does it well. My favourite episodes are (in no particular order) -

* The Way We Weren't
* John Quixote
* Scratch 'n' Sniff
* Bad Timing
* Dog With Two Bones
* Liars, Guns & Money (parts 1 & 3)
* PK Tech Girl (ooo, PK background story)
* Die Me, Dichotomy
* Different Destinations
* Bringing Home The Beacon
* The Choice

A few odd choices, but I dunno - I enjoy them for a mix of things, including music, action, character development, and where it applies, cliffhangers.

After going back today and watching some of the marathon, I need to add "Inf. Poss. Pt. 1" and "The Choice" to my list to make it a rounded out 10. The first time I watched "The Choice" I didn't really understand what was going on with Aeryn (since I hadn't seen any of season one or two at the time). But now that I've seen every episode, I was able to really understand what she was going through and all of her flashbacks/encounters with John made sense to me.
