I've recently had a few people in other forums ask me what Farscape is about, and other than directing them to farwhat.com I thought some of the music vids might do well to capture their imagination.
So can anyone please recommend a few of the videos that might help addict a few unsuspecting newbies? Something that captures the show's essence without giving too much away? Links would be great too please.
Many thanks.

Well, I did one to Star Wars' Duel of the Fates. http://www.craisie.com/id32.htm , but that may give away a bit more than you like, but I think it's out of context enough that blowing up Katratzi wouldn't really give anything away. It basically gives you a quick run through all four seasons giving away tantalizing bits of the plot, though the fact I say what happens with Crais might lessen the tension of season 1 a bit.
On the same page you can find "Book of Days" which takes a look at John's early days in the UT. For other early day vids to introduce the characters are "Headstrong" for Aeryn and "TNT" for D'Argo. "Falcon in the Dive" takes a look at Crichton's problems with Crais and is a good intro to the insane military commander. And "Unbelievable" is a nice one for Chiana.
"Don't Worry Be Happy" takes a look at Farscape's lighter side. "Oh Yeah" is another fun one, but it really only shows Scratch 'n Sniff, so people may get the wrong idea.
"Bad Boys" and "Peacekeeper" give a nice overview of the PKs without really being spoilerish. Bad Boys is part humor part action.
Hope it helps, there is a pretty wide range of music there.
Much as I hate to trumpet my own efforts (yeah, right!), I had pretty good results with a Rygel vid I did to I Believe In You from How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. You'll find it here (http://www.disordered.org/Video.html), along with my others.

Thank you kindly! Does anyone have a link to that promo set to the 1812 overture? The one that's about 90 seconds long? I believe it was made to promote the series post-cancellation.
