"Farscape" (1999-2004)
It features the usual panoply of exotic aliens, marbled worlds and spacescapes that look ripped from the cover of "Amazing Stories," but "Farscape" is more than your average space opera. Lost-in-space American astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) and his contentious fellowship of motley fugitives pilot a living ship through a hostile universe of totalitarian worlds and mercenary predators. All the while, they are on the run from their own personal demon: Scorpius, a half-breed alien who runs his own little SS organization in the Fascist empire. It's a far cry from the Federation-friendly universe of "Star Trek," and there isn't a TV sci-fi show that has done more with less.
