Investigating 'Farscape' e-bog

"e;My name is John Crichton. 'I'm lost'. An astronaut. Shot through a wormhole. In some distant part of the universe. 'I'm trying to stay alive'. Aboard this ship. 'This living ship'. Of escaped prisoners."e; During its fourth and - for the present - final season, "e;Farscape"e; was the Sci-Fi Channel's highest rated original series. With its dedicated fan-base, "e;Farscape"e; seasons are still top-billing Sci-Fi DVDs. This first proper analysis of the show, written by a scholar-fan, uncovers "e;Farscape's"e; layers and those of the living spaceship Moya. Jes Battis proposes that "e;Farscape"e; is as much about bodies, sex and gender, as it is about wormholes, space ships and interstellar warfare. It is this straddling of genres that makes the show so viewable to such a broad audience, of which almost half are women. He explores "e;Farscape's"e; language and characters, including Moya, its creation of 'family and home', of masculinity and femininity, and the transformation of an all-American boy.
