Still Squeeing Over Farscape DVDs.

Still being blown away by Farscape and the commentary. This has got to be the best DVD commentary I've ever listened to (and yes, that includes ALL the Whedon commentary on DVDs as well as quite a few art films.) I'm surprised. I gave up on DVD commentaries...finally. Because they are so self-congratulatory and chatty, and tell you little about the process. But this baby is incredibly informative. The only other one that was this informative was for the film The TV Set.

And so much more. I'm enthralled. And, hmmm, I may need to go hunt down the Farscape fandom.
Are there any serious fans of Farscape still on Flist? Because, am tempted to write meta on this series, but not sure it makes sense to do it if no one is interested. Then again, what the hell.

Also incredibly impressed with Ben Bowder - who is amongst the few leads of a tv series, specifically a sci-fi series that devoted himself to every bit of it. He wasn't an executive producer, but he wrote episodes, tweaked dialogue, discussed storyline, and worked hard on the series. His wife guest-starred in numerous episodes (wearing a lot of make-up) and did conventions with him. Was mature and not diva-ish. And has kept his personal life and children private and out of the public eye. Kudos.
