It's kind of funny how proud I feel...
whenever my new scapee expresses his admiration for Farscape's eleven-years-old CGI... You'd think I'd created it myself. :D
It really is quite good, though, even by today's standard's. There's a lot of shows on the air today - current shows! - that have worse effects than Farscape had back then. I mean, Doctor Who frequently looks 'cheaper' than Farscape!
My new convert's really appreciative of the locations, too - all that Australian countryside modified with imaginative sets. And he enjoys the critters. Today he asked if a certain species was going to be important, just based on their looks - because in almost any other show, a species looking that nifty would definitely not be wasted on 'unimportant' background stuff. But that's Farscape for you - it's incredibly generous with its creature designs. They really were just unimportant background characters.
My convert (let's call him Subject X, shall we?) doesn't just like the look of the show, of course. I just particularly enjoy seeing him enjoying that aspect of the show, because usually when you watch an 'older' show, you may enjoy the writing and the characters and so on, but more often than not, you'll feel it just doesn't look that great anymore.
