The second season of Farscape expands upon & develops the characters introduced in the ambitious first season. John Crichtons new nemesis is the deadly Scorpius, replacing Crais who has taken the living ship Moyas offspring on a voyage into the unknown. Moyas regular crew, Aeryn, Zhaan, Chiana, DArgo & Rygel, remain as divided & suspicious of each other as ever, yet somehow manage to pull together at times of crisis. The writers continue to exploit the shows gift for surprising as well as emotionally convincing character development, while the CGI effects, prosthetics & state-of-the-art puppetry, courtesy of Jim Hensons Creature Shop, continue to make Farscape the most original looking sci-fi show on TV. The witty scripts, peppered with post-modern pop culture references & movie in-jokes, are also a breath of fresh air. The result is episodic TV sci-fi that continually pushes at the accepted boundaries of the genre.

Ben Browder, born December 11, 1962, is an American film & television actor, who garnered a few minor roles in feature films before his leading role on the sci-fi TV series Farscape. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Browder met his wife, fellow actor Francesca Buller, while studying at the Central School of Speech & Drama in London. The couple moved with their two children to Australia during the production of Farscape, on which Browder starred as brash American astronaut John Crichton. Buller played several guest roles on the show. They returned to the United States in 2002 following the cancellation of Farscape. His most recent appearance was in the 2004 movie, A Killer Within, co-starring C Thomas Howell & Sean Young. In December, 2004, Browder was announced as joining the cast of another sci-fi series, Stargate SG-1, for its 9th season. Posters Of Farscape
