As such,Farscapefeatures several characters played by impressive puppets, which adds a unique feel to the show.
Farscapeis so densely populated that naming the best 10 characters becomes a Herculean task.
Therefore, there are a couple of major players who don’t quite make the cut.
So, the show’s primary Leviathan doesn’t rank here.
As a Leviathan/Peacekeeper hybrid, Tayln boasts all the strengths of both backgrounds with none of the weaknesses.
However,Talyn also displays a surprising amount of personality for a vessel.

Just like a traditional child, Tayln often disregards authority and often thinks he knows better than his mother.
Just like his eventual captain/pilot, Lani Tupu’s Bialar Crais, Talyn’s loyalties shift quite often.
Their shared fate cements an ultimate bittersweet redemption.
Farscape is a sci-fi television series that initially premiered in 2004 and was created by Rockne S. O’Bannon. Astronaut John Crichton is sucked into a wormhole across the universe after an experimental flight goes haywire, setting him onboard a ship with a crew of several different alien races. Stuck in space and on the run from a nefarious organization known as the Peacekeepers, John and company work together to make it day-by-day while trying to maintain peace throughout the universe - as much as possible
What separates Crais from his ship is thatthe captain beginsFarscapeas the story’s primary antagonist.
Farscapeseason 4’s conclusion also marked the show’s cancelation.
However,Farscape: The Peacekeeper Warswas then commissioned, with the two-part miniseries ending the saga properly.
Farscape’s alien characters stand apart from their counterparts in many other sci-fi shows.
As an added bonus, his Qualta Blade is very cool.
She is the spiritual leader aboard the ship, and also the closest thing they have to a doctor.
She is heavily relied upon for medical care and general advice but asks for nothing in return.
It’s eventually revealed near the end ofFarscapeseason 1 thatHey’s character is a plant-based lifeform.
Along with his prominent materialism, he demonstrates on several occasions his propensity for selfishness.
Rygel farts helium, and he passes gas when he’s nervous.
So, some ofFarscape’s tensest moments can often be alleviated by the squeaky voices of those around him.
Pygram also has the unusual opportunity to play two versions of Scorpius.
However,Farscape’s human protagonist also experiences several emotional, heartfelt storylines with several members of his crew.
He’s highly adaptable to whoever he’s paired off with.
With D’Argo,Crichton always steps up to the plate as a brave warrior.
With Zhaan, Browder’s character isn’t even beyond slipping into a spiritual mindset.
It’s this flexible nature that makes him so brilliant, plus his own core values.
