Why this vid kicks ass:

There are so many remarkable and amazing Vidders in farscape fandom producing remarkable and amazing Vids, that this was probably the toughest rec I’ve made yet. However, this won out over my other choices for one reason only – it was the one I simply could not believe hadn’t been rec’d yet.

“Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99…” Baz Lurhman’s advice for life is funny, touching, and oh so true, which makes it a perfect fit for Farscape. While many of the references work best with an in-depth knowledge of the Farscape Universe, they also work for the casual viewer – it’s only watching it later after having seen all the episodes that you realized how much you missed, when at the time you didn’t feel like you were missing anything at all.

If you’ve been skimming these recs, still not sure if you want to bother with this fandom or not, watch this vid. I guarantee you’ll have made up your mind by the end of it. If this vid doesn’t make you a ‘scaper, nothing will.

Okay. Okay, I.. need to watch that show. Someday. Good god, the puppets.

Thank you.

Good god, the puppets.

And they didn't even show the muppet porn!

Ahem.

Yes, you need to watch this show. It is a thing of beauty, pain, cracktastic insanity, and copious bodily fluids. And one of the puppets will make you cry.

BOTH of the puppets make ME cry. Ryg has his moments. But yeah. Awwww, Pilot.

You're very very welcome. Thank YOU. May I strongly reccomend shaye's overview (http://www.livejournal.com/community/crack_van/12355.html?style=mine)? It's spoilery beyond beleif, but it very much captures the feel of this wacky wacky show we've come to love.

If you choose to skip it, here are the two most important parts: this is every bit as gross as it sounds (but still awesome), and the muppets will make you cry.
