Yes
There's a lol when you know something is funny, but you can't laugh in real life or coworkers will know you aren't working.

I never saw the appeal of farscape
It's as if someone took the Pigs in Space part of the Muppet Show and stretched it out to 4 seasons.
nicely done, Micto

Hah, Rigel looked a bit shit but the other puppets were generally fairly well done.
Better than the generic Star Trek 'everything being basically a human with lumps on its face' anyway.
Plus the main character was essentially having a prolonged mental breakdown.

No, you're definitely thinking of lost there.

No, I think he's referring to the Sci-Fi equivalent of
Rainbow.

In 1979, the cast and crew of Rainbow made a special exclusive sketch for the Thames TV staff Christmas tape, sometimes referred to as the "Twangers" episode. This show featured plenty of deliberate sexual innuendo (beginning with Zippy peeling a banana, saying "One skin, two skin, three skin, four..." before being interrupted), and never shown at the time (as it was never intended to be screened to the general public).
The show even had Roger saying the word "fuck", when he greeted everyone upon entering the set. This can be heard clearly from his sentence "Hello, everybody, hello! Fuck." Jane also claimed she was blowing with Roger the night before. It also included Geoffrey convincing the viewers to play with their balls, but if they didn't have any balls, they could ask a friend and play with his. Jane also claimed that she was banging with Rod and Roger. Soon, Zippy asked them to stop suggesting whether to play with a blowing tube and maracas, so they could start singing the 'Plucking Song'.
The clip became famous after being aired on Victor Lewis-Smith's Channel 4 programme TV Offal (1997) and was jokingly referred to as "the pilot episode", which it clearly wasn't as Geoffrey Hayes was presenter at the time. The clip has become widely-spread, first in emails as an attachment and later via online video websites such as YouTube. This has led to many erroneous claims that the episode was publicly broadcast as a regular episode.

I have faith that Cuse and Lindelof will deliver in the final season :)
/has stuck with it, and still enjoys it, and more has been answered than you might think.
This being said, I can see why some people get frustrated with it.

I'm worried now.
It just seemed to get a bit dull, thus I gave up. Was I wrong?

Season 5 proved a belter, a REAL belter
everything came back into it, with a lovely twist at the end.
Things are shaped nicely now for a real blitz for next year's final season.
After the disappointing season 3, and the nicely paced season 4, it's hit a real stride now in the 5th season.
and they've promised answers - REAL answers. (Smokey is due to be answered as part of the big finale next year) Mind you, I've stuck with it for 5 years and managed to follow it all, so I will see it through to the end, barring death.

Well, sir, I have an immense respect for your taste in TV stuff.

oooh, have they? nice one
I was wondering if it would get picked up for a fifth season.
and yes, trust me, Lost season 5 hits a high pace right at the start, and - I don't say this lightly - there's not a duff epsiode in the entire season**
**or your money back

I didn't get frustrated with it.
It was just both stupid and boring.
The only redeeming features was the characters originally but that wore pretty thin.

I also liked farscape.
For many reasons, most of which are covered by:
- Everyone including the goodies were complete tossbags.
- The blue lass was sex on legs.
- erm.....
- the big fat one screamed like a little pansy because the two main characters die at the end.
These are among the most compelling arguments you will ever find supporting a show.

It was worse than that.
When I were a nipper, our house was bloody baltic in the winter, so you had to stay in the sitting room. Mum ontrolled the remote with a totalitarianism akin to Mr Jong-Il and thus we were forced to watch every last drop of this rotting carcass of a show.

OK, so only -1
There has to be a penalty.
I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

From the all-knowing wikipedia
"[Space Precint aired] on BBC2 between 18 September 1995 and 4 March 1996"
Which would have made me 11 for the whole run.

Well I used to watch it and enjoyed it immensely!
So there! Although according to Cadmus' post above, I was only 10.

I've only seen one Farscape
I want to see more as people say I remind them of the pilot, I need to find out whether this is good or bad.
