Jes
Battis
offers the first ^critical reading of
imaginative worlds and its characters, from Crichton,
D Argo,~Znãanf
RygeJ,
Chiana
an
to Pilot and
Moya
herself. He proposes that
Farscape
¡s
as much about bodies, sex and gender as it
■
is about wormholes, space ships and interstellar warfare. It is this straddling of genres that makes
the show so viewable to such a broad audience, of which almost half are women. Taking in a
diverse spectrum of social issues within SF, including racism, imperialism and inter-species sex,
he asks what does it mean to be human or alien within the uncharted territories of Farscape s
universe? Who are the anthropologists and who are the extraterrestrials? How does John
Crichton, a lost astronaut, discover a new home aboard
Moya,
and what separates Crichton from
his SF predecessors?
This exciting and original book features a detailed Lexicon of Farscape s alien languages. It
reveals how the show both parodies and surpasses other SF shows like Star Trek and Babylon
5
and why TV Guide calls it one of the sexiest and most irreverent sci-fi shows on television .
Jes
Battis
teaches in the Department of English, Simon
Fraser
University. He is the author of Blood
Relations: Chosen Families in Buffythe Vampire Slayer and Angel.
