"After more than a decade, Farscape is coming back in what is likely to be a TV movie. The film would follow John and Aeryn's son, D'Argo. Because their baby was exhibiting a set of interesting powers that made him a magnet for galactic villains, we find that John and Aeryn hide their son on Earth to grow up. Now the kid is 19 and ready to go into space with his parents."

I'm not sure I get the Superman reference, but if "American" is your beef, Farscape is not particularly so. It's more Australian then anything else.

I presume that he was reffering to that whole "son gifted with "interesting powers" hiding on earth" thing for the article.

I suspect he is referring John and Aeryn leaving there son on Earth to grow up. Kinda Superman'ish.
For me, the shows strong points were the characters. The interactions between John, Harvey, and Scorpius completely make the show for me, but you have to work your way up to those. At points it feels like a D&D game in space. The show provides the bad guys, teaches you to hate them, and then makes them your friend in a round about way. The fun and often crazy insane interactions between the shipmates make them all oh so likeable.
The one thing I didn't care for was all of the monster of the week episodes. It helped flesh out some characters, but they always left me wanting them to get back to the story arch. Granted, I've rewatched the series ~4 times now, and these bother me less now than the first watch through.
Scorpius: Kill her. Then we'll have pizza and margarita shooters. Go on, John. Kill her. Do it. Do it.
John Crichton: [aims gun at Scorpius instead] Nobody has margaritas with pizza.

I'd forgotten how delightfully gruesome and fruity Scorpius was! I'm thinking now I might queue it up again just to see his craziness all over.

Or did you mean "I suspect he is referring John and Aeryn leaving their son on Earth to grow up."? I ask because "For me, the shows strong points were the characters" left the apostrophe out of "show's". Spelling and punctuation are important in written communications. There's a reason that there, their, and they're are spelled differently.

Agreed.

FTFY.
