Father Jack on Farscape!

[vilakins]

Last night we watched more of Farscape season 4. It was A Prefect Murder ... and bwahahaha, Father Jack was in it!

For those of you who don't know, Father Jack is the mad old priest in the wonderful Father Ted who sits in his chair muttering, "Feck! Arse! Drink! Girls!" every now and then. The alien priest Paroos looked just like him, but with horns, and this can't be coincidence. The muppet-makers must have modelled him in homage to Father Jack, and possibly as a subtle reference to Crichton's father being called Jack too.

And here they are!



For any fan of both shows, here's an icon I couldn't resist making. If you want it, take it, but copy it to your own HD first.

Ah, that episode needs some livening up if you ask me. :)

Yeah, when you look at it, the plot was pretty thin.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was. Apparently TPTB realized it, too, as they made that desperate attempt to make it more interesting with the weird story structure and the funky camera stuff. I admire Farscape for being willing to try unconventional stuff like that, but it doesn't always work, and IMHO this was one example where it didn't work. Not one of my favorite episodes, although I suppose it really wasn't helped by the fact that my cable was so bad the first time I watched it that I could hardly see what was going on.

I have issues with the next one too, but I'll post on that.
