Farscape
#4
My sister liked Farscape, mostly for the character development. Writing fiction for a space opera like Farscape (or OA) should be character driven, as well as driven by ideas.

I do notice that the main character Crichton is basically the same as Buck Rogers, a 20th century astronaut propelled into a futuristic and alien civilisation. The same thing happens to Charlton Heston in that ape movie. This is a useful plot device to anchor the strange happenings in the story to someone the audience might identify with, and we have considered using the same device in OA stories ourselves - but the trick is to do it in a new way. A 21st century every(wo)man could be a refugee from a historical simulation, for instance.
