Hee! New Farscape Trailer It rocks. (And, um, that's the small one version. Here is the larger version: New Farscape Trailer! )

And, after years of listening to the bullshit of Joss Whedon, can I just say how much I adore Farscape's David Kemper? David Kemper Interview

Quotage:

"People always want to know about the sex and sexual tension on Farscape. Most of the people who work on Farscape and create Farscape like sex therefore why not put it in the show? It's somewhat revolutionary only because I think certain people who worked on other science fiction shows were afraid to tackle the subject"

[and let me insert here: And SOME (glaring in Joss's direction) have "issues" and think that sex is evil! Grr!]

"I said this in the very beginning, how can you lock 6 men and 6 women up in a tiny ship for three years together and not expect something to happen? I just don't understand that (laugh) so we thought [sex] just might have to happen on Farscape. (laugh) ... Sex on our show is integral because it's part of life, and the sexual tension between Crichton and Aeryn is the real center of Farscape. That is what Farscape is about. It's an extraordinary journey of two people who are perhaps meant to be together but haven't been able to figure out how. I think the people who watch the miniseries will find a great deal of satisfaction in where this journey goes."

"These [fans] aren't teenaged girls writing a letter saying 'I love you. Send me your picture.' These are sophisticated, really smart people. [...] Overall you meet people who say 'I'm a neurosurgeon.' 'I'm a nurse.' 'I'm a marine biologist' [...] And you just go 'wait a minute. These are our fans. They're smarter than we are!' I mean, I'm just a television writer. These people are smart."
