"My name is John Crichton, an astronaut. A radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole. Now I'm lost in some distant part of the universe on a ship – a living ship, full of strange alien life forms. Help me. Listen, please. Is there anybody out there who can hear me? I'm being hunted by an insane military commander. I’m doing everything I can. I'm just looking for a way home..."

John Crichton. Astronaut. Flung through a wormhole and lost in a galaxy far from home. He finds himself in the middle of a prison break, surrounded by hostile aliens, soaring through space inside a glorious living spaceship called Moya. Hunted by the relentless Peacekeepers, he allies himself with his unimaginably alien fellow refugees and searches for a way home. So begins the epic sci-fi classic Farscape.
Video dedicated to lolo (YouTube), who has requested a "best of Dr. Mac" video. So, here we have Dr. Elizabeth Macmillan, the sassiest, snarkiest and coolest girl in town. Also the best friend Phryne could ever ask for. Enjoy! 💖
P.S. If you think the video is a little bit chaotic, it's because Mac is very unpredictable. She doesn't have a certain style and she easily switches sides. She doesn't care if Phryne is her oldest friend or that Jack has even arrested her once. She'll take whoever's side she feels like, depending on her mood. But we love her anyway. 💖

Professor Bradbury was an arrogant and ignorant misogynistic, racist murderer who should rot in hell, but he did get one thing right. Dr. Elizabeth MacMillan was indisputably brilliant. She also had an excellent sense of humor and was a sharp dresser, neither of which qualities his narrow mind and pea brain would ever understand or appreciate.
