10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Farscape

Farscape fans are found across the globe. With streaming services making shows more accessible, new fans are still discovering the early 2000s classic. This also means there are those who grew up watching the show now working in the film industry.

One such fan is director, James Gunn. When Gunn was asked on Twitter by fans whether Farscape had any influence on Guardians of the Galaxy, his response was "most definitely YES."

Scapers may have noticed similarities in both series in presentation as well as characters. John Crichton and Starlord share striking resemblances with their pop culture wise-cracks and leather-clad space wear. Ka D'argo and Drax share a similar dry humor and misunderstanding of their respective human comrades.

Dominar Rygel and Rocket Raccoon are self-centered, but when the team needs them, they're ready to step up. The romance between Crichton and Aeryn Sun is played out in similar fashion to Starlord and Gamora's tense relationship. Even the chemistry of the ragtag group who start out on less than friendly terms only to develop into a twisted little family is a theme explored and delivered well by both series.

Ben Browder (John Crichton) even made a "golden" cameo in Vol. 2 as the Admiral to Sovereign Ayesha. A small part that even the keenest eyed Scaper may have missed.
