Quotes from "Making of Farscape Documentary" on DVD #1 (Premier & I, E.T.)
Rockne S. O'Bannon:
"A man from Earth, John Crichton, Astronaut/Scientist, goes up one day in a one-man module, to orbit the Earth. His intention is to conduct an experiment. At the crucial moment of the experiment, an error occurs. And he's suddenly catapulted through a Wormhole, a short cut if you will, through time and space, and he ends up, essentially, on the other side of the Universe. Once there, he meets and boards a ship of very unusual characters."
"Just something that television's never really attempted."
Actor Lani John Tupu, who portrays "Captain Crais" and provides voice for "Pilot":
