Interview  |  Anthony Simcoe
Technobabble

Picture What do you think about the amount of technobabble on the show?

One of the great things about the writers of Farscape is that they�re very aware of technobabble themselves. We don�t see ourselves as a show that purports to demonstrate how science will facilitate the world or how it will work in the future. We really feel that Star Trek does that better than anyone, so we asked ourselves "How can we move away from that?" The specificity of the science isn�t something that we really concern ourselves with.

We see ourselves more as a fantasy adventure romp set on the other side of the universe. So we really don�t come across much technobabble in our texts. We try and find our way away from those problems because the science doesn�t interest us in this show. It interests us but not in Farscape.
