You take that back!

I know, right? Sacrilege! Haha.

I never knew about the recut, but presumably it gets rid of a lot of the monster-of-the-week content?

When I watched it, I couldn't really tell what was missing.

It did flow more smoothly than the original cut, but that's probably mostly just thanks to not having to hit an exact target length in minutes.

I suspect that much of the cut content was the puppet character establishing side story bits and short side story vignettes. (Which I adore. But I didn't notice them missing. Of course, that might be only because I've already seen them.)

I don't think any of that was actually bad. It didn't move the overarching plot along all the time, but that wasn't the point.

I agree. The cut version is genuinely surprisingly great, but I think that's mostly due to how great Farscape is, in general.

I actually prefer the fulll version.

The Farscape re-cut wasn't so much necessary, as an impressive feat of thoughtful editing.

Do you know about how much it cut out?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I want to say a little over half? From memory, I think shows were 18-22 minutes when it was made. And the re-cut got each episode down to around 10 minutes.
