Alas, I haven't seen Farscape. It's on my list of "things to do before I die." Especially if one of my friends gets the DVDs and I can watch it free. ;)
Highlander's not a great show, but Methos is a great character. If you skip everything else and just watch his episodes, you'll probably be better off (unsurprisingly, most of the best episodes have him in them, even though he's only in something like 1/5 of the total).
I still like unsouled Spike as a character, but I'm sick of the bullshit that surrounds him.
Today, I read someone I otherwise like arguing that Spike saved the world in Chosen for "selfish" reasons, to please Buffy. This is the kind of bullshit for which I have no longer have any patience whatsoever. I'm sick of Spike and sick of the Buffyverse--it's an ugly, hypocritical place. Spike was a good character who was a victim of a bad show (or, a show with a really sick "moral" perspective), and it's not his fault, but it still makes his story heartbreaking and frustrating and sickening for me to watch.
