FRELLING FANTASTIC:
When the time came to dream up all the spoofs in the landmark two-hundredth episode, Farscape was an easy choice. It was Ben and Claudia’s former show, and the cast and crew jumped at the chance to play versions of those characters — Amanda as Chiana, Chris as D’Argo, Claudia as Aeryn, Michael as Crichton, Ben as Stark, and Thor as Rygel.
In fact, Ben was originally supposed to play his old character, John Crichton. But on the day of shooting he and Michael decided to switch roles — a tip of the hat to all those who thought the two looked too much alike when Ben first joined the SG-1 cast.
Farscape was just the most fun spoof. Because we had Ben and Claudia there. It was so much fun. And at the last minute Ben and Michael switched. So it was great.
