Title: Pro Jumps used in Farscape.
Post by: Kanga Man on March 28, 2007, 09:09:06 AM

Did anyone see the episode of Farscape called the Mad Scientist. I'm trying to get a full picture of the mad scientist in the show because he was a wierd looking rat like person with strange legs that bent the wrong way. I'm sure he was wearing PJ's.

I want to design a costume to go with mine.

Yeah that was the guy in farscape I was talking about. Now I see they are definitely not PJs. They don't look half as fun but I'd still like to try and get hold of a pair just to use in clubs with the right costume.

Actually looking at the video again, and that picture of the mad scientist from Farscape, I bet they wouldn't be as uncomfortalbe as you'd think. See that bar that goes from the side of the ankle up to the hip. It liiks like that must support the weight. I'd imagine they hold you kind of if you were half way sitting down.
