Farscape: A Leader In Pseudo-Bondage Poses


Farscape the TV series is long gone, but I wish SOMEBODY would follow SOME of the trails it blazed.


Normally, if you are looking at a woman kneeling with her head pressed to the ground, her kneels spread wide apart, butt hiked into the air, wrists tied behind her back, gagged with a ball-looking thing, she's naked and you're looking at bondage porn. ( See the very last image on my post about Jakki Degg to see excatly what I'm talking about.)

But this scene from "Farscape" in which alien prostitute Chyanna (played by Gigi Edgerly) is captured by someone for some reason or other is, um, not porn. Who cares what the rationale for its existence is? The point is the pseudo-bondage pose, however it's arrived at.

Farscape has done this sort of thing before with Claudia Black in the mother of all beam shots (except that she's clothed).

The idea of spicing up bondage imagery with poses copied from commercial bondage porn except the women are clothed is brilliant, and so far as I know, completely unfollowed-up-on by other series. What is everyone waiting for? Farscape has blazed a glorious trail, why does no one follow?
