Oh, there's an angle I couldn't name. Yes, that makes a big difference. I'm one of the people who respond very differently to John Crichton than to other typical white male TV protagonists. Hmm, the only non-white male TV protagonist I can think of offhand is Benjamin Sisko, who has some similar attributes to John Crichton, including the increasing assimilation to what is around him and ultimately leaving the culture he came from behind (an ending that I'm not fond of, but I haven't seen Farscape's ending yet to compare).
