Why does everyone in Farscape speak english?

guy goes into a wormhole ends up across the universe only to find a bunch of english speaking aliens not only on the ship but every single world he visits.

It's the same thing in Star Trek. English is the official language of the universe.

Watch the pilot episode; they don't. Translator microbes FTW Edit: Sourcedxaos

but how do all other inhabitants of different planets have this microbe? did they only have it on the ship?

Why they speak english:

Characters from foreign countries usually speak english in a foreign accent instead of their native tongue in movies, because subtitles don't sit well with audiences. It's sort of a cop out, but not a big deal because there's an unspoken agreement between audiences and directors that states: "we, the audience, don't want to read and in return, we promise not to make a big fuss about you dumbing down society and culture."

if they did not speak English how could you watch the show.

you are complaining about what?

if a show is spoken in a language you do not understand you need captioning.

movies and games that have multiple captioning it is fun to run through with the various choices to see the translation.

It's for the same reason that Shepard's ship in ME2 HAS bathrooms but you never actually wander into one and find someone in the act of dropping a smelly load. There's a limit to how much realism people really want in their games/movies/books/etc.nocoolnamejim
