  All most at the end now.... hide show

  Wow does not describe how good this episode was. I was so hooked on every moment of it. It was just so well written all the way through. So Crichton lets of the nuclear weapon inside the Scarran base, causing one hell of a mess and a lot of problems. But the highlight of this episode was definatly Grayza pleading to John to give her the wormhole knoledge, because if she goes back to command without he is finished. And when she said that they really are finished i felt for her. But when she ordered Bracca to be killed i was shocked, but what was better was where the guard turned on Grayza insted. Now this was a great episode to end the show on, but we still have one more episode. It appears now that war with the Peacekeepers and Scarrans in unstoppable. I just love this show so much and seriously SCIFI went wrong big time by cancelling this show. Overall this is probably one of the best episodes of Farscape ever. I just hope the final episode is as good as this one was, but i can't believe that it's almost over now.

  Do you agree?

  Exciting doesn't cover it. What an episode! What a series. Loose ends tied up and no sounds of plots being shoe-horned in. TV writing at its best. This could so easily have been a season finale. hide show

  And so we have Crichton & the Great Rock Elevator! What an episode - great lines, great laughs, great effects and a great plot. Everyone in the cast got something good to do, we found out what Sikozu is for and Braca finally got his own ship. And possibly one of the best Farscape line ever: "I can't believe I left a nuclear bomb in an elevator. How embarrassing." Classic. The episode contained all the elements Farscape does well. There were constant surprises, like Crichton having a conversation with Scorpy in his head and in the flesh simultaneously – bizarre or what? There was great acting - I particularly liked Scorpy losing it in the flower garden, great dialogue and superb action sequences. The programme is so economical in its use of time. We don’t need to know why the flowers are important - we know that if Scorpius is willing to trade wormholes for their destruction they are about as important as they can get. We don’t need to see every phase of the escape once the bomb goes off. Our heroes have done enough to justify getting clear to us. And everyone (more or less) ended up happy. Although the thought of a Sputnik/Scorpy tie-up is a bit creepy, it is good to see Pip and the Captain reconciled. Maybe I’ll stop watching now, and remember the series at its best. Unless Claudia Black is going to do that smile again. In that case I might tune in.
