Then for the die hard fans, which i am! They made the peacekeeper wars! I was like :o and then :D! lol, i couldnt help but be happy. this is my fav show above all others including heroes. I bought all four seasons and the peacekeeper wars just so i can watch it over and over again. Everytime i see it i get excited. Its funny dramatic and has the best couple! The peacekeeper wars was awesome! i loved scorpious in this when he interupts john and aeriyns wedding. but then the scarins come in and that was mind blowing. Rygell caring their child was the hilarious part though. Its like having a parasite inside me, was just too funny to say to a mom wanting to feel pregnant. i recomend this show to anyone who wants a little sci fi humor and action all rolled into one. the graphics are the best too! they are wicked cool with special effects and the actors are awesome!moreless

An outstanding conclusion to a spectacular series that was rudely and prematurely cancelled by an uncaring network.

A fitting conclusion that nicely explained most of the questions fans had at the end of season 4. Breathtaking special effects and a stirring musical score. I would never spoil this for you by revealing the plot so I am sorry if you came here for spoilers! Go buy the DVD and watch it and see for yourself! You will not be disappointed.

Great work Brian Henson, David Kemper, Rockne O'Bannon and the cast and crew! Ya done gooood! We (the fans) could not have hoped for anything better and you certainly did not disappoint us. All the campaining and waiting was worth it.moreless

I was looking forward to the peace-keeper wars but found that the continuity sucked.

I was left very disappointed by the ending. If you are gonna finish off a series like this you need to make sure that the makeup for all the characters is the same as in the series, just because you got a different actor to play dargo's son the makeup didn't need to change. I would have much preferred to have another full series to end the show properly, and not this rubbish they showed. I have always been a big fan of Farscape and wish they had never canceled the series.moreless

Part one of the Mini series...

The only word i can use to sum up what i have just watched is WOW! I mean i think that the Peacekeeper Wars may be the best mini series i have ever seen. It is so great to have John and Aeryn back, and even the rest of Moya. So this episode takes place 60 days after the season 4 final where Crichton and Aeryn died! So D'Argo manages to get someone to bring them back, but all is not well. The Peacekeepers are now at war with the Scarrans and Rygel is somehow carrying John and Aeryn's baby. Cricton and Aeryn want to settle down, but they know that as long as he contains the wormhole knowedge he does both the Scarrans and the Peacekeepers will come in search of him. He is a means to the end of the war, if he creats a wormhole weapon. This episode was just so well written, it make you wonder what season five of Farscape would have been like if it was ever made. Thsi episode brought back Jool and D'Argo's son. I was shocked when they killed Jool and also i really thought Chiana wand D'Argo were dead. This episode left us with a big cliff hanger, it now seens that no matter what the crew of Moya do, the War will continue. I also loved that we got to see the Unrealized Reality again. I have to say that i can't wait for part two, what will Grayza do? and wil they stop the war. Are they all ok now that they have been gassed? I don't know, i am going to watch part 2 now...moreless

Closure to the Series

This 2-part TV "movie" gave the four-year series some closure.

While the show was in its fourth year, there were rumors of a nation-wide cinema release of the Farscape motion picture. Since the series was uncerimoniously canceled, The SciFi Channel opted to make The Peacekeepers a SciFi Original movie.

Without spoiling the movie for those who have not seen it yet, this movie lived up to its expectations, and if you liked the series, you will love the movie.

I was a big fan of the series, and bought the video sets.

This show and Sliders were my two favorite SCiFi Channel original series.

MenifeeManiac, out.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Nitpick: Pilot's voice, which is provided by actor Lani Tupu as always, is different than that used during most of the run of the series. It's much deeper, more similar to Lani's natural voice, which he used when playing his other role, Crais.
  Edit
- Crichton and Scorpius have come a long way- when they are attacked by the PK mercenaries, John hands Scorpius a rifle. In all of their previous encounters as problematical allies, Crichton never trusted Scorpius enough to allow him to be armed. He did give him a weapon for one encounter with a group of bounty hunters in the episode "I Shrink, Therefore I Am", but the rifle was not loaded. Edit
- Nitpick: The Eidolons of the water planet and Arnessk have a very different appearance from the priests seen in Crichton's vision of the past, and then later when the lost priests returned to Arnessk, in the season four episode "What Was Lost: Resurrection". Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- *Linal Haft, who plays Grand Chancellor Maryk, appeared as the Zenetan pirate Zelkin in the season 2 episodes "Liars, Guns and Money: With Friends Like These..." and "Liars, Guns and Money: Plan B". *Sandy Gore, who plays the role of the Eidolon Muoma, was also the Judge in the episode third season "Dream A Little Dream" and Nurse Vreena in the fourth season episodes "Prayer" "We're So Screwed: Fetal Attraction". Edit
- Grayza was not originally scripted as pregnant in the mini-series, but the script was adjusted to reflect Rebecca Riggs' condition. Edit
- When Crichton is interrogated by the Eidolons and has to explain his situation, he says he does it for the 89th time. This refers to Ben Browder's voice over for the opening sequence in 87 episodes of the series, plus the beginning of the "Peacekeeper Wars" miniseries. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Rygel: (when asked to perform the wedding ceremony) Carry their baby. Marry them off. What next? Let them move in? (sighs, then sees that they're annoyed) What? Crichton: Your know, forget about it. This is all wrong. Aeryn: Stop! (she points her pulse pistol at Rygel) YOU, are ruining my wedding! Crichton: Honey? Aeryn: What? Crichton: You're pointing a gun at the baby. (Aeryn considers this, and reluctantly re-holsters her weapon) Edit
- Stark: (after learning that their hosts are Eidolons) D'Argo, D'Argo, a miracle! Eidelons, Jool, Arnessk, peace! (D'Argo tongues him to stop his raving) D'Argo: (to Noranti) Okay, what's he talking about? Noranti: Eidelons, Jool, Arnessk, peace! D'Argo: (rolling his eyes) Thank you. Edit
- Maryk: Where the Hezmana in my orders did you find the phrase 'preemptive attack'?! Scorpius: The Scarrans are massing for an impending onslaught we all know is coming! A conflict we are ill situated to win. By challenging them before they are prepared, we have a fighting chance. Maryk: You were sent to gather surveillance... Scorpius: With all due respect, sir, I was sent here to perish at the vanguard of this inevitable conflict. I simply refuse to participate on their terms, or yours! Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Crichton: Hierarch, listen, these are not chirpy, Saturday morning Sleestacks coming! Sleestacks are the reptilian humanoids from the Saturday morning live action cartoon Land of the Lost. Edit
- Crichton: Well, other than being shot at by the Electric Mayhem... I'm fantastic! "The Electric Mayhem" is the name of the house band of Muppets from The Muppet Show, created by Jim Henson. Edit
- Crichton: No I'm just a guy without a brain. The Lion here would like some courage. Tin Man, he just needs a heart. Toto here just wants an easy birth! And Dorothy here, she just looking for a way home. Crichton talking to the Eidelons about peace using The Wizard Of Oz. He refers to Himself (Scarecrow), Stark (Lion), Scorpius (Tin Man), Rygel (Toto), one of Eidelon descendants (Dorothy). Edit
