Can't wait to see the conclusion. Claudia Black posted on the Sci-Fi boards that the second half is supposed to be a doozy

please, farscape fans in here only

I can't wait. From everything I have heard, which isn't much since I have been avoiding spoilers like the plague, this is supposed to be even better than last night. From how awsome last night was that is saying something.

I wonder if most colleges try to not have the Sci-Fi channel in the cable packages they purchase for their on campus residents. At both PSU and now at Temple, no luck. It would be nice if there was an alternate means of watching this show...

 

[Tenguman]

LoL @ Aeryn shooting while giving birth

"Honey put down the gun."
"But it makes me feel better!"

I'm sure you can find it on the net later on. It would suck not to have the Sci-Fi Channel. Crap.. for some reason, I missed the beginning.. I'm sure they will replay it like they did the first at 10 pm central

 

[DarthWoo]

Yeah, I knew of one place that I could find it, but that disappeared. Fortunately, a substitute was easy to come by. It's been so long, could someone give me a quick synopsis of what happened in the last few aired episodes?

Spoiler

I remember an episode where they make it back to Earth, but Crichton decides it is too dangerous to stay, and so they depart. I also remember an episode with Crichton talking to these guys in suits on what appeared to be an iceberg floating in space, where he was trapped between dimensions or something like that.

Thanks. Damn, guess I was way behind when I went back to school.

 

[Tenguman]

HELL THAT WAS AWESOME

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

I don't know what else to say.... damn.

 

[Tenguman]

I'm blown away. I dunno if I can start studying tonight now....must see it again...

 

[Lonestar]

woo, that was a tough last half. Good good good though.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

That was so freaking awesome. There better be another mini-series, a movie, or hopefully a spin-off series or blood will spill.

Edit - I should add, that if it doesn't continue, at least they wrapped everything up nicely.

 

[kaching]

Heh - so that's the condensed version of Season 5. I liked, for the most part...

Spoiler

D'Argo's death literally reduces some of the eagerness I had to see any continuing story. He was a real cornerstone of the cast for me. I suppose a ghost D'Argo could become John's new imaginary friend but it just wouldn't be the same and would probably feel too much like relying on old tricks.

No payoff on the Grayza pregnancy - funny how they made a big deal out of Peacekeeper accelerated pregnancies for Aeryn but Grayza waddles around for 4 hrs looking far more pregnant than Aeryn ever did the whole time...

Sikozu a spy for the Scarrans? WTF? Wasn't she a specially altered member of her species, specifically as part of a resistance movement?

Ummm...how do you only manage to ignite *some* of the gas in a room?

Would have preferred to have seen less of Stark and more of Naranti, believe it or not.

The conflict between the Real Scorpius and John goes out with a ... whimper. A little disappointing really.

But, damn, if that wasn't one of the coolest onscreen SciFi WMDs EVER.

I think the reason Grayza was pregnant was because the actress who plays her is pregnant and the producers decided to just go with it and let it be unexplained. Truthfully, it sort of sounded like it might have been the Grand-Chancellor's during the first part. Then I may have just been seeing something that wasn't really there.

I wouldn't have minded seeing more Naranti either. She has grown on me a lot. I remember when she was first on the show I wondered what the hell the writers were thinking.

Jothee also ended up being pretty good, and he wasn't nearly as annoying as I normally find him. I think it was a different actor playing him too.

Spoiler

They fucking killed D'argo!

At least they ended it well.

 

[kaching]

Yeah, you can tell the actress who played Grayza was actually pregnant, but they did absolutely nothing with it and it really just introduced a plot hole compare against Aeryn's pregnancy. Not to take anything away from the actress who played Grayza for still participating in such an advance state of pregnancy but it did feel a little unsatisfying in that it proved to be nothing other than window trapping.

I guess they will probably use it assuming they have any future Farscape planned. At the very least they should have explained it off by claiming the human/sebacean interbreeding (if you can call it that with what we now know) speed up the birthing process. Either that or maybe once a Peacekeeper reaches a certain rank, they no longer are forced to have genetically accelerated births.

 

[Tenguman]

that or Grayza's species can't have accelerated births

[Tenguman]

w00t! Now bring down those season-box prices and I'm good to go

 

[Lonestar]

I swear, at time, Noranti looked totally different in the face. Could the actress be unable to don the makeup or something? It's like she totally fell off the face of the world after the first half of the 1st part. Her screentime in part 2, was almost off screen. A far off, non-lighted scene.

 

[maharg]

Wow. I'm not a huge fan of the show, but that was a hell of an ending.

 

[ManaByte]

Now that Farscape is done, everyone needs to check out the Battlestar Galactica series that starts in January. It's EXCELLENT. It's airing Monday nights on Sky One in the UK, so you may be able to track down copies of the episodes before hand. It's the next really great Sci-Fi series and is being helmed by one of the best TNG writers ever Ron Moore.

They did do something with it.. they used it as a plot device to convince her to agree with John's point of view at the end.

I'd have to agree with this. The Battlestar Galactica mini series was great, way exceeded my expectations, which were low.

I'm talking about the actual series, which is better than the mini series was
