I only hope that they let it end this way.  Sure there are a bunch of 
devoted Scapers who will want more, but unlike the terrible unresolved 
ending to season four, this was a fine and true ending for the series.  
Of course, if they bring the series back, we never really did see D'argo 
die.

Yes, always great to see old characters, and yes, we deserved to finally 
see the wormhole weapon in all its glory.

Yes, too rushed and great Rygel scene

Farscape always played fast-and-loose with plot logic and science.  Why 
would the miniseries be any different?

Loved Aeryn's line about how shooting at the bad guys made her feel better.

Of course, just how long the peace lasts is anybody's guess.  I also 
liked how we finally found out how the ironically named peacekeepers got 
their name.

I always had a love/hate relationship with the show, but this definitely 
shouldn't be missed by fans of the series.  On the other hand, if you 
had never seen the series before I don't believe you can really 
appreciate the miniseries.

Cheers, Harry
