NP man, i can see why that would be confusing if you haven't watched the series.

I think it showed that he was connected to the wormhole parallels and such.  I never really watched the series, but I watched this miniseries.  The Judge might be disappointed, then again, maybe he won't be.  I don't think any of the girls are that pretty though, just so he knows.

Interesting end however...thought it would come to something like that...it probably wraps up the series nicely from what I can tell of the series plot from the miniseries.

Now where in the Bible does it say if someone does something stupid you should shoot them in the face?"

How depressing, I really liked Dargo.  He kicked ass.

I will point out that nobody actually saw Dargo die.

He was on a planet with a bunch of transports, and so what if we saw the doc get shot in the head - for all we know, his species can survive that, and he patched Dargo up, and they stole another transport - or someone took Dargo prisoner after he became unconscious.

Never count anyone out on Farscape - even if you see them die gruesomely.

Unless the suits pull the plug on Farscape.....
They are more powerful than Scarans & Peacekeepers combined.....

Is that to be it? Any talk of restarting the series?

Not that I know of, this was supposed to finish off the series for us.

i agree that dargo probably isn't dead.

i was a little upset at the "marvel-comics"-esque way in which chriton and airen where brought back from the dead...after i got over that i was starting to like the mini-series. there were some great little jokes in there. (i especially liked harvey doing the dr. stranglove thing and the message in the mirror thing)

there were some pretty big plot holes though that i didn't really like. (what a gestation period anyway)
chriton really needs to use some "lube" on his medical tools...ewww...

i really liked the whole birth in the hottub image. that was great. well filmed and everything.
i yelled out loud when dargo "died".

i loved the whole speech on moiya about the new dargo, "this is your playground" it brought a tear to my eye.

i'm not sure chriton should have stopped the wormhole from expanding. i don't trust that peacekeeper bitch or the scarans ass#$*$s. i am SOOOO glad that airen killed that scaran bitch.

i can't help but relate "phantom of the opera guy" with c-3po sorry. heh he gets bitch-slapped enough.

overall i like it and expect that we will see more farscape movies like this, like they did with babylon 5. i give this one about an 85%

ta,

He had little choice if the galaxy was to survive.  Moiya was going to go down the wormhole before either of the two commanders' flagships.  Either he believed they were ready to talk peace, or everyone in the galaxy died.

Like I said in another forum...

IMHO D'Argo is dead as a doornail. Sad really I think he was the Leviathan anchor on the show and next to John was my favorite character. The thing that convinces me that D'Argo is dead is that John and Aeryn named their son "D'Argo". Bring those two characters back and things are going to get confusing to the general audience.

As for Sikozu and Grunchlik my guess is that they got off the planet before it went boom. Grunchlik may have called Sikozu a "fool" but he was looking at her like a newfound birthday present for above. So my guess is that Grunchlik took Sikozu safely off the planet in a transport just before the planet and D'Argo became wormhole food.

So my guess is that Sikozu will come back in any new installments of Farscape. Sikozu will wait until Grunchik fixes her up and then Pummel Grunchik into the ground and leave at the first opportunity. It's not like Sikozu needs D'Argo to take care of the likes of Grunchik. This fits in well, since Scorpius was not happy about the peace treaty that was signed and will likely cause trouble. Scorpius may need help from Sikozu, as the Peacekeepers will not freely allow Scorpius to violate that treaty. Hence we see the return of Scorpius and Sikozu as a couple.

It looks like my guess the Peacekeeper Wars = Season of Death - Part Jool shaped up pretty well.   ;D

Hmmm, just watching it again tonight, and I must say I liked the second part very much.  Overall, the two hours was Farscape at its best.

We lost D'Argo, and we lost Harvey.  I'm actually going to miss the Harvey dream sequences, especially the way he always put a cigarrette in John's mouth.  That got a smile from me every single time. 

John's love of the number 'three' was strong, with the third attempt at the wedding being the successful one...and the birth of their son was just PERFECT.  Aeryn turning to John and asking him if they could get them out of there was wonderful, as was their rush out of the place.  Probably my favorite moment of their escape from the planet was Aeryn telling the Scaran bitch "It's a boy, in case you were wondering." right after Aeryn had shot her in the head.  (especially since the Scaran had told Aeryn she'd never be reunited with ther baby in the first part.)

Oh, and her "now you cry?" when the baby cried AFTER the shooting was over and just after John left...warm fuzzy feelings all over.  Okay, if there was ever a woman who could possibly hold my attention...it would have to be Aeryn Sun (not the actress, the character she plays). 

The Wormhole Weapon...well, the only concern I have is that if they think Crichton still has the knowledge...both sides might want to kill him so it could never be used again...meanwhile both sides would likely go to war again if they find out he cannot repeat the weapon.  Either way, John's still going to be a hunted man.

D'Argo's death...it'd be one that I would choose as well.  I just hope it is one that sticks.  Oh, and his death scene..."John, there's just one thing I want...Chiana"  John:  "I understand.  I'll take care of her..." D'Argo:  "John, GO AWAY.  I want to talk to Chiana."

Had me laughing while wanting to cry over D'Argo leaving us. 

D'Argo Jr. now has some very big shoes to fill.

Oh, and lest I forget...Rigel's protectiveness of the baby was hilarious if you know his character...
