I thought that the Grand Chancellor was kind of a wimp.  I was expecting the grand peace keeper to be more like Durka to achieve that position.  It was kind of cool though that he was he also played the lead Zenetan Pirate.

I love how it was so subtly revealed in just a few sentences why Sebaceans resembled humans so closely.

Well, I got to see the miniseries this weekend, courtesy of a friend who 'acquired' it and put it on tape for me (unfortunately, there is still no word as to when it will be shown on British TV). All I can say is, I am happy with it. There were some truly awesome bits in it (that opening battle sequence was enough to make me cream my pants!), some very touching bits (Dargo) and some rather silly bits that annoyed me at times (the baby mostly). But it tied up all the threads left hanging in the series, and it's finished off the series nicely.

Personally, I don't think Dargo or Jool will stay dead long, nor will Sikozu. If there is a Farscape movie, they will be back somehow as no-one stays dead in Farscape for long. I'm not sure if I'm in support of a Farscape movie, the miniseries was a good conclusion to everything, although there are still a few mysteries left.

Was it just me, or did it seem like Chiana's role was even more pointless than Jool's?

That pretty much was the Farscape "movie." they just didn't release it in the theaters.

False! The Farscape movie would be different. Brian Henson always mentions in interviews that the miniseries was the conclusion to the show, but he still had movies or spin-offs in mind.

I'd love to see a movie, but what else can they do? All the major plotlines have been finished off. They could do some Nebari stuff, but that just doesn't seem epic enough for a Farscape movie.

well what would happen if john's son had the wormhole knowlege for the film so they cthey could make it about "little D"  or something like that!!!

ps to add on to what RavenStar
 said  BBC has decided not to buy the Farscape miniseries. but Instead, the four hour miniseries has been bought in a joint bid from Sky and a terrestrial broadcaster.
so it might coe out soon

It would be good to see more Farscape in a movie.  Maybe a decient spin-off could come from it.

So it looks like they're rereleasing Farscape on DVD, under the "Starburst Edition" label.

...this is good, because 1.) it seems to be getting wider distribution(because I saw the first edition at Walmart, and I've never seen Farscape at Walmart before), 2.) it has more features, yet is slightly cheaper than before(less than 20 bucks for seven episodes, instead of 25-30 bucks for four or five episodes), and 3.) it makes a great christmas present for Jeff.

...it could be cheaper, though. Why oh why can't they just release a whole season for 40-50 bucks? I'd take it in a hearbeat. 90-100 dollars is too much for any tv show, I'm sorry.

I've been picking up the region 2 complete seasons, but I usually wait a few months for them to come down in price. RRP is about £100 but Amazon usually sell them for £40 in the Christmas sales. They have extra commentaries too.

I've started watching the show. I just got up to the start of Season 3, and it's become a new obsession for me.

This show is way better than stargate. The characters are awesome, and despite the presence of muppets, it's really dark and gritty at times. I'm loving it.

[Reply #172 on:]

I completely agree coldangel_1.  Somehow I've managed to stay away from the stargate serieses...

But Farscape.  Farscape was just awesome.  Possibly one of the best scifi space exploration shows of its kind.

Also, Claudia Black kicks arse.
