Anybody remember Farscape?

I discovered it on Prime, and it turns out I never finished the 4th (and final) season, so I've been binging it. It's strange to think that it was on 16 years ago. It doesn't feel like that long. What's really strange is finding out the guy who played Scorpius was at the time 7 years younger than I am now. -- Drew

The wrap-up was the miniseries titled "The Peacekeeper Wars" and Prime has that as the final 2 episodes of season 4. [Edit] Just watched the original season 4 finale. Did they know when they tagged it "To be continued" that they'd been cancelled? And yeah, I'd have been pissed if that was the last episode and then they cancelled it. It's been 16 years since I would have watched it, but I'm pretty sure I remember that scene. There have been moments in this season where I knew what was coming, but there was only one moment in episode 3 that felt familiar until that last scene. -- Drew Edited by drook Dec. 13, 2020, 10:47:19 AM EST Edited by drook Dec. 13, 2020, 03:54:02 PM EST Expand All History

It was the early days of the public internet and that was one of the first things setting it alight. I don't remember the SciFi original ending in "to be continued". That may have been a retroactive addition, after the decision to make The Peacekeeper Wars had been made. (But then again, it was indeedd 16 year ago...)

As for the ending, their Deus ex Machina was showing. [spoilers ahead ... do we still need to say that 16 years on?] If neither side really wanted to stop fighting, and the only thing stopping them for now was the immediate thread of the wormhole, then what's to keep them from just killing Chriton and getting back to their war? -- Drew
