Farscape Appreciation Thread

[the fifth man]

I ended season 4 today, and now I'm waiting for the PKW to come in the mail (hopefully tomorrow).

The ending of season 4 seen through my eyes:

Spoiler:

TO BE FRELLIN' CONTINUED

What the frell?

Imagine if PKW had never been made...

Trust me, that's how most of us who loved Farscape thought

Spoiler:

at the end of Season 4. That ending was like a slap in the face. All I can say is, thank God for The Peacekeeper Wars.

[angelfire east]

You guys said there still storylines open for another movie. What do you guys want to see?

Spoiler:

Personally I can't image the show without 'Argo. Though watching everyone run around after a baby would be inetersting, speacilly if Chiana babysat lol

Review for Fractures

Spoiler:

Another great episode. Again the emotions where just prefect.

Poor John so excited to see Aeryn again. Asking D'Argo which shirt to wear was so heart breaking becuase you know in a few mintues Aeryn is going to arrive and it's going to kill him. All the D'Argo/Crichton where very touching, I love their friendship.

Poor Aeryn, how much must seeing Moya!Crichton being screwing with her emotions. I felt so bad for her when made refence to the Budong, then relized he wasn't her John. That must have hurt so much, for a few second she forgot he was ther other Crichton, that hers was gone. It must have been unbearble when she relized her mistake. I loved that she was the first to stand beside John when he told the others of his plan.

I'm loving Crais more and more with each episode. The way he was with John was lovely and working with Jool was so fun. It's a shame he's going to die (soon?). I think he makes a good pair with Jool. I couldn't stop laughing as their sceams when part of the alien landed on them. That wasn't very PK captain of him I wanted to hug him when he stood beside John and Aeryn to join the fight. I strongly believe he didn't do it just to look good in Aeryn's eyes (still can't deside if he's in love with her, or as close as he can get to love). I believe hes doing it becuase he is trying to do the right thing and be a good person. John's death effacted him greatly, as well as the feelings of shame over his past deeds (which Aeryn made light of in the Choice). SO I could be wrong but I feel that finally he's ont he side of the good and true. I don't know if he'll go through with it but I believe at the time (and in this episode) he meant it when he said he'd give up being captain. (thigns could change be I thinkhe meant it) then again I really want to see the good in him. I love Lani Tupu!

I felt really bad for Rygel even if he's a bit of a jerk LOL. His little arc in this episode was very funny.

I think Chiana would have been really happy if Naj stayed on Moya. I think they could have been really good friends. On a superfishal note I think Naj Gil was gorgeous; I really love the white/grey/black look. It's just so beautiful, plus the short hair was lovely.

Was it just me or was D'Argo becoming friends with the Scarran? Okay I'm a bad Aeryn fan, I thought at one point she could set the message tot he PKs. I should have more faith in my girl but she just so all over the place with her emotions.

Okay I think that's it for my review, I might add more later if I think of it.

Oh yeah ... About Fractures

Spoiler:

I totally agree with the hearbreaking part of Moya John about to see Aeryn again. He was so cute asking D'Argo about the shirt and running around the ship and then the reaction ... Man talk about a blow to the gut!

Great episode though!

So I finally saw A Perfect Murder. It was a good episode. Kind of trippy at the beginning, I was slightly confused. But after actually getting into the episode I started to get it. There were some great shots in this as well that really added to the kind of trippy feel of the show. It really did feel kind of off balance right from the start just because of the angles and shots.

Spoiler:

The end with Aeryn and Crichton holding the guns on each other! Wow, talk about tense. I thought Claudia delivered the line "Now. I'm not sure… I have the strength to miss next time" extremely well. The moment at the end between them was breathtaking as well. Played expertly, IMO.
I love Aeryn "speaking English." Makes for some good comedic lines. And development of the realtionship between Aeryn and Crichton.
I'm also really interested in what's going on with Chiana. The visions and blindness are rather interesting.

Also saw Coup By Clam ... Interesting episode. Not sure what to say about it. Some interesting humour. It kind of actually makes me wish I was still in school taking my Transgression and Desire course. This episode would definitely provide for some interesting commentary from that class.

One of the first mental images I got of a post-PKW story is that of a toddler crawling all over Pilot's console.

[Thunderstorm]

As for Aeryn...I don't even know where to start. She's in such

Spoiler:

an emotional downward spiral that she can't see any option but out.

It's something I'd never expect in a "sci fi" show, and is yet exactly the reason why this show appealed to me.

I always thought this show was more drama than scifi. Yeah it's set in another galaxy and has all sorts of different races, etc, but the heart of the show is the character drama which is what makes it my favorite. I like a show slightly off center but most about the characters.

I loved D'argo's comments, so matter of fact and not at all what you might expect from a big warrior like him.

And I agree - John does look better in the black!!!

Hey, Pilot's got many arms and he's good at multitasking - he's could keep him/her entertained easily.

I'm getting season 2 soon! person infront of me finally picked up the discs and they are due back on the 16th to the library.... I'm sure I can wrap presents and watch at the same time. Do some craft painting. some scrapbooking (gotta get my sister's wedding album done). Going move my craft room to the living room!

I agree. I'm not really one for lots of science--I'd rather watch, say "Grey's Anatomy" than "Star Trek" so I definitely prefer the more character driven/emotional storylines, vs the "science" and how this gizmo works with that gadget, etc.

The heart of the show is definitely the drama, and the acting is what makes it work. I think the humor works very well too, even in those episodes that are pretty heavy duty serious (The Choice, for example) you get some comedic moments.

Future Farscape? Hopefully

Spoiler:

not too much baby. I think the Scarren/PK thing is short lived and I think the Nebari should show up. I mean, early on, Chiana makes an allusion to some sort of planet wiping out weapon ("Through the Looking Glass")

Oh, angelfire, regarding Aeryn and "Fractures", I thought the same thing too. They certainly set it up to look that way and

Spoiler:

, given her emotional state, I really couldn't put anything past her. But the look in her eyes, the way she does NOT look at John when she goes to stand by his side, the way she pretty much avoids looking at him at all, is just painful, both for her and for him.

Excellent stuff by both Ben and Claudia. Claudia, in particular,

Spoiler:

plays Aeryn's heartache so well at the end of season 3. the next episode is equally heartbreaking, although Ben's puppy-dog eagerness at Aeryn's return is just so sad!

Claudia said in an interview that the most difficult words she ever had to utter on Farscape were

Spoiler:

"Hello, John" when Aeryn steps off the transport pod and looks like right past him, knowing that he's so eager to see her and how hurt he's going to be. She said even beyond John dying, that was the hardest part.

Wish I could remember where I saw that interview; it might be in the season 3 companion.

LOL ... I can see the Farscape spin off now "What Not To Wear: Luxan Edition" ... Although, I don't know I'm kinda partial to the green, myself. You're very right, though. Those lines from D'Argo were hysterically funny. Anthony pulled them off very well.

that was a great scene and so matter of fact.

I agree--John looked pretty damned good in the green as well, and I thought it perfectly suited the shape of his body!

LOL ... that it did. Although I'm not sure there is much that wouldn't work ok on his body. LOL ... even in Coup By Clam

Spoiler:

the dress he had on wasn't that bad. Although I much prefer the green shirt!

That was an awesome scene. I don't think I ever give enough time to talking about Anthony, Gigi, Wayne and the rest of the cast because I get so caught up in the drama between Aeryn and John that I tend focus on Ben and Claudia. But, that's not entirely fair because they're all such wonderful actors. The show wouldn't be the same at all if one of them was someone else, IMO, anyway.

Yay, the PKW arrived in the mail today!! 3 extra hours of Farscape to enjoy!! (if only I didn't have to go to class this evening )

No extra's though. Is there a DVD-edition of PKW with extra's?

My copy is a two-disc bonus features include:

"The Making of Peacekeeper Wars" 30 minute documentary
Interactive Conceptual Art Gallery
Authentic Production Storyboards
Spacecraft Gallery
and much more! (no idea what the much more is)

"Much more" is deceptive. The only thing left that isn't mentioned in that list is a prop gallery with photos of the props used throughout the series stowed away in/with their boxes
