"Hi honey. Guess what I did at work today?
I wore a bomb. A nuclear bomb in a field of flowers.
I could get lucky. Tomorrow I could get a bigger bomb.
I could kill more people. Innocent people. Children, maybe."
I loved Gauntlet guys final line in season 2.
"So long my friends, thank for you teaching me to kill again" He just sounded so nonchalant and happy.
Plus the Tavleks and their gauntlet weapons are awesome.
I have the entire series including The Peacekeeper Wars, I'll have to watch it all through eventually. That wait for The Peacekeeper Wars was bullshit the first time around. You people just now discover this wonderful show have no idea how lucky you are.
Also, even though the show is pretty much the best ever, I will forever hate Taking The Stone. Feel free to skip that one anyone.
That definitely wasn't my favorite episode. That reminds me of another thing I liked about the show. Even if an episode was a filler, it often had character revelations or growth that carried through the entire season and show. That's why I never skip any episodes when I watch Farscape. Well, I make an exception for the second episode of season one. But that's the only one!
EDIT: Sadly, the second episode of Season 1 is brought up later in the series when they go looking for hidden peacekeeper tech on Moya.
If I remember correctly, it was a deal for one season of webisodes. However, the deal was reached right around the time of the writer's strike and it seemingly fell apart at that point. I haven't heard anything about a season 5 since, so I still hold out hope but it doesn't seem likely.

1. You can tell that some of the actors had been out of character a little too long (particularly Chiana)
2. With the end of season four, it really felt like they were going to stretch things out and take their time, particularly with
3. Some of the Peacekeeper Wars felt a little lacking (but not much) in emotional content and character development.
Other than that, it was nice to have as a way to wrap up the series, but (obviously) Season 5 would have been better.
I don't know why anyone would burn you for that. I know I feel the same way.
Sure it was nice to see them end the story, but every time I watch it I'm reminded how awesome a full fifth season could have been.
It probably felt rushed because it was the entire fifth season condensed into a short mini-series. They actually had the fifth season all planned out right before it got canceled. Chiana was suppose to have a small arc dealing with her eyes, for instance, but that was dealt with in the mini-series with a few lines of exposition.
Oh man I'm watching this episode right now. It is AMAZING!
I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that this episode made me fall out of my chair.
He's talking about before it was canceled.
Flash back to 2002, I think, and Farscape is doing well as one of Scifi's best original TV shows and is well into the third season. Rather than renewing it for another season, Scifi renews it for TWO. Naturally, the creators go "Fuck yeah" and plan on two whole seasons of arcs.
Then Farscapes ratings slip, like they do EVERY Season for the early episodes, and because they had the cash cow that is Stargate at that point, Scifi cancels Season 5 literally at the zero hour, leaving an entire Seaason of planned out stories unmade.
Sadly, the makeup the actress had to wear was hell on her skin.
Is that really why Zhaan died? Real life reasons for why things happen in shows is always strange to me.
Pretty much. She was having very real health issues because of the makeup.
Yeah, I suppose it's fair to say that bleeding kidneys could be considered a decline in health.
:shock:
Sweet fuck. Now I'm at a loss for how she kept going for so many years.
IIRC, it was a continued exposure kind of thing. It didn't really start affecting her badly until some point in Season 2, at which point they decided to plan Zhaan's death. She stuck in there long enough to finish out her characters arc in Season 3.
Well, with any kind of body paint (I think), you absorb some of it into your body through the skin, at which point your body goes "WTF is this" and your kidney's filter it out. Virginia Hey had a LOT of makeup on her body for a LONG time, so her kidneys were probably working overtime for too long.
I think. I mean, Chiana was on the show for even longer than Zhaan by the end.
protip: do not google 'who gets naked more often; chiana or zhaan"
... I really hate fanfics.
'course they used Body Doubles more often than not for those scenes. (Like whenever Zhaan is naked in Season 1).
Am I in for a pretty good ride? Or is there a slow season or two that I should be willing to gloss over?

Taking The Stone is horrid as an example of a stinker. But most everything else is fine to great.
