"You, are ruining my wedding."

"Honey, you're pointing a gun at the baby."

God I loved this series. And I'm so happy to see this mini-series.

Amen to that. Crichton has the most amazing moments... and I love the little references he throws in... I believe at one point (during the series at least, if not in the mini-- i may be mixing them up) he refers to Scorpius or Harvey as "lord vader"... that was sweet. And the bit with Scorpius' armor-- "Does that come in blue?" :lol:
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

I forgot, have they ever really explained why there are the long-neck Scarrens and the more human-looking ones?
'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'

He also mentioned the "lions tigers and bears" in the series. A Hyperion reference?

Have a very nice day.

More likely a Wizard of Oz referance.

Not in some states :D
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Made the one that the Talyn-John used on the Scarren dreadnaught look like a frelling cap-gun.

Well, that seems to leave just one last untied thread that I can think of, the Nebari.

Unless something happened that I missed, they are still hatching a plot to take things over with that little virus thing of theirs.

*bawling*

Goddamn... that was... awesome. Just all of it... damn! I know it's the ending... but still... so... moving. And the name they chose for the kid? Perfect.

Overall? On a scale of 1 to 10... scores a 2-goddamn-freakin'-Jesus-Christ-on-a-pogo-stick-frellin'-awesome-0!!!

I agree. ANd as for Dargo, well a wormhole can lead to places. He is hopefully somewhere to be recovered.

A wormhole, maybe. But given that he was probably dead from his blood going toxic before getting sucked into a blackhole.

I don't think he is coming back. And given how good a death scene he got, thats a good thing in my book.[/b]

That was an amazing ending. I wish that they hadn't cancelled. But a good way to end it was.

So, were the scarens MORE powerful than the peacekeepers? If it was the job of the peacekeepers to keep peace, how could they reasonably do so w/out being more powerful than the other factions? Maybe I missed that.

My guess is that in the period between the formation of the Peacekeepers and now that the Scarrens grew in power faster.
