Very much so.

Oh, and at the ending I was going "I swear to God if you don't name that child D'Argo I'm going to kill every last one of you... slowly."

He called him "Little D." That was great!

Oh man, this was a beautiful capstone to one of the most fantastic space adventures ever!

Anyone else sad to see harvey go?

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2004-10-19 01:17am

Now that was a ending.

Especially with that little bit of that all powerful uber weapon...

Sad to see the series go, but honestly it had a good ending regardless of Sci-Fi ineptitude of what happened before.

Great ending. The thing is though, that with such a great end, though there are places to go, whether it should go there.

Dargo's gone. Chiana is going to leave. Rygel is going to leave. Stark is going to leave. Really, the only people left on Moya is John, Aeryn, and little D. So what's next for them? Try to open a wormhole back to Earth? Now with peace, there really isn't a reason not to go back.

And for some reason, when I saw Scorpious' coniving look during the ceremony, I wondered if his whole plan was to create a master race of Sebacean/Scarren hybrids like himself. And that the peace treaty would be a good start for that.

And Stark saying the wrong words and then getting slapped, twice. Hilarious.

Fantastic ending, I was actually tearing up once I realized that D'Argo was really going to buy it this time....... that balanced the hilarity of the under fire baby transference sequence......"You may feel a little pressure........"

Terminator · Post by **Terminator** » 2004-10-19 03:29am

i was disapointed in harvey going, he was my favorite part of the show, gave criton a super power/curse that was just swell

d'argo is definitly gone, it looked to me like if they continue the series ever they'll replace him with his kid, if they do bring the series back then harvey best have been lieing about his death

wormhole knowledge is supposed to be gone but does that mean john couldn't navigate one anyhow? He did it the first time by sheer accident or piloting skill

Arrow · Post by **Arrow** » 2004-10-19 06:20am

Even several hours later I'm still stunned. This is definitly the best ending to any TV series, scifi or not.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2004-10-19 08:11am

The long-necked scarans are the grunts, the humanoid ones are the ruling-caste. IIRC the long necked ones can be promoted and end up with the short neck, either by metamorphasis or (more likely IMO) surgery.

As I understand it, the Scarrans also come from across the Uncharted territories. The Peacekeepers weren't as powerful as them because they had never contacted them before, and when they did, the Scarrans had a severe numerical advantage, despite being technologically inferior. (A scarran dreadnought that's twice the length of a command carrier can be destroyed by two Command Carriers, meaning that a dreadnought has only 1/4 the volume/lethality ratio.

Dare I ask... wormhole weapon?

Did anybody notice that the Scarran soldiers, with their helmets on, looked mighty like Predators with the dreadlocks and all? In fact, when the Luxan commandos broke into the ship, when one went flying in the explosion, I thought, "WTF?! Was that a Predator I just saw?"

Just a random observation... to be sure, when you see them up close, most of the resemblance is gone, but they definitely have similarly domed helmets-- that, combined with the dreadlocks and their build....

If you really, really want to know:

Yes. It was freaking beautiful. And even Scorpy agreed it was insane.

Aren't those guys some sort of slave race and not true Scarrans?

Those guys are charrids (sp?), and they're a different race all together. They entered an alliance with the scarrans around the time Talyn-John used the first wormhole weapon.

Really puts it into perspective with that scene doesn't it?

Yeah they are enemys of the Hynerians..and They hate Sikosa's people

It was a very good show, ....well not.. just... good... How dare I use such a puny word! I guess there really is no word to describe how great it was. I am sad to see it go, hopefully someday they will decide to make more to it... who knows maybe they want us to think it is the end of them ever making more?

I don't know about that. Jothee seems to be an officer in the Luxan military. He's the Cleaver. I don't think he can just up and leave. Of course they could just have the entire squad be assigned to John since he's the only guy with wormhole knowledge or at least they probably still think he does. And the galaxy would be in trouble if he ever got into the wrong hands.

wormhole knowledge is supposed to be gone but does that mean john couldn't navigate one anyhow? He did it the first time by sheer accident or piloting skill

I thought they just took out the weapon knowledge.

Frank Hipper · Post by **Frank Hipper** » 2004-10-19 01:34pm

It was fucking awesome.

Aeryn fighting a battle while in labor? Jesus, that was too cool for school.

Harvey's demise scene was comedic genius!

D'Argo's death choked me up a tad.

Moya, the most destructive ship in sci-fi evar? A galaxy destroying weapon? Aaaaawesome!!!!

It so was! I don't think they could really get rid of Harvey though... it's Harvey after all. Would be sad if he is really gone... the horror!

Damn. I started to watch the show when it first came out but then stoped around the 2nd sesson. Now I wish I had kept up. I came in around the part with the people who could inspire peace and watched an hour or so. That was VERY cool from what I saw. I like when John wrote on the chalk board and you could very well tell what it said. Plus the allusion to Oz. Glad to see that he's still a funny guy. "Does it come in blue?" Funny stuff.

How long do you guys think it'll be until they re-air it or put it on DVD?

What was Stark's face thing, anyway? I forget if there was an episode where it was explained.

Hopefully they'll bring D'Argo back. Farscape has a history of that, you know.

The planet got eaten by the wormhole weapon. I don't think he's coming back from that one.

I liked Chianna's comment when Critchton told her to help turn the baby around.

"Last time I took out three tiers!"
