The Peacekeeper Wars

Two years, one month and eleven days.

Farscape finally returns to the air and it doesn’t disappoint. Even though we only get 4 more hours I feel like we are getting all the important information unlike when Babylon 5 had to wrap the main Shadow war storyline at the end of Season 4 because there was a chance that it was not coming back for a fifth season.

I can’t believe how much I missed this show. I think this statement from AintItCool kind of says it all:

… isn’t quite as rewarding as, say, a 22-episode fifth season, it’s still pretty damn cool. … Will die-hard fans be satisfied by the end? Absolutely. Can first-time viewers tune in and pick things up as it goes along? Not a chance. The Peacekeeper Wars is an unabashed love letter from the producers to their loyal viewers, and don’t let anybody tell you differently.

  1. I never had much luck with Farscape. When I first checked it out – I think during it’s second season – the 2 or 3 episodes I watched weren’t very good. They had an A-plot but no B-plot, and they took twice as long to tell the story as necessary.

    Then I gave it another chance a year or so later, and the writing was a lot tighter, but I didn’t have a clue what was going on. I wasn’t quite intrigued enough to stick with it. Maybe I just had some bad luck and didn’t catch any ‘wham-o’ episodes.

    Anyway, the new site looks sharp!
