really bad joke I made a few months ago >< Chianna had the strange walking and mannerisms thing. I always thought she had cerebral P. Bad Joke I know

I fucking loved that about Chianna. That ties into my love for how they never went with easy Trek-esque aliens. Oh, look, a human with a bump on her nose. A human with a thing on his forehead. A human with another thing on his forehead...

...no, Farscape gave up crazy puppets and people with horse-shaped heads and shit. Okay, Chianna is one of the aliens that is notsomuch removed from humans, but who says she has to carry herself the exact same way? You go, Chianna, be all nimbly-bimbly and shit.

IIRC I think Gigi Edgely had some kind of acrobatics background, too.

Probably the single most impressive bit of acting, though, was when Claudia Black played Chianna in the bizarro universe.

Unrealized Reality, the episode where we meet Einstein, is some seriously crazy shit. That's one of my favorite all-time scifi episodes of anything, ever.
 
Finally finished the series, it was awesome, one of the best shows on TV... very sad that it ended so soon, but glad that it ended well, they finished the story very well. The peacekeeper wars was a life saver. Basically a 4 episode season 5 if you will, to wrap up the show, without it the show would have ended in a disaster

Come on, the end of season 4 is the perfect definition of a gut wrenching cliffhanger.

Not to end a series, no its isn't, it would be a scar on my brain for the rest of our life 😡

I don't understand how stupid shows like Dr.Who can go on for eternity and shows like farscape end so soon. Maybe because in the world of govt controlled media you are forced to whatever their highnesses choose?

The best part is how they knew they were cancelled during the filming of the final arc of episodes, yet still did that.

Probably because they had already decided to milk the miniseries out of it by then. I was surprised how the first 4 seasons were available everywhere buy I could not find the Peacekeeper wars anywhere, I was ready to shell out $$ for online streaming but it was just not available anywhere

The mini-series is weird. It's partially owned by Hallmark or some such nonsense. Which means it has to be licensed separately.
 
Peacekeeper Wars almost didn't happen at all. Season 4 ended the way it did because the cancellation didn't come until the last episode had already been filmed and they only had one or two episodes left to film. There was a big fan push to save the sets for a miniseries or something, but I think in the end it all got torn down. In any case, production on PW began a little over a year after the cancellation.

Wish we could get a "peacekeeper war" finisher arc for SatAM sonic. :'( And new Thundercats. And a lot of shows actually. Getting real tired of shows getting canceled on a cliffhanger that is that.

I agree, good shows should get some notice so that they can end the story appropriately. I remember Enterprise getting enough time to finish properly... It would have been really sad to see a Star Trek end in a cliff hanger...

I still wish they did a Stargate Atlantis movie 🙁

The last episode didn't really end anything. All they did was defeat one ship.

As for Farscape, The Peacekeeper Wars was pretty good, but they could easily make more.

Did you watch the same Enterprise that I did? The finale was the single worst episode of the entire series...

That doesn't count, that was just the series creators having a big fap. The real finale was the episode before that, and was generally received well.

I am not talking about the finale in particular but the end of the show in general. Its been a while but iirc the Xindi weapon was destroyed, the blue skin saved the captain and so on... they finished the story.
 
Enterprise didn't really get to finish though. The Earth/Romulan War that was planned for the remainder seasons were scrapped. The shadowy figure was going to be revealed to be Archer from the future, there was an refitted variant of the NX class in the concept art stage for seasons 5-7. There was a LOT of content scrapped that they had to hastily put a cap on.

I think it did end. Earth humans shouldn't be in that part of space, so we stole their best weapon for ourselves and left them to die on the overpopulation of vampires we triggered.

The end.

Well atleast the Xindi story finished, point is, they had enough notice to be able to wrap it up somehow
