Crikey, haven't I gone on a bit, so I'll round up here for you. It's a must for die hard Farscape fans, I'd really suggest newbies to watch the previous series first as alot of the plot needs some previous knowledge to fully appreciate. Well worth the wait for the concluding part of a great series (maybe a certain Mr. Lucas should take notes on how not to disappoint sci-fi lovers). more
Firstly, What is Farscape??
It was/is a brillaint piece of sci-fi televisual viewing with great characters, superbly evil adversaries, super sexy heroes and heroines, some brilliant special effects and make-up (puppets courtesy of Jim Henson), an extremely involved and complex plot (infact sometimes so complex if you missed an episode you could be totally lost), but this isn't to it's downfall, infact it's a plus as it gets you really hooked and wanting for more.
To try and quickly sum up the plot previous to this box set. Here goes (I'll try not to bore you or spoil anything). A Human Astronaut (John Critchton - eye candy for the ladies or gents) comes a cropper and is shot through a wormhole to 23, god-knows-where-in-space Avenue. Gets picked by a living spaceship (Moya) and it's crew of 'running from the law' aliens and thus becomes involved in a galactic war of basically baddies vs extreme baddies basically, whilst trying to discover his way back to Earth etc.....oh and he still finds time to fall in love with the very sexy Aeryn and flirt outrageoously with other alien lifeforms. Still with me? Good. Don't shoot me if I have omitted anything or made any mistakes but this is supposed to be a review not a rewrite.
Anyway, this boxset sets off from the very disappointing end of Season 4, where he and his beloved are killed in the very last episode (very much a OMG moment it cant end like that). This was to be the last episode ever as the plug was pulled on production (all explained in the extra bits on the dvd). But thank goodness they regrouped and made this "The Peacekeeper Wars" as it ties up the series in a more fitting and fulfilling way.
So if you enjoyed the original Farscape series and were thoroughly vexed and frustrated by the abrupt ending this is most definetely for you! Buy it, borrow it get your hands on a copy anyhow and your worries will be resolved.
I don't usually browse the 'Extra Features' on dvd's, but here is the exception. Interviews with the cast and production teams explain their frustration as the show was pulled and hence why they just had to come back and make this mini-series to conclude properly. There's the now obligatory 'deleted scenes', 'gallery', 'trailer material' etc..., but some also very nice wallpapers for your pc and character rundown section to brush up on their backgrounds for any Farscape virgins.
Crikey, haven't I gone on a bit, so I'll round up here for you. It's a must for die hard Farscape fans, I'd really suggest newbies to watch the previous series first as alot of the plot needs some previous knowledge to fully appreciate. Well worth the wait for the concluding part of a great series (maybe a certain Mr. Lucas should take notes on how not to disappoint sci-fi lovers).
The continuation and conclusion of the popular FARSCAPE series, broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel from 1999 to 2004, THE PEACEKEEPER WARS picks up where the series left off. John Crighton and Aeryn Sun have decided to marry, but are immediately blown to pieces by an alien ship at the close of the ceremony. Luckily, Rygel picks up the pieces and reassembles the couple; but now Rygel is the one carrying their child. Elsewhere, all-out war is declared between the Peacekeepers and the Scarrans, and although Crighton and Aeryn just want to get married and live happily ever after, half-breed Peacekeeper Scorpius and Scarran Emperor Staleek are still covetous of Crighton's wormhole knowledge. They hope to use it as a weapon, and as the battles rage on, Crighton becomes the determining factor of the war's outcome. Tying up all the loose ends of the series, this feature provides a satisfactory conclusion for even the most ardent fan, with all of the original cast present, and a recreation of the look and feel of the show.
