Farscape, The End
After watching all four seasons of Farscape and The Peacekeeper Wars, it’s over. Now, not surprisingly, I feel a little hollow inside. It would seem that it was only Season 3 that I hated so much. Once Season 4 revved up, I started to like it a little more again. I think I’m going to record my thoughts by character, rather than by season or episode.
John Crichton- enjoyable enough as a character; always had watery eyes, which was a bit distracting; played well with Harvey; nice behind; became hugely annoying with the constant “Wormhole!” stuff
Aeryn Sun- much more pleasant to watch than I had anticipated; really pretty make-up in Season 4
Pa’u Zotoh Zhaan- my favorite; just a lovely, lovely, soothing presence; didn’t realize she was really gone until it was too late to grieve; didn’t like the lack of gorgeous make-up in return eps.
Ka D’Argo- grew on me fast; underused from Season 2 on; hilarious when driving the police car, “Prepare for engagement!”; one of my favorites; understandable, but I HATE his ending
Rygel XVI, Dominar- love, just love him; even though I love Zhaan, when he called her a blue-ass bitch I laughed until I had tears; always had me wondering if he’d really sell them out; actually felt sorry for him when Orhn betrayed him
Captain Bialar Crais- another favorite; I ship Crais/Aeryn; looking back, he had more character development than almost anyone; love that Talyn chose him; cried hard when he and Talyn sacrificed themselves in such a moment of resolute heroism
Pilot and Moya- who knew Pilot had so much emotional pain? I really appreciated his brief, but moving, backstory; easy to see why everyone wanted to save Moya- she served them well; easily two of my favorite characters
Stark- um, Zhaan liked him, so that’s good enough for me; didn’t care for his ending
Moonface Droopy Boob PK- oh, alright, Commandant Mele-On Grayza- yeah, no love
Chiana- the only character hated more than MFDB PK; least favorite character EVER; annoying and poorly acted; great hair in Season 4
Jool- see above, but exclude the hair part; just an unattractive annoying louse
Sikozu- it figures that my favorite new person turns out that way; still love her; always kept me guessing
Scorpius- *squeed* when he finally showed up; always felt sympathetic to his plight; as Harvey and Scorpius, the best actor on the show; hit every note just perfectly; love, just love
I’m will probably return to this post to add thoughts as time goes on, but overall, this was a enjoyable series and I would like to thank
Farscape Pt. 1
I’m up to Season 4 Episode 2 and OMG, this show gets exponentially worse with every.single.episode. I’m going to finish the series because, hey, I’ve come this far, but seriously, how did people get so into it?!?
I’ll be adding specific points in a later entry. *sigh*

Overall
Edge: SG-1
SGA seems to be showcasing explosions an inordinately huge amount of time. I’m hoping we can get back to the stories and away from BOOM!action. SG-1 seems to be moving back to the “Camelot” storyline and I really want to see it fleshed out. Both premieres were satisfying, but I’m expecting a lot more as the season progresses.
