Farscape

[caddyman]

Having just watched Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars on Channel 5, I have to say that I am really none the wiser as to why the programme was considered so favourably by so many.

It was passable escapist Sci-Fi entertainment, but no better than most and not as good as some. Admittedly I didn't invest five years of my life tracking the progress of the muppet crew, so some of the nuances might have been lost on me.

Still, it's watched now and the names of the characters are already fading from memory.

Where was the odd bald blue woman? We had the monochrome Toyah, but not baldy blue.

Watching Peacekeeper Wars without having watched the preceeding 4 series is a bad idea. As has been mentioned, it's a full series-worth of plot shoehorned into a mini-series. The makers don't bother with any catch-up plot at all, if you're not up to speed you'll get lost.

Oh, am I four series behind? The last episode I watched was where they defeated the people on that big battle cruiser with that guy who had been in Crichton's head. I didn't realise they had made four series after that one.
