In 2002 Farscape fin­ished it’s fourth sea­son, and was can­celed by the SciFi chan­nel because the series has became very expen­sive. But, the series sup­posed to have five sea­sons, so the story was not yet com­pleted. And a year later due to efforts of Brian Hen­son, SciFi agreed to finance the minis­eries or TV movie to com­plete the sto­ry­line. In 2004 con­clu­sion for the Farscape sage is made and called The Peace­keeper Wars.

Story

Peace­keeper Wars story is in essence con­densed full 22 episodes sea­son in about total of 4 episodes. So, many things had to be cut out, and the movie has very fast pace with lit­tle regard to pas­sage of time as the pre­vi­ous sea­sons had. Over­all story is very good and we finally get to see full scale war between Peace­keep­ers and Scarans. While John and Ayren are still in pieces on the water planet, the war has esca­lated, and we see Scor­pius lead­ing the Peace­keeper armada.

Stark, D’Argo & Chianna

But once the John is reassem­bled again, things started to change. I am not going to go into details of the story, you need to watch it your­self, but we are finally going to see the full worm­hole weapon and you can expect a really wild ride of non stop action, and amaz­ing finale.

Cast and characters

Beside the cast reg­u­lars from the pre­vi­ous sea­son, many of the guest stars will return for the series finale, and some of them got a very decent screen time. And, as it goes, some of them will die.

Pro­duc­tion

PK Wars is a movie, not a TV series, and that’s why it looks much dif­fer­ent then the pre­vi­ous sea­sons. Spe­cial effects are excel­lent, and the same goes for the pros­thet­ics, so D’Argo now looks much more real.

Con­clu­sion

And, this is it, the last review of the Farscape series, ended with this excel­lent movie. And while we wait to hear more on the poten­tial new Farscape series, you can get the box set of the entire series and start watch­ing. Farscape is not to be missed.
