Well, we've put it off as long as we could. Our recap and review of the end of televised Farscape begins with the first part of the two part Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars miniseries. For those of us watching when it originally premiered, this was 18 months after the cancellation of the series. We were eager to see the resolution to the cliffhanger ending of the series and how they would wrap up all the dangling plot threads and give our characters the send off they deserved.
Part 1 is a 90 minute firehose of all that. They jammed as much plot and character moments as they could into it, and even find time to answer some of the questions from the main series. And then, of course as it's a 2 part miniseries, leave us on a cliffhanger for the exciting conclusion next time.
Buckle up!

To quote another famous science fiction ending - "This is the end, but the moment has been prepared for."
Eric and Jason discuss the series finale of Farscape - Season 4: Bad Timing. Having seen this when it originally aired, Eric has been waiting five years - since the start of this podcast - to see how Jason would react to that ending... and yeah, it was worth the wait.
While we eventually got the closure we deserved 18 months later with The Peacekeeper Wars, the original 2003 cliffhanger left fans reeling for a long time. We wrap up this episode by discussing our Best and Worst episodes of Season 4.
NOTE: We are taking a brief break from the Uncharted Territories! Next time, we're heading to New York City for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. Stay tuned - we'll be back for the Peacekeeper Wars soon!

John drops a bomb on some Scarrans, while Sikozu is the bomb for others. Our final multipart story of the Farscape regular series wraps up with Season 4, Episode 21: "We're So Screwed, Part 3: La Bomba." We finally get answers to our questions from last week, but with only one episode left in the regular series (not counting The Peacekeeper Wars), the clock is ticking. We break down Grayza’s ultimate meltdown as her ambitions crumble, Sikozu’s "fiery" reveal, and that ending where everyone gets some quality time... except, unfortunately, for John and Aeryn. One more to go... awwww... :(

Our final multipart story of the Farscape regular series jumps into high gear with Season 4, episode 20, We're So Screwed, Part 2: Hot to Katratzi. This one has tons of plot twists, character twists and a nice gun battle at the end. And we have a surprise guest star -- Stark. And he's quite happy to help torture Scorpius for the Scarrans. Crichton crashes the Scarran/Peacekeeper "peace" conference and offers wormhole tech to the highest bidder. Let the scheming and backstabbing commence!

It's our final multipart story of the Farscape series (not counting the Peacekeeper Wars mini-series).  Season 4, episode 19, We're So Screwed, Part 1: Fetal Attraction. And as always, Farscape delivers a great start to their multiparter.  One filled with action, humor, crew drama and surprise plot twists galore! And a reunion between John Crichton and a new and improved "old friend"... 2.0.  Surprisingly their plans go pretty well this time around, with a few impromptu changes which cost a few lives of those around them, much to Noranti's dismay.  They do rescue Aeryn but Scorpius is captured by the Scarrans.  Oh well, they don't need him, they can just leave and not try to rescue Scorpy... or can they?

We pick up right where the last episode of Farscape ended, with season 4, episode 18, Prayer. Where we learn all about what Aeryn's been going through since she was captured; and John and Scorpius go for a ride... back to that "Bizarro" Moya mashup from several episodes ago.  Usually Jason and Eric are on the same page with episodes, but this time Jason liked it more. Eric didn't connect with the majority of the supporting characters and didn't think most of the plotlines worked for him. Although they did both think Aeryn's crisis of faith reminded them of Pedro Cerrano from the movie Major League. But even when Farscape has an "average" episode, there are still some good things to take away from it and good things to look forward to as the final season wraps up.

So your girlfriend and mother of your unborn child has been captured by your enemies, what are you going to do about it?  In John Crichton's case, go watch some TV show with clips of your return to Earth and what various panelists think of your alien companions. This time around, we discuss Farscape season 4, episode 17, A Constellation of Doubt. And in between parts of the show, Crichton tries to remember where he heard about the secret Scarran base, Katratzi, where Aeryn is being held.  And he makes a startling offer to our old buddy Scorpius.

This time around we do a girls' trip episode of Farscape, with season 4, episode 16, Bringing Home the Beacon. And unlike the boy's trip last time, this is all just shopping, spa treatments and no other drama whatsoever. Who are we kidding, this is Farscape, so of course there's drama! The girls run into both Grayza and Scarrans while trying to get some equipment for Moya and have to deal with them while waiting for their purchase. But they aren't there for our crew, they're here to secretly negotiate a peace treaty. I'm sure nothing will go wrong with that and no one from our crew will be caught or anything...

The boys get some good bonding time away from Moya and the girls by going to mental arts training camp. Oh, who are we kidding, this is Farscape we're talking about. While at "camp", Rygel almost gets brain damage, John gets stuck in a cage that's slowly heating up and D'Argo comes face to face with his wife's murderer, her brother Macton. Macton is going to prove to D'Argo that it was D'Argo who killed her in a fit of hyper-rage, not him. Let the mind games begin!

We get closer and closer to the end of the final Farscape season with a review of season 4, episode 14, Twice Shy. The crew is back in Tormented Space after the last couple of episodes on Earth. They pick up some star charts from some traders but also pick up what appears to be a woman used by the traders as a slave. And, as you have come to know Farscape by now, things never go well when the crew picks up strangers. Their new passenger is not what she seems and they have to deal with her before she kills them all. Plus we learn more about both Scorpius' and John's hidden agendas towards each other and what that means for John and Aeryn's relationship.
