    Oddly enough, aren't comics drawn at least 1 month in advance?

    See, I'll disagree with you on that: I think the show started off a little slow (not bad, just getting up to speed), and got better the further it went along. My favorite season was the third, but the fourth was still excellent. I'm a big fan of shows that have serial storylines, as opposed to being more episodic, and Farscape started off episodic and became more serial the longer it went on.

    Typically yes. But it's been known for awhile when the new Farscape miniseries would air, so it'd be easy to draw that particular one well in advance. It's just like doing theme comics meant to run on holidays and so forth.

    I don't think they've ever done a "this is all a dream" type of episode. Several of them came close, but at the end it turns out to be part of the plot, and important.

    SPOILERS:

    My guess is either they were cloned at some point, or those laser blasters teleported them somewhere and left fake shells behind to be destroyed, so that everyone will think they're dead. It's also possible that the John and Aeryn you see at the end of the episode are actually those robotic replacements we've seen before (Aeryn, Stark).

    Why doesn't John get married to that alien already so we can have the series end. They keep dragging it and dragging it. It's like a soap opera in space. It's freakin annoying.

    Well, if you'd actually watched it, you'd know that John was avoiding Aeryn because Scorpi was watching them, and John didn't want Scorpi to be able to use Aeryn and the coming baby as leverage against him. All scifi series are space soap operas. Farscape was the most innovative scifi around. Unfortunately, the TV channels, and most viewers, just want yet another Star Trek with a different cast.
