No Spoilers...so not much of a review, but more a shout out to the Commander for praising this show. I absolutely adore it, especially this possible swan song episode. If anyone is interested in aiding in the campaign to Bring Back Farscape, please visit www.savefarscape.com .
Long Live Moya!
I personally really like Farscape, but I've been watching the show since the beginning. The writers/creators of the show have said that they would have finished telling their story in 2 more seasons. Fans of the show just wish to hear how the story would have ended.
Though I can understand that Season 4 has no obvious major story arc, there are a few things I would like to point out.
Season 3's last few episodes were huge! Cataclysmic climax, with quite a few tie-ups to some lose threads. These episodes were quite dramatic and grand. So, in comparison, it appears that Season 4 starts off slow. However, this is a normal ebb and flow that all serials follow.
In the current season, we have the introduction to Sikozu. Not only beautiful but interesting racial abilities as well. I find her to be an excellent addition to the show. Scorpius is now something of a crew member now too. So we have their character development to the thread of the show.
Crichton now seems to have a deeper understanding of wormholes. He can predict the occurence of some of them with some preternatural ability. This season has developed this so far. Which lead up to the cliffhanger of the most recent episode.
So, though it appears to be one shots with no real story, there really is one there. Just like with any graphic series, novel series or television series, there are story arcs and one shots that lead up to some climax; only to begin a new one.
