Product Description
In a finale to the television series, astronaut John Crichton and his co-horts, a band of extraterrestrial refugees, try to keep the secret of wormhol
Created at least in part due to popular demand, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars will provide some closure to fans who were dismayed by the demise of the popular science fiction television show in 2003 and campaigned mightily to bring it back. Indeed, this miniseries (originally broadcast over two nights on the Sci-Fi Channel) will likely appeal primarily to the Farscape faithful, as the somewhat convoluted storyline may prove baffling to the uninitiated. A brief bit of backstory explains how John Crichton, an astronaut from Earth, went through a wormhole and ended up on Moya, a living spaceship, with a motley group of aliens, including D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe), Chiana (Gigi Edgley), various puppet characters (designed by the Jim Henson Company), and Aeryn (Claudia Black), Crichton's love interest, who's expecting their first child. As The Peacekeeper Wars begins, our heroes find themselves in the middle of a war-to-end-all-wars between the lizard-like, implacably evil Scarrans and their rivals, the Peacekeepers. Crichton is the lynchpin in all of this, as his knowledge of "wormhole technology" is coveted by all, including his old nemesis Scorpius (Wayne Pygram), who captured and tortured Crichton back in season 1 and with whom Crichton must now form an uneasy alliance against the Scarrans. Over the course of the three-hour miniseries, we get lots of weird- and cool-looking aliens, some nice sets and special effects, plenty of battles, and lots of portentous talk about the fate of the universe--nothing especially original, but all presented with outstanding production values. There's drama and action, love and betrayal, tragedy and triumph, war and, ultimately, peace, with a suitably spectacular ending (and a nod to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey). With a 30-minute "making of" documentary among the DVD special features, The Peacekeeper Wars is a fitting way to end the Farscape saga. --Sam Graham

 Sad To See You Go August 10, 2010
Brian
Haven't watched the DVD yet to see if it's really Farscape or a bootlegged copy of a bad VHS dub of the Star Wars Christmas special that fuzzes out about 20 minutes into the show and is replaced by someone's grandparents re-enacting the hot tub scene from "Eurotrip". I'm certain it will play fine, though.
A fitting end to a great series... August 3, 2010
Arturo Bustamante (Indianapolis, Indiana)
Peacekeeper Wars certainly does the best it can to fulfill all the expectations left by such a strange ending to the television run of the show.
Scorpius returns August 2, 2010

Wow, what a great ending to a really fantastic show. Scifi lovers have been robbed of several more years of the journies into the uncharted lands that we should have been allowed.
Somehow, I still believe that Scorpius will return again in the future!!!!!!
Thanks for the memories

I loved this show. This was the conclusions to the series that they didn't get to do when the show was cancelled.
Great. July 23, 2010
K. Michele (Phoenixville, PA 19460)
It is definitely a movie that runs off the show if i had never seen the show i am not sure i would have a clue what was going on but other than that it was perfect just like the shows. i have heard that some say it is a little rushed but i thought they did it really well especially since they were supposed to have a full fifth season. Over all i loved it. The chemistry is just like the show.
