Well... It would seem that we now know why Sabaceans and Humans are so similar.

Wot's a Sabacean? Is that like a Crustacean? And is it good with drawn butter and lemon?
Check A&E, they run them pretty often.
Catch it again tonight. They're reshowing the first half at 7pm, and then showing the conclusion for the first time at 9pm. If you want to tape the whole thing, taping from 7pm to 11pm is your best bet.

They might bring back Farscape permanently? Are you series? Got a link or something? Cause that would be awesome. I hope they're not painting themselves into a corner with this movie.

The Night Stalker.
Other than that minor plot hole, I love the miniseries--especially how they're tying together so many old plot threads.
Kolchak Stalks Again?
Frank Spotnitz, one of the creative forces behind The X-Files, is developing a fresh take on the classic supernatural TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker for ABC, the original home of the spooky series, Variety reported. X-Files creator Chris Carter often cited Kolchak as one of the inspirations for his own show.
Kolchak debuted as a pair of 90-minute telefilms in 1972 and 1973 and became a short-lived weekly ABC series in September 1974, with The Sopranos creator David Chase and film director Robert Zemeckis among its writers. Darren McGavin played a reporter named Carl Kolchak who had a tendency to uncover mysteries involving vampires, serial killers and other freakish occurrences, the trade paper reported.
It's unclear how closely the new Night Stalker will mirror the format and mood of the original, which was based on a novel by Jeff Rice, the trade paper reported.

Haven't you heard of the "Music of the Spheres"? :D
I'll be generous and give you my take on it (you -have- to be generous to let Farscape get away with their inconsistencies, heheheh)
Chrichton may not -consciously- have the knowledge of how to create wormhole weapons, but unconsciously he does, because the Ancients put it there. That's how the "other" Crichton was able to blow away the Scarran Dreadnought in the episode where the Ancient "Jack" dies.
At that point Chrichton believed that Harvey was the one giving Scorpius that knowledge - and for all he knew, Harvey had access to both his conscious and unconscious knowledge.
Harder for me to reconcile was how the Scarrans who lacked worhomole technology figured out how to use wormholes enough to use one to get to Earth in the final episode. Took me quite a while to figure out a way to give 'em that one, and even then it's still a stretch, heheheh.

I'm ronrey. So ronrey....
got nominated for an Oscar.
Oh come now, Sci Fi has to have Cheezy Special Effects and a British Accent!
Blake 7 and Red Dwarf forever....
Rumor has it, if the ratings for "Peacekeeper Wars" are high enough, someone might step up to pick up Farscape again. Similarly, when "Serenity" (based on Firefly) comes out next year in the theaters, it will also be considered as an audition for resurrecting the series.
It's a long-shot, but if the PW ratings are good enough, and SciFi acts quickly, they may be able to have new Farscape episodes ready to show by the start of their 2005 season (July). If so, my guess (based on nothing other than my opinion) is that they move SG: Atlantis to Fri 9PM (SG-1's old slot) and put Farscape on Fri at 10PM. Should Firefly come back, I'd guess it would be on UPN, given their existing relationship with Joss Wheadon and their willingness to at least try sci-fi.
As far as the mini-series, I enjoyed part 1 of PW -- the cast seemed to pick up with their chemistry right where they left off (though Pilot seems more aloof than usual), and they did a great job tying back to old story elements while moving the main story forward. Even Jewel's cameo seemed to fit in with the story and not just be a gratuitous nod for an old recurring character. Looking forward to part 2 tonight! (A much better choice than Bucs/Rams... yuck.)
They got the charts off of D'Argo's ship, and knew where to find the wormhole. How they expected to navigate it is anyone's guess -- they may have failed to reach Earth even if Crichton did not destroy the wormhole.
"They got the charts off of D'Argo's ship, and knew where to find the wormhole. How they expected to navigate it is anyone's guess -- they may have failed to reach Earth even if Crichton did not destroy the wormhole."
Fair point! And actually, since I do believe D'Argo's ship did traverse the wormhole, they could navigate it by simply replotting Lo'la's path. They could follow the chart -through- the wormhole just as easily as the chart -to- the wormhole.
I had previously addressed it by assuming that maybe Grayza had had her critter (that killed D.K. in the Earth episode) leave some sort of beacon on Earth that they could follow, and the Scarrans found out about it somehow, but I had forgotten that they'd gotten into the guts of D'Argo's ship. Your explanation is much better, and it doesn't even really require a stretch.

But how come it sounds like it was written by John Williams!
It was Fan-FRELLING-tastic.
If only we had the 5th season instead... stupid frelniks at Skiffy...
