I spent my Sunday and Monday nights watching Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, a miniseries on SciFi Channel.  This was a thoroughly excellent continuation of Farscape.  I was one of those fans who was quite upset when SciFi canceled the show — prematurely if I must label it — in the height of its popularity.  I watched this series as close to religiously as one can get without actually being religious.  I certainly wasn’t disappointed in this miniseries, what can only be described as an attempt at damage control by SciFi, as it was truly a continuation of the series.

Deemed for some time as the most cinematic series on television and cable, Farscape has always been an engrossing sci-fi program.  The miniseries picked up right where the series left off and carried the story forward to a decent conclusion.

It’s already been said that this doesn’t necessarily have to be the end of the Farscape franchise.  I certainly hope not.

The Peacekeeper Wars starts with a bang and ends with a smile.  The adventures of John Crichton and Aeryn Sun and the rest of the gang.  Of course it’s a soap opera.  It’s certainly science fiction.  Adventure?  Got it.  Drama?  There’s some of that in there as well.

I suppose it’s like any other series in that it tries to encompass the entire spectrum of programming options — all in one show.

Farscape seems to do it best, though, as far as I’m concerned.  This show is terribly entertaining and the miniseries will interest anyone who loves a good story.  If you liked the series, you’ll more than enjoy The Peacekeeper Wars.  It will obviously never win an Academy Award or an Emmy, but it sure will entrance people who love good entertainment.
