Did anyone else catch this when it was on Sci-fi in Dec?
I was really hoping it would have gone into more depth, I loved the books but the Mini-series cut too much out, It left some of the better parts, but it cut alot of it out.

Well I did get to watch it, but I haven't read the book so I can't say how it didn't do the book justus, but I did feel that the whole thing was rushed, especially the second part of it.

yeah it was way too "mini-ish" to be great- I wish the studio's in general and Sci-fi in specific would do decent sized mini's- you now like they did with the North and the South mini series make it 6-8 hours or more. That is the only way to make decent show's out of great books.

heck it doesn't even make for a good mini- maybe as a closer/opener for a season break(love cliff hanger endings)it would be ok, but you can't do a whole show that way, that was one of the problem's I had with Farscape Peace Keeper wars--It was just like the series was--which was awesome-but it really isn't an ending-They created too many questions with it. It may be the end of one era, but what come's after that era? You can't tell me that John,and Aeryn,and Baby D are going to be happy just floating through space on Moya forever and ever.

Sure there was a lot of loose ends to the Farscape movie, but that just means that there is room for them to do another movie, or two , or three  |

I liked the little mini-series. I think they did the best they could in the time they had to do the movie. Four hours is not long enough for a good movie, but if it ends with doubt(like what will happen next) then they'll make another movie, if the ratings were good enough.

hopefully they do that. I just wish it would have been longer to get a better feel for the book it was based on.
