Any self-respecting Farscape fan already knows about this mini-series. But, just in case you've been wandering around the Uncharted Territories without a map, catch it again on the SciFi channel on the 24th.

The Farscape series ended after 4 seasons on a humdinger of a cliffhanger -- they disintegrated the two main characters! Fortunately, the Farscape production staff convinced the Powers That Be to let them tell more of the story in miniseries format. So far (part 2 is tonight) they've done a bang-up job of it. It's like sitting down with old friends you haven't seen in a while and shooting the breeze -- it's a comfortable experience, you still get along, and after a while it feels like you were never parted.

Story-wise, I like what they've done so far. They don't let the characters off easy, and they keep getting pulled deeper and deeper into trouble, forced to face the things that they're trying to avoid. Despite their enforced hiatus, the actors have banded back together to give us a taste of the good old days. This one will definitely go into my DVD archives (thanks to my new Tivo Humax player!).
