Topic: Peacekeeper (Farscape)


  
  Peacekeeper (Farscape) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peacekeepers are a militaristic organization in the Farscape universe.
In the Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars miniseries the tensions between the Scarrans and the Peacekeepers escalate into open conflict, due to Scorpius launching a pre-emptive strike against a Scarran battle-group.
It is later revealed that the Eidolons created the Peacekeepers as their acolytes in order to maintain peace by using prehistoric humans removed from Earth as a genetic base.

 : RevolutionSF - Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Farscape was a hit with critics and garnered a rabidly loyal cadre of fans, although -- SCI-FI execs were quick to point out amid the post-cancellation protests -- it never scored top ratings, and as the story grew it became less and less accessible to new viewers.
In a nutshell, the Farscape team got word of the cancellation after they had finished photography on the final episode of the season, which ended on the mother of all cliffhangers: the lead hero and heroine blown literally to bits as -- no lie -- on-screen text says "To Be Continued." Of course, it wasn't.
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars opens with squat alien emperor-in-exile Rygel (voiced by Jonathan Hardy) doing something he apparently was born to do but which we've never seen before -- swimming.

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.
When FARSCAPE was cancelled after Season Four and one of the great cliffhangers in TV history (John Crichton and Aeryn Sun becoming engaged to marry, but immediately afterwards being turned into a pile of crystallized pellets by a mysterious aircraft that flew over their boat), fans of the show responded with outrage.
FARSCAPE is one of my favorite series ever, and I'm delighted that the powers that be allowed it to end so very well.

Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars was going to be the cherry on top of the "You really screwed up this one, Bonnie!" sundae.
Farscape is a series well worth your time, and Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars was well worth the wait.
But Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, along with answering the cry of Scapers worldwide, has now raised the quality level (as it did on a weekly basis) on The SciFi Channel, a level that Hammer has proven time and time again she cannot meet.

They believe that they are all free to live their lives in peace away from the war between the universe's dominant races, the Peacekeepers and the Scarrans, but soon find out that the wormhole knowledge that Crichton holds in his mind is the key to victory for either side, and are back on the run.
Entitled "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars", the four-hour mini-series was ostensibly equivalent to what the planned fifth season would have been, albeit much shorter, but in no way less wonderful or engaging as the original 88 episodes.
Farscape was hands down one of the best sci fi series ever and I was greatly saddened when it was cancelled prematurely.

 DVD Verdict Review - Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars
As bizarre as it may seem, the dreaded, fascistic Peacekeepers have morphed into the good guys, or at least the closest thing to be found in the Farscape universe at this point.
Queen of the Damned), a former Peacekeeper commando herself, is inclined to agree.
In order to save the lives of Aeryn and their child, and restore some level of sanity to the galaxy, Crichton must use the one bargaining chip he has available to him, the one that he has thus far refused to use and refused to believe was possible: a wormhole weapon.

With state-of-the-art special effects, an out-of-this-world cast of characters, and adventure beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, Peacekeeper War is the most thrilling miniseries event of this and all future millennia.
Farscape, though, is a lot more subtle about it and, in a sense, it's better at it since it never really preaches at us.

Oddly, The Peacekeeper Wars also seems to swerve to the other extreme, pulling in quite a few secondary characters from various seasons of Farscape in what I'd guess is a sop for long-time fans.
The Farscape crew undoubtedly wanted to bid their characters farewell, but doing it like this on-camera just doesn't work, at least not when the previous three hours' worth of storytelling have been as trite and shallow as this.
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars is a two-disc set, packaged in a slim single-wide keepcase.

Elsewhere, all-out war is declared between the Peacekeepers and the Scarrans, and although Crighton and Aeryn just want to get married and live happily ever after, half-breed Peacekeeper Scorpius and Scarran Emperor Staleek are still covetous of Crighton's wormhole knowledge.
Tying up all the loose ends of the series, this feature provides a satisfactory conclusion for even the most ardent fan, with all of the original cast present, and a recreation of the look and feel of the show.

The war between the Scarrans and The Peacekeepers is the centerpiece of the miniseries Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars.
Such a fate befell the cult sci-fi series, Farscape, at the end of its fourth season in 2003, when the show was abruptly cancelled, leaving a cliffhanger, outraged fans and a despondent cast and crew in limbo.
VFXWorld spoke to returning Farscape veterans, producer Andrew Prowse and visual effects supervisor Benita Carey, who worked in tandem on the miniseries to ensure that Henson’s vision for the epic-scaled film was achieved through the creations of the animators and compositors on the project.

 Sci Fi’s ‘Peacekeeper Wars’ brings finale to ‘Farscape’ - PittsburghLIVE.com
The good news for people new to "Farscape" through the network's recent re-airing of the entire run of the show during the month of October, or for anyone who didn't watch it then or the first time around, is that the movie still works as a stand-alone entity.
After they are restored from their crystalline state, the movie becomes the story of their quest to find a peaceful moment to get married and have their child.
Instead, "Farscape's" not-so-future world was never a sunny place, and the gray and dark shades remain.

 Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars: SCI FI Channel Original Miniseries Review
The Jim Henson Creature Shop creations are nothing that “Farscape” fans have not seen already, but the high standards are carried over to this miniseries so in short, “Farscape” still has some of the most exotic extraterrestrial beings to ever appear in a single series.
“Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars” elevates the series as a whole to new heights as the best sci-fi television series to air on TV since “Babylon 5” and anyone who knows how much of a fan I was of that show, can definitely attest that my stating this must mean I am extremely serious.
“Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars” will debut on the SCI FI Channel with the World Premiere of Part One on Sunday, October 17, 2004, at 9pm (ET/PT) and the conclusion airing on Monday, October 18, 2004, at 9pm (ET/PT).

I too was really surprised to hear that that was the intended ending for season four, seeing as though they were told the show had been cancelled on the last day of filming, so they didn't have time to change anything.
The Peacekeeper Wars is what would have been the main arc of season five compressed into four hours.
As you say, even by Farscape standards it was really sudden and totally came out of nowhere, yet at the same time it was just so very Farscape.

Just like during the duration of the series, everyone is after John Crichton and the secrets of wormhole technology that are spinning around in his pop culture spouting brain.
The stakes have gotten higher as the Scarrans and the Peacekeepers have declared all out war, a war that is going very badly for the Peacekeepers.
Like many other shows that became inaccessible to the general audience, Farscape became a series that played to smaller and smaller audience while new viewers usually took one look and found themselves hopelessly lost in the plot.
