Agreed on most points. It felt rushed to me too but otherwise it was good. The changes in make up and appearances didn't bother me at all though. My biggest complaint was that the ending was TOO happy and too tidy for my taste. I realize we *might* have lost D'argo (that wasn't made all that clear or final - you never see him dead - just the rush of gunfire) but I kind of expected more casualties if this was the final big bang. Maybe I'm just a massochist. I was surprised there was nothing much of Scorpius's reaction after the wormhole weapon was fired. He just kind of stood there mouth agape. Certainly a peace was forced but Scorpius's grudge against the Scarrans is hardly resolved. One would think he'd still be plotting against them. John's coma and then sudden awakening felt really rushed. I never was worried that he wouldn't recover. They failed to put that fear into me- it felt weak.

As for point 2 - Sikozu told Scorpius that she had made a deal with the Scarrans - something about they were promising her peace or release of her people if she helped them...something like that. I get the impression that it was her mission all along, even before she met Scorpius. I'll have to go back and watch all her episodes again to see if there were any clues. It seems awfully random to throw that in unless it had been planned all along.

>4. What the frell was the deal with Grayza's pregnancy?

You got me. I was totally mystified on that one. Perhaps there had been further plans for that, perhaps they're leaving that hanging as a future plot line (John's baby?) but it almost seems as if it would have been less confusing to leave it out.

My favorite bits: 1812 "singing" his theme song and John and D'Argo "You tell them who their daddy is..."
