I thought that it was important for me to be up front about this, since I've been such a total raving fangirl regarding Farscape. It's okay to love a thing, even if it gets you branded a dork, but it's also to point out flaws now and then (and, in this case, the flaws are largely the aftereffect of the SFC cancellation, making it that much more important to mention them).
Definitely, honest criticism is always the best....and I think that's an important point, too, that a lot of what people are picking up on -- the rushed quality, the plot bits (like the pregnancy) apparently left out, &c -- were sort of circumstancial problems, not born-of-the-story problems. If that makes sense.
Had I not scene every episode at least three or four times (and some five or six), I'd have been lost, too.
I'd actually watched a lot of the late S4 eps on the Sci Fi "marathon" they had right before the premiere, and I still missed a lot of the plot points. But at least it's a hook to possibly get people interested in repeat viewings!
Whatever else the mini was, it was not new-viewer friendly. And, personally, I think if it had been, we'd have hated it.
Heh, v probably not.
noticed stuff from the trailers and pub stills that was missing. So I'd guessed (and hoped) we'd get an extended cut in the DVD. Hopefully, that'll help a bit with the rushed feeling.
There were at least two really striking photos of Chiana whizzing around some energy vapor trail things that I kept waiting to see, and waited in vain for. I'm guessing there's a number of scenes like that.
