Ah, I hope then I didn't spoil the end of the last season for you, but it looks like you were expecting something of the like.

I'll say this much, I don't believe the last episode was made with the intent to end the series with it, or the knowledge that the show wouldn't get continued (yet).

I started following Farscape on British television, fell out of it for a while, then got back into it for the last season or so. Luckily, Dutch television later picked up the show from day one, and I hope they'll air all the episodes.

A lot of the show's "goals" have been fullfilled now. Crichton and Aeryn are together and Crichton's been to Earth. And the 'new goals' are piled up pretty high - both the Scarrans and Peacekeepers now know of Crichton's knowledge and value, plus Scorpius isn't going to give up until he's dead. Even though the ending of the series is a rather dramatic, it doesn't appear to me to be as the kind of ending the creators would give the show as a whole. Anyway, I can't elaborate on that without ruining it, so I'll hold off that discussion till the last episode has aired in the US as well.

I'm not one to organize protests or make more effort than a few e-mails or letters to stop a show from cancelling, but damn, I'd hate to see this one go without an ending more to my satisfaction. I don't know, even for less conventional fiction series like Farscape, I need a bit of "and they lived happily ever after".
