What a fun video! I first saw it last year at a Stargate con. I was
wondering where I could get it, but haven't actually set out to find it.
Thanks for the link!

Good times indeed. My five minutes of fame (okay, 3 and a half minutes of
air time before I was whacked). Linda and Lisa followed, but I was the
first. BTW, the episode title was "A Fate Worse Than Death".

Well, the only Peacekeepers he knew at that point all had accents that
were vaguely British/Australian. He was just trying to fit in with what
he saw. Later, he had seen so much more that the accent no longer seemed
necessary.

He died as a warrior should die . . . holding the pass against superior
forces in order to allow his friends and loved ones to escape. Cliché
but fitting.
While in some ways I would like to see more Farscape, I am not unhappy
with the way it ended in "Peacekeeper Wars". There is a limit (or
should be ) to how many seasons one can be chased around the galaxy by
psychotic half-breed killers and giant lizards munching on Bird Of
Paradise plants. Only so many wormholes one should be able to traverse.
Eventually, you should either die (heroically) or retire in peace with a
partner who loves you. Any number of series could learn a lesson from
Farscape about bringing a story to a satisfying conclusion.
