Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars: Review

starstarstarstar
Fans of the Sci-Fi Channel series will be glad to rejoin the characters they grew to love, but newcomers may not find this further adventure especially appealing. Somewhere in a faraway galaxy, the uneasy peace between the Scarran Empire and the so-called Peacekeeper Alliance dissolves. A pre-emptive attack by the Peacekeepers' mutinous Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) precipitates all-out cosmic war. Meanwhile, a vessel named Moya floats near the peaceful Water Planet; the ship’s crew is trying to revive human hero John Crichton (Ben Browder) and his Sebacean lover Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black). Scavenger Rygel (Jonathan Hardy) collects the pieces of the crystallized lovers, spits them out and reassembles them, but somehow the process leaves Rygel playing host to Aeryn's unborn child, which he must carry to term — or at least until further notice. Crichton, a dispossessed astronaut from Earth, wants nothing more than simple domesticity with his alien bride-to-be. But Scorpius learns of his recent rebirth and intends to extort some favors from the fugitive, and both the Scarrans and Peacekeepers covet the knowledge they believe he possesses about worm hole explosives. The skittish Eidelons, who inhabit the Water Planet, want to stay out of whatever trouble may be brewing and ask Crichton and his crew to leave. Once known as negotiators, the ancestors of the present-day Eidelons still exist as holographs in the remote cave of Arnessk and as the Scarrans and Peacekeepers continue their galactic tug-of-war, Crichton proposes a reunion of present and past Eidelons. The power-hungry Scorpius, however, doesn't want this ancient race to share its secret for harmonious co-existence. And even if Crichton pulls off his diplomatic coup, a problem remains: How to get the Eidelons close enough to the Scarrans and Peacekeepers to influence them. The Henson Company’s eye-popping bevy of intergalactic creatures suits this space adventure, whose gag-laden script is nowhere near as engaging as the special effects. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
