Holy shit, what a wonderful surprise!

Great writing, comedy, drama and a two boxer (tissues) all at the same time!

SciFi channel really screwed up dropping it.

2. The 2001 homage was great! I loved all the allusions to pop culture...
They even got a roots thing in at the end.

It's comong back on Sunday 3/2C. If you ever saw the series, watch this. It's worth the time.

6. This is one for the VCR until the disc comes out...
I'm buying it. This is absolutely the best piece of work the SciFi channel has put on since they did Dune. Maybe better.

4. Yes, the 2001 thing was nice
But I could have done without the "Lion King" homage at the end.

8. The final sendoff is well worth seeing.
Film making as it should be in the SciFi genre.

9. Best show on TV
It was great seeing a few hours of new Farscape. One of the best sources of one-liners out there.

11. I loved it!!!
At first I couldn't believe what they did to D"Argo, but maybe Joffee & Chiana will get together next Movie, Miniseries or Season, I Hope, Please,please. The way Harvey died was a great tribute to 2001:A Space Odyssey.

12. I do hope they will pick it back up...
But if they don't (I think they have all their money in the Battlestar Galactica and the Stargate franchise), The folks at Henson gave the series a better finish than I ever could have even hoped for.
