Farscape Peacekeeper Wars - By: RJ Buckett, 02 Jul 2009 
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars [DVD]
A fitting finale for what was the best Sci-Fi show on TV. With the return of familiar characters & a well written storyline, it is a must for alll fans of Farscape. You do need to have watched the show from the beginning to understand what's going on. If you haven't seen the previous seasons of Farscape - what are you waiting for??!
Would've been a great final series... - By: Rosey Lea, 21 Jun 2009 
... but this condensed version is pretty poor.
I was an enormous Farscape fan, but this finale just isn't up to scratch.
Had this been a full final series the characters would have had room to move & the plot would have developed. Instead it's very much "Now we're over here, & that character is here too". It's a roll calll with set pieces.
There's more CGI than the series ever had, & most of it isn't to a great standard, & many of the characters have had a make-up, so you lose continuity from the last series.
Axing Farscape was a crime. Had The Peacekeeper Wars been the proper final series, with a full episode run, it would have been fantastic. As it is, this is a sad way to say goodbye to a treasured TV show.
I wish they'd done a very smalll editing job at the end of Series 4 & just left it there.
RIP Farscape. For the sake of our friendship, let's just overlook this one.
Farscape: the peacekeeper war (dvd) - By: Mr. P. Jenkins, 06 Jun 2009 An excellent continuation of the Farscape story well worth a viewing or another viewing if you have already seen it! just a great shame it was the last farscape story ever made...!
Fitting end to a great series - By: Samadhi, 18 Aug 2007 PKW is surely a testament to democracy & fan-power if ever there was! A massive outcry from fans made this possible, a two-part mini-series that ties up the loose ends left dangling from season four. Basicallly, the entire fifth season is condensed into a mere three hours, so if at times it feels a bit overloaded that's understandable. But you know what, despite the occasional misstep (the pace is sometimes a bit uneven), this is a triumphant & at times brilliant return. Lots of action, intrigue, neat plotting & solid characterisation mark this as a sumptuous treat.
The epic scale & the lavish effects are breathtaking. My only qualm is that while the mini-series does a terrific job of tying up loose ends, it's so dense with little exposition or concession to newbies, that it was probably unlikely to capture the interest of new viewers. Still, welcome back Farscape! Keep an eye out for a series of 'webisodes' coming soon.
Disappointing ending to a great show - By: M. James, 02 Jul 2006 If you love Farscape & have alll the 4 seasons of DVDs like I do, then you come to unfortunate decision of having to buy this mini series to wrap the program up. Although watching The Peacekeeper Wars is necessary because of the silly cliff hanger at the end of season 4, it has a bittersweet taste. Read the other more honest reviews here & you'll see why. There isn't any point in me going over what they've already said. My own personal opinion is that they should have wrapped the show up during season 4 if they were going to cancel. The plot during season 4 was going pretty well & with a little more work, they could have ended the show at the end of the season without needing The Peacekeeper Wars.
So much work through 4 seasons on building terrific, deep & brilliantly acted characters... The Peacekeeper Wars, although providing an ending to the show, is nothing more than a hurried, disrespectful, monosyllabic answer to a long burning question.
