There's a lot about the ending that I did like. Chiana's blindness. Rygel and D'Argo's running commentary. The ring. John standing up and yelling like the maniac he really is.
And then the asspull. No, I can't say I enjoyed watching John and Aeryn being turned into a pile of jujubes. Damn you, Kemper!
I think my ideal ending for the series would have been John, Aeryn, and Pilot in the transport pod, punching through the wormhole -- and they're going, and going, and going, and they pass through the Scarran ship, and they're going, and right before they're about to punch through the other side, John says something like, "Are we there yet?" Then John and Aeryn look at each other, smile the crazy smiles, cut to the expectant crew on Moya where a blind Chiana asks, "Did they make it?", and WHAM.
Blackout.
To be continued.
Would've been better from a fic perspective, anyway...

I loved all that. ADORED. FRELLING DROOLED OVER IT. CHEERED. In fact, with the exception of the last 2 minutes or so, this would have been a perfect series finale for me. God, John's yelling reaction was so cute-- and so wonderfully in character. I've often wondered if John has always seemed so vocal about his feelings/ emotional outbursts (in situations like this, good or bad) because in being the only human he didn't feel the need to supress. He could stand up in a room full of aliens and yell anything he wanted, because all the aliens are going to think he's weird anyway no matter what he does.
I really liked both the boat scene and the commentary scene beside it. I also liked Chiana's blindness; it's sort of emblematic of her maturity, and how she's changed so much from a selfish, sulky thief more like Rygel than anyone else, to being devoted to their "family" and to John and in attitude more like D'Argo.
Also, her conversation suggesting that sex will cure writer's block was hilarious. "Sex with you or with him?" "Both, whatever." ::snicker::

That's how I expected it to end: I kept waiting and waitign for the bomb to drop but much to my surprise everything worked and was resolved wonderfully. And the surprise cliffhanger was from a new threat, not the same enemies.
The production company probably left the cliffhanger there to spark interest in continuances or movies, as well as to give the finger to the network after the network screwed them over.

Redbeard's Farscape Archive is the other big one, but, wow, it doesn't look like it's been updated since last May...

"He just proposed."
"What?"
"Marriage."
"Idiot!"

In a way, though - it's kind of what I'd expect. Everything to work out and then, - um - oops! Sorry! Wrong number!
