I don't think it's a revival, but The CW is rebooting the property. I'd bet good money they'll try to link it back to the original show.

Aye, didn't know about this. Though I should reiterate, I really did mean a continuation of The Legend Continues, and this seems surface-level unlike that at all. But! You could be right, torre.
I don't like what I've seen of it based on the trailer, but I'm kind of allergic to The CW's formula, anyway. I'll keep an eye on it. Cool that the IP isn't totally gone.
I'm okay with this. Farscape is probably my favorite scifi show of all time but I'm fine with there not being more. If anything I would have liked peacekeeper wars to have a full season instead of what it had but we are way past that now. Something is nice about letting a thing end and it ended well. On top of that I haven't liked much of the extra stuff that has come out after it ended like the comics.
The comics weren't great, yeah. I feel like they tried to go far too "epic" for the limited scope each issue could truly tackle. Some of the storytelling choices were... weird, too, and not in that singularly Farscape definition of weird. Just weird.
I'd feel the same about it ending well if it weren't for the fact that
Rygel's return to his homeworld hadn't occurred yet and Sikozu surviving her tomfoolery. I guess I could also point to how Chiana and Jothee's relationship came across to me as unfinished, with the probable purpose of developing it further during Rygel's attempted revolution.
As regards the show's core, however, I totally agree and I'm damn glad we got that miniseries.
The wormhole MacGuffin came to a satisfying conclusion. The Peacekeeper and Scarran conflicts were (forcefully) resolved a la Crichton. John and Aeryn became parents, earning the happily-ever-after that had been teased from roughly half an hour into the very first episode. Heck, Scorpius found a measure of personal resolution, which, like... only Farscape would torment the cast with somebody for years only to go that route with them. But it works. Because Farscape.
The one thing I will never quite understand: Grayza's role in the miniseries.
I mean. Mostly, it tracks. We're introduced to this Grand Chancellor fellow; he gets weak-kneed near the end; so she kills him and assumes command. All very Grayza. But why is she pregnant? And why am I supposed to care?
