"without a doubt the best science fiction feature film to be released this year… with more twists and turns than any single "Indiana Jones" adventure… the miniseries is so satisfying that … it will leave all viewers … with a sense that they have witnessed something truly wondrous"-Mark A. Rivera genreonline.net
"an absorbing, confounding, challengingly complex universe ... the richly drawn characters always come first."
-Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune
"...four critically drooled-over seasons and more sci-fi awards than you could shake a flax net at...enough imaginative twists, character insights and impressive special effects (both CGI and organic) to make it truly unique and inescapable once you’ve gotten hooked."
-Bill Frost The Salt Lake City Weekly
"hair-raising adventure, hairbreadth escapes and general lunacy...complex, character-driven story, broad humor, rollicking adventure, and some of the most dazzling aliens ever seen on the large or small screen"
-Kate O'Hare zap2it.com
" witty, suspenseful, …astonishingly inventive… among the marks of quality is the way "Peacekeeper Wars" has succeeded … in linking its male and female leads romantically without blowing the tension between them. "Farscape" makes it look effortless... It will long be remembered as one of the finest science fiction productions to grace the small screen."
-Colorado Springs Gazette
"Imaginative, visually impressive… giddy humor… legitimate drama… a fine ensemble of actors… the outer space visuals are elegant and compelling. … Best of all, there's a thundering good climax"
-Michael R. Farkash Hollywood Reporter
"The netizens of www.savefarscape.com produced a miracle...And what a show they saved. "Farscape" was and is an epic combination of "Star Trek" and "Fraggle Rock" on acid. Its first 88 episodes range from bizarre to surreal to tragic... the most intelligent science-fiction television show ever produced"
-Greg Feltes Northern Star
"… nothing less than the sort of epic mythology, battles, quests and morals explored in George Lucas' "Star Wars."…this new miniseries does it just as well - maybe better. … "Farscape" has returned, not with a vengeance, but with a triumph."
-David Bianculli NY Daily News
"Gorgeously epic ... pulsating battle action whizzing past ... eye-popping special effects of astonishing scope ... clever maturity ... In this lavish four-hour series finale, one of the tube's richest character dramas does a dazzling job wrapping the lost-in-space odyssey of its cool cowboy astronaut."
-- Newsday
"... witty, elegant and deliciously complex ...a compelling and deeply satisfying cinematic experience, one that rivals some of Hollywood's best science-fiction adventures ... kick-ass sexiness ... truly spectacular in its scale and vivid emotional range ... There has never been a sci-fi fantasy series so elaborately entertaining, so witty and thrilling and moving. You don't need to know a Scarran from a Sebacean to admire Farscape's creative energy and celebrate its return. Hang on for the ride ..."
-- TV Guide
"You need not be a fanatical follower of the show to relish this mini-series. All you need is a taste for science fiction. Production values and special effects are near big-screen in quality ... full of wit, irony and sexy jokes. The Peacekeeper Wars takes Farscape out in a blaze of glory. It will long be remembered as one of the finest science-fiction productions to grace the small screen."
-- Houston Chronicle
"A crowd-pleasing sci-fi spectacular ... more comedy and a stronger emotional punch than you might ever imagine. "
--- USA Today
"Lavish, colorful and loopily entertaining ... imagination and style ... A playfully rambunctious wit ... "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" is also pretty fantastic. When you're lost in space, trying to save the universe, a sense of humor is a must. May the "Farscape" force of fun and funny be with you."
-- Detroit Free Press
"BLOODY BRILLIANT ... achingly funny ... stunning FX ... a visual feast .. sharp and witty ... one of the most spectacular scenes ever seen on small screen SF, a giddying mix of high emotion, hysteria, destruction, tension, and sacrifice ... Ben Browder and Claudia Black are nothing short of magnificent. If it was ever in doubt, there’s no question now that these two are among the best series leads ever in science fiction: charismatic, passionate and totally convincing"
-- SFX magazine
"The sci-fi TV event of the year" -- Dreamwatch
"pretty damn cool" -- Ain't It Cool News
"a rare treat." -- Christian Science Monitor
