Yeah. I'd say that we'd tie up that amount of loose ends normally in the course of a season, but it all had to be contracted. But there was no point really in doing the mini-series unless we could tick a lot of boxes.And there's a lot of death and destruction... We had always been told that the universe of Farscape we were trying to create right from the very beginning was one where if someone was hit it hurt. They weren't trying to make us superheroes. John Crichton was supposed to be an everyday guy who was placed in an extraordinary situation. And though Aeryn was supposedly a genetically-bred supersoldier, what hurt her mostly were things that affected her heart, and boy did they hit her.

What made the show good was precisely what made it difficult for people to tune in fresh, because there was a lot of layering, a lot of back-story. You look at a show that's so beautifully plotted and thought-out like Stargate, not as much, character-wise, ends up on screen. They plot it out incredibly well in their minds, they have a lot of texture for their characters, but it's not necessarily revealed as much on screen. It makes it easier for people to tune in on an episodic basis.
