As dedicatted Farscape fan I like to know if Scorpius should stay on Moya.
I think it was the best seizon them all together on one ship is he really there for his own protection or is he still working for the Peacekeepers.
Because he knows that John would never give him the technologie to built a wormhole.
So if you cant beat them join them?

well, I certainly have no answers, but I'm positive that John and Scorpy aren't done with each other yet. (And besides, Harvey's back, too.)
If you want to tantalize yourself, you should read the short story that appeared in the last issue of Farscape magazine -- it was written by Rockne O'Bannon himself. (You can't get the magazine anymore --- except maybe on eBay, but the story is posted somewhere. Sorry, but I don't know where.)

There was an interview with Wayne Pygram in the February issue of Starlog where he said he absolutely hated the idea, because there didn't seem to be any point in his character being there. I have to admit I'm in agreement - Scorpy is a very focused person and it appears wrong to have him reacting to events rather than initiating them.
Besides he's not a "one of the gang" kind of guy - he's more a lone wolf. :smokin:

I'm one of the people who like Scorpius gone for good. I find him to be tiresome. It's time for new blood. I wasn't really happy to see him continue on as Harvey, but I got used to that. I was really unhappy to see that he made it into S4 and onto Moya. I think he ruins the dynamic of the Moya crew. His scenes take up valuable crew scenes.

I couldn’t disagree more – To me Scorpy’s stay aboard Moya and his interactions with John opened up a whole new dynamic within the arch of both characters. It permanently alters the interactions with the characters and made for great drama.

What would become of the storyline I couldnt imagine that
Farscape got so populair without harvey.
Like I assumed he has his own agenda and is waiting for the right moment to strike.
You are right they will have to come up with something mind boggling but Iam confedent the wrighters will come up with even more fantastic material.
Thanks Lindsay White for the complement look at scifi.com farscape lots of cool stuff.
Who agrees Scorpy should go speak up or hold your tung.

Go in my sig and click on the links.
But for an Reader's Digest version.
Bascially there are foals who are going to be slaughtered in just over a month from now. The only thing wrong with them is they are a by-product of a hormone replacement drug making process. A wonderful group is trying to save the foals and some of your fellow Scapers are trying to help. We have a prearranged home for two of them and are working on raising the money to pay for them. The raffle was created to help. So go check it out.

Now I get it some people think that animals are goods that you can do with as they please.
It mkes me sick I own two cats and last week I heard they pored
gasoline over a kitten and set it on fire.
Those people should get severly punished and not a ticket lock
them up and throw away the key.
I live in the netherlands so what can I do to help in a nutshell

Donate and educate.
I'm willing to ship a raffle item to you if you win. Visit the other threads and forums and post your opinion and support of the project.
I didn't really like having scorpi on Moya either. I felt like he was just spinning his wheels, and from what I've read, Wayne Pigram was very unhappy with the arc the writers put his character on in S4. He basically said it was lame and pointless.

But he was the main drive to the story.
Could you imagine Farscape without him?

Isn't that the problem. I feel that he has become the easy crutch for the writers. I love these guys but spend more time developing Chiana and Dargo's stories. Hell, flesh out Granny and Sikozu. I can never get enough of John and Aeryn. I just think that the character has run his course. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving S4 right now, but I would rather not see a whole lot of attention placed on Scorpius in the mini. JMO.:)

Indeed it seems the writers have decided to use him repetitively to express points where they wouldn't want to bother writing in for anything else, heh.
But there's obviously a reason for this- he's such an attractive character- errh, in terms of personality that is- and he's formed one of those 'all hail Sephiroth'-style fanbases. (For those who don't know who Sephiroth is, he's the villain from a video game who everyone hails like he's Christ himself who has played the game.)
So in essence Scorpius has become Farscape on many levels, and without him things could seem wrong. Part of me would like to see him drop dead, but part of me understands why he never will.

There are so many things to do with his character but he himself
doesnt now what to do in the story its a bummer it has to go like this.

Heheh, he does seem rather 'clueless' lately, doesn't he? But we all know Scorpie has something going on in his mind, whether the writers know just what the heck that is at this point or not. *smirks*

here is a person who understands the value of Scorpius.
I have never seen a serie with this many plottwists.
Thats what keeps it interesting just when you think things couldnt
get wurse there you go murphys law.
The wrighter of farscape will have to give it its his best to keep scorpy in the series but with a good story.
I wouldnt doubt that he can do this acording to its previous work
Hell yeeeeah!!!
we want more!

The way I see it, Farscape has two central relationships - John/Aeryn and John/Scorpius. Scorpius and Aeryn are like the trainer wheels on a bike - balancing John who's in the middle.
Of course both Scorpius and Aeryn can be overused, or used wrongly, which I think they were in the fourth season...

Indeed, I think Scorpius is one of the most fascinating characters I've ever seen on tv shows or movies.

I hope Scorpius has a future too just like farscape.
But its troubling to hear that Wayne Pigram sez he feels lost in the last seizoen!!!
Lets hope that they have something going for him.
I would hate it if he has too stop atleast let him go out with a
BANG!!!!

Yeah, I wouldn't want him gone yet, but if he does have to leave for writing purposes or other reasons, I'd at least want him to be absolutely smashing in his personal finale.

Of course nothing is forever but thanks to him the story got big
The others helped to but scorpius was the drama.
And yes if his has to go go with a big bang and I mean big bang like in the birth of the universe!!
So lets hope it happens!!!!
