okay, so final episode

[anotherred]

alright, questions here:
the lovely ending left us with well, both John and Aeryns , um, frelled bodies. Then there is this ring...which has er diamonds in it...which is carbon right???

is John not a carbon based life form, is Aeryn? then why did the diamond stay intact...other than to make you cry?

just being a pest, but of course wanting to know what and how they were desentegrated too and how will reintegrating happen?:D

[Chi27]

I think that visual was to make us cry. Here's an idea. If they were neutralized for examination then they must've been transported on board that alien ship minus their clothes and any other inanimate object on their body, i.e. the diamond ring. That seems to be the only explanation.

[anotherred]

but it sure had me depressed for weeks. Now I find that the repeats are at 3 am on thursdays and we don't have tivo yet!!!!

no fair:mad:

I agree with Chi27. That was my theory from the begining, that the ray transported them. My theory was that the ray would only transport living tissue and that John and Aeryn were potentially now on that alien ship totally starkers. (and possibly in containment tubes) My "the transporter only moves living tissue" theory stems from the fact that the diamond ring was not the only thing left behind in the boat. Also visible was Aeryn's pulse pistol and her leather coat. All three items would not be accepted by the transporter as they are not "alive". Doing this would also insure that the alien was not transporting anyone on board with a weapon they could use against him. (On Star Trek they have the ability to disable weapons as they come through the transporter. This aliens method may be even better. Why even let them bring it on board at all?)

Of course this is all just my speculation based on my many years as a Sci Fi geek. Considering the way the Sci Fi "universe" works the theory is sound. However, I have no doubt that what really happend, what the Farscape writers came up with, will be light years better than anything I or anyone else here can imagine. What they come up with, always is.

I have no doubt that the writers will come up with something ingenious in the mini as to what happened to J&A when they were apparently crystallized. This show has some down right shocking and incredible cliffhangers. Who would've thought Aeryn would die in that manner at the end of S2 and that Crichton/Scorpy was the cause of her death. Did anyone end up being right in their speculation about how they would resolve her death in SOD since it was obvious she wouldn't really be killed off the show. The same applies here. As shocking as the ending was in BT, it's obvious that J&A are not dead -- just neutralized for analysis onboard the ship. I gues the big ? is why did the alien neutralize J&A. Were they merely unwanted visitors to that planet?

Err..aah...you may want to post spoilers for this thread. Some folks on FMD still haven't seen season four's ending. :aok: Just a gentle reminder. :D

[JrMissToughChick]

Well the title of the thread is Okay so the final episode that's a spoiler ain't it? Spoiler the pic of Folgers

Looks freeze-dried. LOL.












Well, we can see their pulse pistols amongst the crystals. The crystals could be their clothes and the diamond is amongst those because it couldn't be transported. Seems to be a convention of sci-fi. This principal was used in the Terminator movies where clothes and other inanimate objects couldn't be transported, therefore, rendering the terminators naked when they appeared in our timeline. This can actually be a good thing 'cos that might mean we get to see Crichton naked as the day he was born in the mini. Hehehehe!

I wouldn't be too concerned about edits. All of the ones I've seen in rereuns seem to be intact.

Of course in the Terminator films it wasn't a traditional "transporter" like we are speculating on here. (if what we saw in BT was a transporter at all) It was a time travel machine that could only send living tissue or something wrapped in living tissue through time. Similar premise as what I proposed.

[JrMissToughChick]

Nah they are definatly edited I usaly watch a copy before and then the ep... BTW I wonder if people get what John's doing in My new BT jones avatar :rollin:

As long as the proposel and death(you know what I mean) scene is in tact I'll be fine... most romantic proposal ever just reading the transcript for it particaly curves my craving :lol addict and all ;)

Of course they're not. At the time they shot the episode they were planning to have a full season five. There's no question that when Bad Timing's ending was written (and shot), DK already knew how he would explain what happend and as I said before, I've no doubt it was very imaginative. Now all we can do "patiently" is wait for him to let us in on his "little" secret.

Really? What parts have been removed? I don't watch a lot of them on Sci Fi so I probably wouldn't notice. I usually turn to my DVDs which I know are intact (actully, more than intact!) to watch.

[JrMissToughChick]

BHTB a scene between Nuranti and Rygel, more I know but thats the only one I can recall right now. Why? Because it was one of my favorites... Oh yeah and they edited alot of elevator stuff from WSS2-3... If I remember more I'll PM you

I am way confused. When I looked at SKIFI they said that the episodes were showing thursdays way early am, 3 am to 5 am. I checked Sundays schedule and they don't show it on Sundays anymore.

Does sci fi show differently on each coast? I know some satellite feed is different.

[anotherred]

terribly sorry, I see a post stating that this is a spoiler to some. I am ignorant, what company hasn't shown this yet, in what country?

I didn't mean to ruin it, I am sorry if it did.

BTB, is this fair trade coffee/organic, or what system do they have in other parts of the universe for regulating such things.:rollin:

[jayelsee]

terribly sorry, I see a post stating that this is a spoiler to some. I am of the school of thought that if the TITLE of the thread states that we are discussing a particular episode, you'd be a little dim to read it and NOT to expect some spoilers, for that episode and what came before it. So I don't see that it's necessary that a thread with a title that contains "final episode" contains a "spoiler alert".

what company hasn't shown this yet, in what country?The entire series has been shown in the U.S., it's just that some people haven't seen the whole series yet. That's why spoiler alerts are important if, say, you were discussing "Constellation of Doubt" and referred to something that happened in "Bad Timing." Without the warning, you might be "spoiling" somebody who hasn't yet seen BT. With the "spoiler" warnings, they can skip the "spoiler" parts if they don't want to read them.

I am way confused. When I looked at SKIFI they said that the episodes were showing thursdays way early am, 3 am to 5 am. I checked Sundays schedule and they don't show it on Sundays anymore.The schedule is way confusing (and they are showing it at way inconvenient times!). The 'final episode' (BT) ischeduled for Monday March 15 at 1 a.m. eastern (the schedule says Sunday 3/14 because of the way the sci fi channel lists their programming). It looks like they are starting the series over the next week, when they show "Premier" in the 1 a.m. time slot.

They are also showing episodes at 1, 2, and 3 a.m. eastern on Friday mornings (although the schedule says Thursday nights). They are currently showing episodes from S2 in that timeslot, though not necessarily in order.

And there is a daytime "marathon" of episodes from S3 (7-11) on Friday March 12 (11 a.m.-4 p.m. eastern).

Here's the current schedule listing from the sci-fi channel (U.S.): http://scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3. Just keep in mind that they list their early morning programs as if they were showing on the NIGHT before (thus early Friday morning showings are listed under the Thursday night scheudule!).

Sheesh! Who can follow that so-called schedule. :mad: But it's good to know BT will air again on March 16. I haven't seen it since it first aired. Living on the west coast and having DishNetwork allows me to see it at 11:00 p.m. as opposed to 1 a.m. Eastern. I guess SciFi doesn't care about this show, but you'd think they'd air the marathon on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon where people are likely to see it. :rolleyes:

[jayelsee]

The 'final episode' (BT) ischeduled for Monday March 16 at 1 a.m. eastern And I hope I didn't confuse an already confusing situation, but Monday is actually March 15 (not March 16 as I stated in my original post).

However, Bad Timing IS indeed scheduled to air on the east coast in the wee hours (1 a.m.) of MONDAY, March 15......or, if you go by the sci fi channel's listings, the (very late?) night of Sunday, March 14.

P.S. I actually went back and edited my original post, so the BT dates are correct, now. Are we confused enough yet?:rollin:

[Selena]

So does that mean they're both :shocked: naked??? Seems to me that their clothing is still in the boat. So are Winnona and Aeryn's weapon.
Oh the dread for the alien who reconstitutes them ... John hates to be without Winnona!

Yep, naked as the day they born. :D

I think both of them will be more pissed about not having their weapons than the fact that they're not wearing any clothes. But that's just me. LOL. Wasn't it Chiana who said Aeryn doesn't even take a shower without her weapon. :rollin:
