UNrealized Reality: Best ending of any episode?

[dzynz]

The episode as whole was never much more than intrigueing, but the ending, honestly, makes you laugh at the irony and want to cry for Crichton for coming so close to his goal only to be stuck floating above Earth.
It only gets better when he discovers its the past, I think Kansas's ending is among one of the better endings as well.

I agree totally when I saw UR I thought it was the last episode (it wasn't as it turned out) it was great in it's irony... I also love Kansas' ending with John on earth holding a gun to his fathers head.

This is a tough one. There are great endings to so many in season 4. Kansas & Unrealized Reality are certainly up there. Terra Firma's is one that gets talked about a lot on this and other boards.

For me, sentimental shipper I am, it's the end of We're So Screwed: Fetal Attraction that gets me every time. Aeryn's fear for the baby, beautifully portrayed by Claudia Black, and John's tender reassurance. This scene is so beautifully done, it's hard to believe these two people are not together in real life.

Then, off we go into an F.W. Murnau nightmare. Just where you knew we had to go. There's no way our heroes could get away that clean. Wayne Pygram deserves all the credit for this scene. His Nosferatu is priceless stuff! Then Aeryn, comforting John as he wakes from the ghoulish
dream. Absolutely, the best!

One ending that always got to me emotionally was We Won't Get Fooled Again. The way that ep conveyed how much power Scorpy clone had over John was, I think, a really effective way of setting up the tension that would carry the show the rest of the way. I also think it was the first ep in which Scorpy really came into his own as a villian, in my opinion cementing him as the greatest villian ever.

there was also the great inside joke of having scorpy on drums (he plays drums in a band with anthony simcoe)

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR TALG & DMD

My favorite ending of any ep is actually the ending of "Through a Looking Glass." I think it's the happiest ending a FS ep ever had. They are sitting there laughing, eating sharing jokes, toasting Moya's baby. It's such a rare and lovely sight.

On the other end of the spectrum, I think ending of DMD is pure brilliance. Aeryn dead, Scorpy has exactly what he wants, Crichton left lying on the operating table with no physician and not even being able to scream. It doesn't get more cliffhangery than that.

Some episodes have great shippy endings (like Twice Shy, We're So Screwed: Fetel Attraction, and LATP), but I agree that Won't Get Fooled is a great ending because it is not a usual ending. Spoiler:












John kills the Scarran and then just leaves. We don't see him go to Moya and explain what happened. We don't see the crew worry about him. It is never spoken of. Very different.

I must say that the ending to unrealized reality had me going bananas, but I can never forget the ending to a season 1 episode in which you see dargo lifeless in space and the little memento of luck john had given him slips from his hand, I damn near teared up, I realy thought dargo had died, sorry if I can't remember the name, I still haven't gotten all of season 1 dvd sets, I have the complete 2, 3 and 4.1 to 4.3
(If I am mixing up seasons please let me know)

My favorite ending is also my favorite scene from Farscape. The end tag of LATP: 3. WOW!!!! I could hardly breathe watching Claudia & Ben's performance of Aeryn taking the biggest leap of faith in the whole series. The way they lock eyes with eachother trying to read one another. And Aeryn's smile at the end before she walks away. . . PURE GOLD. . .

[Ouroboros]

That scene from UR could have ended the series....... in a horribly cruel yet darkly hilarious way.

As far as good endings go I also like the speach in La Bomba.

[dzynz]

I never thought of that, it would have been a fiendish ending. Sorta Voltair in space.
I think its fair to say that farscape should not have a necessarily happy ending. Tragedy is in its blood. Maybe the protag isnt wrenched with the existential angst that would warrant his death in a literary sense. But most shows try so hard to make the end happy and warm, and sometimes I think it is important for that not to be the case. To tie this all in with another post I made a while ago. If farscape did end with the death of John, it would make a spinoff with Scorpius a natural follow up, as we have seen an almost handing off of heroic responsibility to him in season 4. Well maybe not handing off, but development. He is an anti-hero and that works. Frell I'm off topic.

My favourite ending (or near ending) would be when they destroy the Command Carrier in season 3 where John and Scorpy face each other across a miniature chasm, and Scorpy turns around and walks off to what you think is his death... the music for that whole sequence was fantastic and I'd buy a soundtrack just for this.

[Ouroboros]

I know that moment was the peak of the entire show right there. I would also buy a soundtrack just to get those two songs as full version. You can get short previews clips of them off Kazaa now since the sci-fi website used to have them up for free downloads and they got spread from there.

La Crimosa and Salve Me is what you want to look for.
