Season of Death was aptly named. The characters and plots led us through weeks of emotional highs and lows, and finished with a tremendous mix of anticipation, amazement and wonder.

Humour was present throughout, but darkness lingered everywhere, generating a wonderful feeling of dread and excitement. It is rare to have so many key characters die, and so splendidly. There was no shortage of excellent 'baddies' and they were not stereotypical.

At times the season may have lacked aspects of personal choice, but the writers never failed to entertain, showing their skill and foresight, drawing you back to other times and other places and knitting the wonderful garment together.

Over the season we have seen both Scorpius and Harvey slowly evolve.

With the passing of each Moya-episode, we saw Scorpius� passions and hates emerge, especially in Incubator where he showed the Crichton-chip why he so badly wants the Wormhole technology.

Many think he is evil, but ruthless describes him better. He will overcome anything simply to get his revenge on the Scarrans. If Scorpius hadn't been so ruthless in his first appearance, Nerve, Crichton and he could have become allies at least. Scorpius has one of the best minds in Farscape. His presence is often in the most gripping and nail-biting episodes.

Harvey has evolved slowly, through having to adjust to John's mind. Over season three we have seen a growing friendship between him and John, with Harvey helping John to survive, and John playing chess, draughts and Go Fish with him.

Harvey's and John's companionship will steadily grow further, I believe, as Harvey will always be there, even as Crichton's friends are not.

An excellent start and finish to the season, but some of the episodes in between were crap. Farscape writers should concentrate less on being wacky and different (which Farscape succeeds in without problems anyway), and more on writing quality scripts.

I'm not sure how near September 11 the penultimate episode was filmed (Crais' Suicide), but it definitely brought the message home without necessarily condoning the Al Qaeda attacks.

After the traumatic end to season two, Farscape has continued to maim our expectations of where the plot will take us. This is the only series prepared to shoot us in the foot by smiting its most important feature - the characters. For example Crais, Season Ones' source of evil, sacrifices himself to save those he once hunted.

Take this as a warning: Season four will hurt, they will make our heroes suffer terribly. This whole series will end in pain for those we have followed so closely for so long. Don't watch the next series and spare yourself this pain. Remember though, you will miss the sweetest and most exhilarating emotional rollercoaster that TV has offered in far too long.

Farscape season three has by far surpassed the expectations engendered by the first two.

It has been a season that not only built upon the mythos of the first 44 episodes, but took it further than any other programme could, or would have dared to.

This is not the cosy universe of Star Trek. Death is an integral part of Farscape. The effects of Zhaan and Crais' demise were felt not only by the audience, but by Moya's crew.

The beauty of the show is that you never know what is going to happen, and just when you think you've worked out all the subplots of the season you're left dangling, just like Crichton, jaw dropping at what you've just seen happen.

I tend to love the comedy moments in sci-fi series the best.

I was in hysterics when, after the drunken night of partying in Scratch �n� Sniff, Crichton woke up wearing tights in a window and let out a high pitched scream. Then it kept flashing back to that bit - hee hee! The best comedy moment of the series.

Later, I thought at first Revenging Angel was to be a serious episode but then Dargo appeared with a Ozme jet pack. I loved the Looney Toons bits.
