I have mixed feelings on this one.
On the one hand, Farscape was one of the best, most original SF shows (at its height - there were some clunkers, and it tapered toward the end) ever aired. The universe has plenty of spin-off and sequel potential. And seeing what the Henson company could do now would be spectacular, given what they gave us 20 years ago.
On the other... 20 years ago, all this was true. Even with the same cast, even with the same crew, I'm not sure that lightning can be captured in the bottle again. And they did do a decent (if rushed) wrap job in their 2-hour finale. Is there a need to revisit? (And if they're thinking reboot... no.)
(At least they're talking Amazon Prime, not SyFy. Backstab me once, shame on you...)
