And when you consider the challenge of boiling down 22 hours into 4 I think they did a damn fine job. Of course many of those 22 hours would have been one-shot stories unrelated to the major story arc... bur certainly the major story told in the mini would have been told over the course of 6, 8, or even 10 episodes. And all the sideline stories addressed in the mini would have comprised the majority of the rest of a season. So, Yes. The mini was rushed, truncated, and less than what any of us would have wanted. But it was also a tremendous feat of television that we can all be proud is the final chapter in our favorite series.
But do u think they will listen to us, they did the first time do u think now.

This brings up another point, did we/will we ever find out who the UK investors were?
I for one would like to thank them, however I suppose that they will get most of their thanks through the sale of PKW DVD's (assuming they were smart enough to do a George Lucas & demand a percentage of all merchandise sales).
The rumour was that the investors heard about Farscape through the fan campaigns, however it would not surprise me if at least one of their number was already a fan.
Perhaps someone who posts on these very forums...

Regarding the season 5 that never was. You are right. The creative team didn't have a detailed 22 episode plan prior to the begining of a season. They have said as much in interviews on the DVD's. But they did have a larger story arc that they would have followed, like they did in Seasons 1-4.

If we can agree on this, can we also agree that the "they tried to cram 22 episodes of story into 4 episodes of time" excuse is hogwash?
