Farscape

[Cyrusbales]

Well, who else here watched and loved farscape?? fav episodes anyone?

 

[JLBats]

Haven't seen much of it, but it is pretty brilliant.

 

[SouLeSS]

Greatest show on TV, next to SciFi's The Invisible Man.

Both got canned though. Hard.

 

[TrailerCues]

Farscape Fans should check out SG-1s 200th Episode on Friday. That Show gets a nice little nod

Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, and Stargate SG-1 are the best things Sci-Fi channel has produced.
I think it's hilarious that Ben Browder and Claudia Black are on Stargate and there was no "Do I know you from somewhere?" joke.

 

[SouLeSS]

Actually, SG-1 was originaly on HBO =(

 

[FieldingMellish]

Showtime.

 

[Speedball]

Showtime.

Yeah it was showtime, But Sci-fi produces it NOW, and has for quite some time.

 

[Speedball]

Back to Farscape.
Does anyone else think Chiana is the sexiest alien on TV ever?

 

[Sugarculted]

I was a bit disappointed with the movie, that gave us the proper ending :/

d'argo was ma fave. it is d'argo...right? it's been ages since i seen this show.


i personally preferred the blue alien, not the bold one...she was pretty nice.

 

[Superfreak]

The one about the crackers. That was my all time fav epi. "I look like an idiot don't I?" (as the camera zooms out, and he looks like a puke covered garage sale crusade knight on crack cocaine)

 

[tzarinna]

I've watched it a few times. I haven't given it my full attention
No cable so I'm watching syndicated shows

 

[Pink Ranger]

Best SF show in television history. BSG is an honorable second.

Farscape is my favorite sci fi show ever. I recently watched all four seasons again and it stands the test of time very well. Plus, unlike most sci fi shows, when you watch the seasons and The Peacekeeper Wars, it feels like a full, cohesive story with a beginning (Crichton growing accustomed to life among aliens), middle (Crichton fighting to protect Earth from the evil aliens), and end (Crichton forging a new life and family for himself among the aliens and finally saying goodbye to Earth altogether). Not as technically impressive as Battlestar Galactica or as enduring as Stargate, but it took elements from all over the sci fi landscape and put them all together to make something outstanding. Best sci fi show ever.

Scroll down to the third item:

Here is an intriguing bit of news for all the Farscape fans out there. It looks like the Jim Henson Company is looking to work a new Farscape project.

When it originally aired, Farscape was the Sci-Fi Channel's highest rated original program. After its third season, Farscape was renewed simultaneously for a fourth and fifth season. However SciFi later announced that there would be no season five - even though the last episode of season four had ended with a cliffhanger. Fans mobilized to create a "Save Farscape" campaign which was larger than any previous movement to reverse a television series. The fan effort proved victorious when Henson produced the four-hour miniseries "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars", The Peace Keeper Wars squeezed the plotlines of what was to be the fifth season into the miniseries. The miniseries concluded in a way that left the door open for a future Farscape productions but also provided satisfying closure if it ended up being the ultimate end of Farscape.

In the past Henson has kicked around and talked about the possibility and ideas for a movie, another mini-series or TV-movie, a direct-to-DVD project, an animated show, or even a spin-off series. However, until now nothing has ever been put into production or moved far into development. While Henson has been brainstorming ideas for Farscape's continuation, fans have been waiting for news of what's coming, if anything at all.

At a panel discussion on the "Mirrormask DVD" held last Friday at Wonder-Con, Michael R. Polis (of the Jim Henson Company) and Rob Valoy (of Tokyo Pop) took to the stage and talked to the audience. Some old news was mentioned: coming this fall is a set of three 160-paged "Labyrinth" graphic novels; an animated "Dark Crystal" series is in the work; Henson is working on a "Dark Crystal" sequel; blah, blah, blah. But an interesting bit of information came out when they made some indistinctive mention to a new "Farscape" project that the Henson Company is currently working on.

There have been lots of rumors and ideas kicked around by Henson in the past, but it sounds like they are finally moving on and doing something with the series. I contacted some people at Henson, and they have yet to respond with any substantial information to back-up or elaborate on these reports (but they have not denied anything). It is likely that they are seriously considering and working on a project with the Farscape brand, however at this point we just don't know what it is (but I'm still digging and searching, and I'll keep you posted).

Sales of Farscape on DVD have been so successful that ADV is on its second run of Farscape DVDs, releasing its "Starburst Editions". These sets hold about seven episode on two discs loaded with extras (both old and new). The latest release, "Season Three, Part Two" was released today, February 14.) I'll keep you updated as soon as I hear more on the future of Farscape.

No it is not ending. It just will not air on Sci-Fi

 

[Speedball]

No it is not ending. It just will not air on Sci-Fi

Oh ok, so it's gonna be in syndication, like Xena and Andromeda were.
I actually like Ben Browder and Claudia Black in the cast. Ben seems like your everyday guy, and Claudia is just plain hilarious and fun to watch.

 

[deathshead2]

Well its better to have no stargate at all then haveing more bad season with them.

I was wrong, it's not ending. It's just not going to be on Sci-Fi anymore.

 

[deathshead2]

Wheres it going then and why would they let a show go like that?

 

[TrailerCues]

Oh ok, so it's gonna be in syndication, like Xena and Andromeda were

Like the Second article said

It can go to a new network
Become a mini series & come back once in a while
Or just simply end as a big full length theater Movie the way it started on the big screen
Or there can still be a Theater Movie & come back as a Series

 

[TrailerCues]

why would they let a show go like that?

No one knows wheres it going yet & Sci Fi = just idiots

 

[Speedball]

I always thought Cartoon Network were bigger idiots
