Farscape Returns?!

Cujo · 11-12-2003, 03:40 PM

I got this from Dark Horizons today:

Farscape (TV): The cancelled but highly acclaimed Sci-Fi Channel series which had its plug pulled earlier this year may be making a comeback. Last week an insider sent along this rumour: "Farscape is back in production - the series is to be wrapped up in 4-6 new episodes with the usual crew, cast and producers. The props and sets are being dusted off and are being assembled in preparation for filming in Sydney. The new mini-season will complete the story arc and bring closure". An interesting story and a solid source but still it sounded almost like wishful thinking and as there still hasn't been any official announcement about it I held off. After all, you would've thought Sci-Fi would have shouted it from the rooftops that its coming back to appease the ravenous fans of the show (incl. me). Then some people I know connected with the show started mentioning it's coming back and its confirmed that the Sydney production office is open again. I placed three separate calls to them on Tuesday to confirm/deny the rumours and all three calls were not only summarily cut off at their end but the secretary hurled nasty insults (courtesy is a dying art) - I've never had problems with these guys before so best guess would be they've been advised not to speak to press at all (which would explain the lack of coverage locally). That would also explain that when I got in contact with a US publicity rep for Sci-Fi, they said they couldn't comment on it at this time but will be releasing details when they're available soon. Something IS stirring, I guess we'll have to wait to find out what exactly.

All I can say is "Hell Ya!"

Cool.

But it's not "Firefly"... :*(

I'd rather Farscape over Firefly personally.

Oh well.

Cujo · 11-14-2003, 08:17 PM

I WANT BOTH DAMMIT!

Is that too much to ask? Oh well, we might be getting a Firefly movie so... I can settle with that. Plus the DVD's should be out soon.

Less than a month until Buffy S5 and Firefly on DVD.

I wish Angel S3 was coming sooner. It's now the only season I haven't seen in its entirety. I've seen a grand total of TWO episodes from that season. I don't want to wait until February, damn it, and I really don't want to watch crappy full-screen versions on TNT. Watching the S4 reruns in full-screen is practically painful.
