Looking For A Way Home
Interesting, but futile. Nothing fans did convinced TNT to bring back Crusade, it’s highest rated show at the time, so why do they think their actions will sway The Scifi Channel, who actually has legitimate reasons for canceling Farscape? The show’s expensive – they build new sets, create new muppets and other animatronic creatures for nearly every episode. Factor in the computer effects and the show’s waning popularity,* and Scifi just doesn’t have enough funding to keep the show alive, despite how “award winning” it may be. Then again, if this somehow works, and Farscape continues its run, in any form, on any network, I’ll be the first one to admit my error in judgment.
*After canceling both Lexx and The Invisible Man (I love the latter and hate the former (sorry, forgot you don’t care)), a large group of fans began to actively boycott the network, Farscape included. So really, the show’s fate is the fault of the fans themselves, and their attempts to revive other dead programs. Or it’s the fault of the evil corporation. It all depends on which over-powered entity you see as eviler; the money-conscious marketing machine or the mindless devotees forced to succumb to its will. You’re right, it’s all Scifi’s fault.
