Farscape Frelling Cancelled

Mukaikubo writes "The Sci-Fi Channel has decided to cancel their second largest show, Farscape. Because networks respond better to phone calls and snail-mail letters than a mass e-mail campaign and there is contact info on a fan-run Message Board. Time is of the essence, as the Network wants to tear down props at the end of next week. Help save one of the best science fiction shows on TV today!"

    Because it sucked, someone would get killed and then a couple of weeks later they would be brought back to life.

    I would say yes save the show. However, I dont' like that show. It's too much like Star Trek, which I hate. I mean, I'm a geek just like the rest of you, but this is one area of geekdom I just don't get. When I watch Star Trek I just can't help but feel I'm watching an afternoon soap opera, except everyone is wearing an alien costume or a space ship uniform. Changing the setting doesn't make a show any better. I don't watch scifi channel anymore anyway. Wait... I don't watch TV anymore really. Go ahead and cancel all the shows you want.

    Why? Because it sucked really bad. It REALLY SUCKED! I stopped watch sometime in the second season.
    I think they are going to promote Stargate SG-1. I can't wait for January when the next season begins. I also can't wait till thwey start play the original series from the beginning. From the website, "Starting Sept. 30, missions codenamed SEASONS ONE through FIVE will be available for review every Monday from 7-11PM ET/PT on SCI FI". Plus, 2 episodes from series 6 every friday night. I liked series six--even with the death of Daniel.
    I can't wait!!!! I think I need to stock up on the VHS tapes--time to make a run to the local AMES which is going out of buiseness!
