Farscape to Return? Is Sci-Fi Channel Redeemed?
Cyno01 writes "I was just watching Firefly and switching to Taken during commercials (i'm a thief i know), and I caught a commercial for Sci-Fi 2003. It looks like there's going to be a few new actual sci-fi shows, and some not. Tremors: The Series, Children of Dune and another talkshow-esq looking thing called The Dream Team with Annabelle and Michael. Also it looks like Stargate: SG1 and yes, Farscape, are still alive and kicking."
People still watch Television?
I thought that went out of style after they cancelled ST:TNG?
Nooo lord please no.... I am puring kerosene in my eyes now.
Putp
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Now I can watch MUPPETS IN SPACE! again!
Major lighting problems (too dark to see anything), presense obligatory Klingon ripoff alien, angry shouting in place of subtle dialog.
Won't miss it when it vanishes again. The turtle/mushroom muppets are kind of cool though.
If the preview for the truly awful-looking Dream Team is any indication, the show is going to go something like this:
Dreamer: OK, so I had this dream last night..
Host A: Repressed lesbian fantasies!
Dreamer: No, wait, there wasn't even a girl in the dream!
Host B: Repressed lesbian fantasies!
Dreamer: I'm not even a woman!
Host A: Repressed lesbian fantasies!
Watch -- the Slashdot groupthink will moderate me down into oblivion.
Because you're the only person here able to form an independent decision right? If anyone disagrees with you it's not because different people value different aspects of story, or even God forbid that opinions other than yours might have been arrived at from a valid position. No, anyone disagreeing with you is obviously simply a mental incompetent. Must be a very comfortable view of the world.
Everything will be taken away from you.
So we lose Farscape and get Tremors: The Series. I think I am going to go clean my brain with some Hydra-Shok.
In Star Trek, everyone is looking out for Number One as well.
Slight difference, however, between the two series.
The last two or three episodes have become interesting.
Interesting? Is that the best you can do? Did you even watch "War Stories?"
Zoe: Hold it, Jayne. This is something the captain's gotta do for himself.
Mal: (fighting, muffled) No, it's not!
Zoe: Oh. (everybody opens fire)

Yes, everyone should be passive about changing the things they care about. Let it go. We're helpless. Drifting down the stream called life.
/. -- a real time-saver.
Hmm, that would eliminate half the posts on
Really, the model here is the rescue of Star Trek for one more season, 30+ years ago. If no one says anything SciFi will only be sure that their judgment as to its declining popularity was correct (see the FAQ). I think the fan reaction is admirable in an age where people people complain about their TV shows, and politicians, and so on, without ever doing anything about it.
Now, if you don't like the dissensiom, "Move on." -- there are other stories to read.
First off, his name is John Edward. There is no "S" in Edward. Lastly, you didn't finish it... you should have said he is a big douche. Yet, that would still be incorrect. As we all know from South Park, John Edward is the biggest douche in the universe. Also, if he really believes that dead people talk to him, then he's a stupid douche.
