Still Hope for Farscape

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-not-a-lot-of-it dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to say that the "Save Farscape" campaign thinks there is still hope. If the next 11 episodes (starting Friday, January 10 on the SciFi Channel) pull the right numbers ). According to this interview with David Kemper:"If we were to do 2s, straight across the boards for these eleven eps, I would be expecting to have phone conversations with people immediately..." Of course that is pretty unlikely- but my household won't miss an episode. To bad the cats don't count in the nielsons ;)

    Unless you have a box, you count for about as much as your cats.

    Why are people so fucking gung-ho about saving a TV show, yet wouldn't lift a finger to help another human being?

    Because nearly all other human beings suck.

    Next question?

    So they're hoping and praying for Farscape to pull in a 2 rating? Astounding. Firefly consistently drew around a 2.4, and yet Fux dropped it faster than... a... um... fast dropping thing.

    Sorry. I'm having a figurative language problem today. I can do personification and synecdoche, but I can't pull off metaphor or simile. It's like....

    I've heard of this other show that was brought back because of fan reaction and lobbying.

    Some Sci-Fi show from the 60s.

    Ordinarily, studios just don't listen to audiences, as counter intuitive as that seems, especially today, when most studios are just arms of a gigantic multi-national corporation (that's controlled by the Gnomes of Zurich with help from the girl scouts and the orbital mind control lasers)
