Farscape Fans Reinventing Television

JoeCotellese writes "With the recent cancellation of Farscape, this Salon story discusses the creative ways fans are trying to save the show. Specifically it talks about how grassroots organization through the internet has helped them to the point where they are discussing fan funded production of the show."

this all reminds me of a few years ago, when a show called "brookyln bridge", got cancelled, then everyone started bitching for it to be put back on the air, then they did put it back on the air, then no one watched it again, like before, and it got cancelled, again. the studios and stations know that this is the most likely scenario already, and as such i am sure they are ready to move on to the "next big thing", unfortunately. i watched a few episodes of the show, it is pretty cool, but I am not going to lose sleep over the fact that the show got cancelled. chalk it up to "the man trying to keep you down" or something. meanwhile, you can still watch reruns.

am I the only person on /. that doesn't like farscape?

No.

I know it's got a story arc and all, but I forced myself to watch through about 8 episodes when Sci-Fi was running Farscape and B5 back to back a year or so ago. Although I really loved B5, I couldn't stand the, um, "demented" aspect of Farscape with the creepy fetish-like costumes, torture scenes (in virtually every episode), etc.
