Farscape Finale Tonight

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the set-tivos-on-stun dept.

Sim9 writes "Just a reminder that Farscape, the critically acclaimed sci-fi television show, is having its *series* finale Friday night! Showing times are 8PM and 12AM ET/PT (7PM and 11PM Central) on SciFi Channel. Catch this great show one last time before it's gone!" Thanks to everyone involved in producing this show. One of my favorites. All I have left on Sci Fi now is SG1.

    That they'd rather put up money for shows like Tremors: The Series instead of Farscape. I mean.. it's Tremors for crying out loud!

  2. Tremors might be good by LordNimon · · Score: 4, Insightful
    You should at least give the show Tremors a chance. It could suck, or it could be okay, or you might even think it's great, but you'll never know if you don't watch a few episodes of it.

    Remember, a TV series is not like a movie. A series lives and dies as much with the characters and the writing as it does with the plot and overall concept. You may think the idea is silly, or even stupid, but that doesn't necessarily mean the show as a whole isn't worth watching. Anyone cynical enough can take the plot to any movie or series, twist it around, and make it sound like crap.

  3. SciFi channel is dead to me now. by DdJ · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Their behavior is incomprehensible. They kill Farscape, and pick up Tracker. Tracker? Tracker?

    I really wanted to like a show staring both Adrian Paul and Geraint Wyn Davies. But damn, Wyn Davies hasn't been in anything this bad since Bionic Showdown .

    And then, what's this John Edwards and "The Dream Team" crap? What does that have to do with SciFi? Just what is their mission statement? To make the world think that SciFi fans are drooling morons with no taste and no ability to separate fact from fiction?

    It's somewhat hilarious that TNN has better SciFi than the SciFi channel these days. My TV used to be programmed to skip over TNN, back when it was "The Nashville Network". Now it looks like it's trading places with SciFi. I guess there's a "law of conversation of preprogrammed channels" or something.

  4. Here's the real kicker (yes, your blood WILL boil) by Windcatcher · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sci-Fi flashed this on the screen at the end. Bear in mind, they CANCELLED the show on the final day of shooting the season finale:

    "The SciFi Channel thanks the cast and crew of Farscape for four great years."

    Bastards. Sci-Fi, you are truly dead to me.
