Sci Fi Confirms Forthcoming Farscape Miniseries

Albinus writes "The Sci Fi Channel has decided to continue the Farscape series in the form of a miniseries, according to a short article on SciFi.com. Apparently, 'The four-hour miniseries picks up where the cliffhanger series finale left off and will reunite John Crichton (Ben Browder), Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) and the rest of the Moya crew.' Hopefully this will generate a renewed interest in the show and bring it back permanently." We reported on earlier rumors to this effect late last year.

but I thought it said ministries. finally would've been a religion I could relate to.

What is this Farscape?

I need something like a Nearscape, as my eyesight is not what it was when I was still a young man, gadding about in my salad days.

Nothing permanent about TV

...bring it back permanently.

Nothing is permanent in TV, except, perhaps, the commercials.

The first millenium or the second one??

Since we just started the third, I assume you don't mean that one...

(sorry ... couldn't resist...)

From IMBD.com's memorable quotes file:

Wash: Psychic? Sounds like something out of science fiction.
Zoe: We live on a spaceship, dear.
Wash: So?

I look forward to the miniseries eagerly and I must admit I wonder how they'll write themselves out of the series finale where Crighton and Sun were literally vaporized.

I thought the fellow who shot them said something about them being 'condensed' or some such. There were the two piles of dust (and the engagement ring) left were they stood. I figure you just add water and shake. And what luck! They were in a boat on a lake.

I'm eager to see the series return too, but if it does, then that means I'll have to start watching TV again.

well, there was star trek. :)

or was that a really REALLY long "convulsion"?

Unless he was counting Dargo as the hunk. But then, I'm not into tentacle pr0n.

No no, this is farscape, not star trek.

They are taken to miracle max because they were only mostly dead, and of course true love.......

Re:What is farscape's appeal?

[Rumagent]

Don't forget that farscape could be pretty hilarious too.

I know I will never forget the bodyswitching episode. Sun and John have switched bodies. At one point John, now in Sun's (on a personal note: very nice) body is working alone and looks down - at this point any and all men knows what is about to happen. Anyways he looks around, opens his shirt and gets a nice fondle and sighs *ohh mama* . About two seconds later he is caught by Sun (in John's body). His excuse: "Come on, they are there!" .

Yeah, best show ever:)

Actually, pardon the pun, Firefly is a bit more down to earth than that. It takes place in one system and it takes them weeks to get between planets or moons of gas giants. No aliens, no FTL, no lasers('cept in those 2 episodes), the only thing unreasonable seems to be artificial gravity, but we'll let that one go...
