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.

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.

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.

or was that a really REALLY long "convulsion"?
