After Petition, Farscape Miniseries Trailer Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-all-aliens-are-aussies dept.

Myrmi writes "The four-hour Farscape miniseries will be aired on the Sci-Fi Channel starting October 17th. The trailer for the miniseries is to be hosted at Apple Trailers and starting today at 3PM EST." Here's the trailer page. As eve11 writes, "Apple.com agreed to host the trailer after a write-in campaign from Farscape fans. Until today this trailer had only been shown during the July 24th Farscape panel at Comicon in San Diego. More info here."

    Sci-Fi says despite thousands of people wanting to see the trailer, they're going to have to cancel it.

    I thought petitioning was a way to raise the hope for people by making them feel like they actually were doing something to help, I'd never think they'd make a difference. Well, it's always nice to hear about a succeeded one :)

    Apple.com agreed to host the trailer after a write-in campaign from Farscape fans.

    I RTFA'd, but I don't see the direct link implied in the summary. Event A (write-in campaign) happened before Event B (trailer is available), but I don't see any evidence that Event A caused Event B.

    But then, it's nice to feel like you have a voice. They held elections in the old USSR... or should that be, "In Soviet Russia, Elections hold YOU!" ?

    Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.

    All I need now is for Farscape and Firefly to come back in full-time series, and TV would be good again.

    Of course, nothing will ever fill the hole that 'Suddenly Susan' has left in my heart.

    Well, the narration that opens the trailer seems to suggest they're going to do a "The story thus far" segment. I'm pretty sure that if they want to attract viewership, they'll do something of that nature.

    I don't doubt that there will be more rewards for those who have watched the entire series than those who haven't, but they'd be stupid not to try to reach out to new audiences. This is, after all, the last chance they have to build a bigger audience and show they're worthy of being brought back for another year.

    Either way, if you'd like to catch up on everything that's ever happened in the series so you'll have a better idea what's going on in the movie, there's always the Farscape Primer.
