Farscape Returns Sunday
jagilbertvt writes "I know a lot of Slashdot readers are Farscape fans, so here's some more fantastic news... Farscape returns Sunday October 17th at 9pm ET with the first of two episodes of Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars. WatchFarscape.com has more coverage of Farscape's return. A trailer is available at Apple's Movie Trailer site."
Unlike Farscape, Babylon5 wasn't canceled. JMS planned for 5 seasons, and although it was rough at times, he got all of them. Everything was wrapped up; the show is done.
I do think there is a movie in the works, but they had better hurry up. The actors keep dying.
(yes, I love both B5 and Farscape... but probably B5 more)
The Second episode is going to be aired on the Monday - i.e. the day after - and not in the same slot the following Sunday.

I don't know whether that's how it was shot or not, but it's being aired as two double length episodes of about 90 minutes each instead of four regular episodes.
UNIX? They're not even circumcised! Savages!
She became blind in the last episode of S4 - 'Bad Timing'. The crew said the first thing they'd do was to visit a Surgeon. They probably do that in the mini.
From Brian Henson's statements here:
"Our intention is that new audiences should be able to follow this, but they will have to concentrate hard."
He also says that the miniseries will "bring Farscape to a place in the big story where we could now go in lots of different directions. We could make a movie, we could make a spin-off series, and I hope to do all of those things."
This all depends on the success of the miniseries though, so even if you're new, even if you're a Trekkie, you should still tune in. Give SciFi a reason to stop making the sub-B garbage they're constantly spewing out and stick with what works.

My guess is that she's blind, or had to have new eyes put in. Watch the last episode of Farscape.
From SciFi UK's website, it doesn't look like they'll be playing the Farscape miniseries. Another brilliant move on their part. They obviously needed the money to finish up their next masterpiece, Avalanche: Nature Unleashed In the Form of a Steaming Pile of Shit.
Firefly is going to be a motion picture now. Called "Serenity" with possible sequels depending on how well it does.
I would reccomend that anyone else do the same and send little postcards made from KFC buckets to the following addresses:
If your a vegitarian... get potatos. It's time to get off our ez chairs and do something about this flood of reality TV and make it clear to the sponcers what we want them to support.
There is no sanctuary. There is no sanctuary. SHUT UP! There is no shut up. There is no shut up.
How far in advance do I draw my strips?
Not very, unfortunately. I tend to procrastinate more than I should, so I often turn my strips in to my syndicate roughly two weeks before they run in newspapers. My syndicate would prefer it if I had a lead time of four to six weeks. Because color must be added, my Sunday strips get turned in six or seven weeks in advance.

One preview I read that had access to a few select scenes (shown at a geek convention, maybe) showed some clips, one of which is John and Aeryn apparently just having been re-assembled. First thing John asks D'Argo is "How long were we out?" You can also find still frames that show the same weird aliens whose faces come apart.
There's nothing particularly significant about the supposed "death" at the end of the 4th season; they killed Aeryn in season 2 too, remember? (Of course, they killed off other main characters who didn't come back, which is part of what makes the series cool, but the season ender was meant to be a cliffhanger.)
Look here, no torrent but better quality ;-)
KFC has released a new Farscape screensaver here
Even if you don't plan on using the screensave, please fill out the form (bogus info if you want) and download it. Increase their download count so they know people are interested in the show. They've already contacted the likes of UPN to say that they would advertise on the network if they picked up Farscape.
So, show them you care, even if you don't. The more money that goes to Farscape, the less that goes to SciFi's sub-B "Original" movies.
