Farscape (Kinda) Returns

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-the-frell dept.

westlake writes "In a weekend press tour, Sci Fi announced that Farscape would be resurrected on-line in ten short webisodes to be produced by the Jim Henson Company. There are hints that Ben Browder and Claudia Black will both be both "available." Browder has another project to keep him occupied, at least part of the time: Sci Fi also announced that it had picked up Going Homer, a miniseries he developed with "Farscape" director Andrew Prowse. Greek and Roman deities walk among us, but only 12 year old Homer Ulysses Jones can see them for what they truly are. When Homer and his father are forced to flee a custody battle that would likely separate them, they journey from Los Angeles to the home of their ancestors — in Ithaca, N.Y."

    Am I alone in saying bring back Firefly

    Unfortunately not. There are at least three people who post about Firefly on every fucking Slashdot story vaguely related to science fiction.

    Please. The show was a failure. The movie was a box-office disaster. It was a failed experiment at producing something only rednecks who like scifi would enjoy. It's time to give it a rest.

    I love SG-1, but you have to admit that they had excercised all possible story outlets and even made some not so great ones up. While the Ori story arc was interesting, it was really just a rehash of the Go'uld (sp?) story arc. Atlantis is in danger of falling into the same trap and just reimplementing SG-1. The end of the last Atlantis season indicated a possibility of a new direction. So I am hopeful for the future of the Stargate universe.
