hmm...maybe because if Farscape is fan funded, it would be the first television program that takes the television networks out of the equation and it can be shown on any channel, even without commerical breaks. PBS has an organization that asks people for a "subscription" each year to help pay for all of its shows. The viewers have almost no voice on what is shown at their local PBS station, while the fan funded show would be for just one show, not an entire network.
Did you see the last 11 episodes of Season 4. If not, and you saw the first 11, I know what you mean. I can be absolutely sure about this, but the first 11 episodes were forced by Sci-Fi's pressure for the show to have more self-contained episodes. I personally think that that was a huge mistake on their part.
I am one of those fans that REALLY likes the show, but my reasons I like the show might be completely different from someone else.
Ok. Let's ignore the first half of Season 4 and special effects on the show for a moment and talk about the acting and writing of the rest of the series. We are left with a series that dealt with love, relationships, and human society looking from an alien's point of view. It gave an insight on ourselves and how we live our lives and how environment can affect our behavior over time.
The John Crichton in Season 4 is much more emotionally disconnected than the curious naive John Crichton that stepped through the wormhole in Season 1. D'Argo in the past 4 seasons has been through hell as well and over time has dealt with his false inprisonment and his hyperage to become one of the less aggressive characters in Season 4.
That is why I watch Farscape.
