What do you mean "effectively a budget of $0"? you mean that he haven't used any of the money at his disposal?
Just wondering since your post might read as Randi not actually having the money.
In case anyone wonders if he really has the money, he does, you can ask him for evidence, and he will provide it. Now, if you don't accept that evidence once it has been provided, it basically means you don't trust the evidence of the entire money structure in the US and the world at large.

Yes, it is so awfull that children don't have the time to grow up that they had 400 years ago.
I mean back then, girl had a whole 13 years to be kids before they got married off. And boys got to play and have fun untill the age of 11, at most, before they had to help their fathers with the work.
It is so true that nowadays kids have their youth stolen from them.
I mean, sure, back then kids had to work a lot harder from a younger age. and now they have to hold only parttime jobs while they go to school.
Back then kids had to work hard during the summer vacations, in the field, farming. Whereas now they can relax and spend time with friends.
Back then kids pretty much had their entire life planned and settled down by the age of 16, but now they have the choice of what work they want, and they have the time to study for it, and can wait till they are a whooping 25-26(hell, even further) before they settle down.
But yeah, kids these days, having their lifes stolen from them.
I know i would MUCH rather have my 9-14 year old kid work in a coldmine with me, than my 13 year old kid be the CEO of a little company, because, gosh, being a CEO would steal his youth from him. And working in the coalmine would only steal countless years from his life.
And i would MUCH rather have my girl married off, as soon as she hit puperty(11-13), to someone twice or thrice her age(20-30+) instead of getting to decide for herself at any time between the age of 18 and... well, whenever...
Yes, lets go back to how it was, when kids had time to grow up.
i normally use
spam@real.com
or
support@real.com
Especially when i have to install some real software on a comp(if i can't get away without installing it).
Else i just use my own spam hole.
Though this is a rather redundant message i just want to second the prior statement.
Jails in US(and in general all over the world) are overcrowded, and too many gets jail time for doing stupid stuff that doesn't endanger anyone.
And yes, i even feel that the Enron people shouldn't go to jail, What would the use be? A better option would be for the Enron people to give the money to a fund for all the people that got laid off. So they could get money both now(till they get a new job, and for training), and for when they retire. Putting them in jail serves no one. And the same stands for spammers. Spammers are annoying, but they dont hurt anyone. Someone killing another person is a danger, reserve prisons to them. And force the rest to give up alot of money, and(if appliable) go through some program that would make them behave better in the future.
Prison doesn't help people stop doing crime, prison only keep the criminals away from the public. And whats the need of keeping a spammer away from the public. If he learns his lesson(in any appliabel way), he wont hurt anyone again, and jail is just a waste of money and space.
Jails should only be used for people that harm people, not just annoy them. People who wont stop annoying(spamming, stealing money) should also go to jail, since they wont learn to behave. But give them a chance first.
Sorry for the redundancy of this post, and the redundancy in this post. And sorry for the errors(spelling, grammar) i have made, i am rather drunk.
afaik it were cancelled, then due to massive protest it was bought for another season. So fast that it didn't matter for productions. But then again, i may be wrong.
The story for season 5 weren't written yet. So this is no different than the writters writting the first 4 episodes of a season, that tie together this cliffhanger(which they would probably do in the first 2 or 3 anyway).
Again you refer to "new scenes". All the scenes in the mini are new. Nothing in the mini are taken from a season 5, as nothing had been done for season 5.
There are NO "new scenes", unless you say all the footage in the mini are "new scenes", in which case you are right. But if they produces a season 5 instead of a mini, all of it would be "new scenes" aswell.
You are trying to argue that this is some patch work to gather what had already been done for season 5.
Well, NOTHING WERE DONE.
This is exactly as if they had tied together the cliffhanger in the first 4 eps. Which is what they usually do, and then, at the same time, turn the show in a new direction.
Valid point you make there.
For the sake of argument i just said it was fantasy, because imo it leans more towards fantasy than scifi. But it is also scifi. But no to the extend seen in most other scifi shows.
Nope. They had only 3 days of shooting left when the show was canceled. In nov/dec 2003 they rebuild the sets and the puppets. In jan they started filming.
All thats left is the POST.
This is NOT a cut down of other episodes. This is a script written for 4 hours(3 hours final cut). It was written for this, not a cut down of a whole season, or just episodes.
A firefly movies IS being made. as with farscape the fight have been won for more.
Whether it go beyond movie/mini, who knows, nothing can be said till it airs. But firefly IS returning
Hmm, just trying to troll?
The acting in Farscape is the best i have seen since Babylon 5.
My guess would be that the actors made sure to keep the opertunity open. Ben Browder(and i guess other of the actors aswell) have guest stared on other series. Ben Browder did a CSI, or maybe it was CSI Miami, episode.
They can work, and at the same time make sure they can get into farscape.
I also belive one of the actors actually resigned from another role, because of the mini, so the actor must have had in his contract the ability to do so.
ehm, nope. Most people i talk with love farscape.
Farscape is in no way "Sci-Fi for the mainstream" that would be andromeda, stargate and star trek.
Farscape in contrast star trek and andromeda, have a very developed arc, with good story line throughout the series. And though the series may not require much intelligence of the viewer, name one show that does.
Farscape is provocative, its new, its funny, its like nothing else. And its NOT stale.
Farscape isn't scifi, its fantasy.
Star trek is scifi.
Firefly was scifi.
Babylon 5 was scifi.
Farscape shouldn't be mistaken for a scifi show. It is fantasy, have always been, will always be.
Scifi is shows that extrapolate technology in the future. Which farscape have never done. They just thought of some cool stuff you could do, its not based on anything that is plausible. It may be, but thats not the intention.
Its like claiming buffy is a bad scifi show. Or angel.
Set rebuild.
Actors signed contract.
Writers written story.
Lease set time.
Filming.
All done.
Im not sure about POST though. But the rest is done. The mini have already been made, maybe with the exception of POST.
So all there is really left, is somewhere to show it, which scifi will now do.
Arc.
That is, a story line that goes beyond a single episode.
Think of each episode as a chapter in a book, if you have only read one page, or a little chapter, you wont get it. you have to start at the beginning, and work your way through it to get it.

so you are not gonna mod just because he is AC?

In that case, my bad.
But for the general user, it will be backward compatible enough.
Well, ehm, your post is just wrong on so many levels.
IPV/6 is backwards compatible.
IPV/4 is NOT forward compatible.
Your entire argument can be summed up like this
".. so that the Playstation I console is automatically capable of playing Playstation II games?"
Computers with IPV/6 can connect to IPV/4. That is NOT the same as IPV/4 can connect to the IPV/6 network.
i normally use spam@real.com or support@real.com Especially when i have to install some real software on a comp(if i can't get away without installing it). Else i just use my own spam hole.

Hehe, good, somehow it just ended up as a reply to my thread :D
good we cleared that out.
Sincerely
afaik it were cancelled, then due to massive protest it was bought for another season. So fast that it didn't matter for productions. But then again, i may be wrong.
What was that about? why were i being a troll? why were i being stupid?
I didn't bash the subject. i supported farscape, i wrote why it was good?
Please explain what i did wrong so i wont do it again.
The story for season 5 weren't written yet.

Hey, that hurt. You evil hatefilled man. /me wonders if he know the answer to that one
Like Babylon 5

No it wasn't. At BiMonSciFiCon they simply talked about production. Not broadcast. Anyways, even then nothing could be officialy stated.
