hopelijk komt er iets beters voor terug??
De Amerikaanse astronaut John Crichton komt per abuis in een compleet nieuw heelal terecht als hij door een wormgat heen gaat tijdens een experimentele ruimtevlucht. Daar voegt hij zich samen met een drietal ontsnapte gevangenen, Paú Zotoh Zhaan, Ka D’Argo en Rygel de XVI, die de controle hebben overgenomen van hun bio-mechanische gevangenis ruimteschip, Moya. Een officier van de "Peacekeepers", Aeryn Sun, voegt zich ook bij de anderen. De vluchtelingen zijn wanhopig op zoek naar hun eigen wereld en proberen daarbij Commander Crais en zijn dodelijke Peacekeepers telkens een stap vóór te zijn. In verdere avonturen worden vrienden en vijanden gemaakt. Soms ook onverwachts en op rare manieren. De bemanning van Moya wordt groter en er blijft een terugkerende verhaallijn in de afleveringen. Rede om te blijven kijken!
In de afgelopen seizoenen is het echt uitgegroeid tot een hele goede serie.
Het wordt oa uitgezonden door de BBC. Niet op een NLzender.
Ik ben er helemaal verslaafd aan geraakt.
Kijk anders even op alt.binaries.tv.farscape voor fragmenten.
Was altijd een Star Trek fan ... maar na een paar afleveringen Farscape was ik helemaal om ... vele malen leukere/spannendere/orginelere verhalen dan ST ... vond ST vanaf toen supersaai ... damn ...
Is een van de beste sci fi series op BBC, zoniet de beste
Voor degenen die niet weten over welke serie het gaat: [sf-serie] Farscape. Staan ook een paar mooie foto's in.
"There are no bigger fans of Farscape than we here at SCI FI Channel, it was one of SCI FI's first original series and quickly became a critical and fan favorite. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts to reach a broader audience, Farscape has been unable to grow beyond its core fan base. That, coupled with the extreme and growing cost of production, has led to the difficult decision to end the series at the conclusion of season four."
Er zijn genoeg kijkers, maar de 'winst' is te weinig... 
De schrijvers hadden gerekend op een 5e seizoen, seizoen 4 is zojuist opgenomen...
Nu is er dus geen 'correct' einde... en blijven we met heel veel vragen over hoe het af zou lopen zitten!!!
verdomme, farscape rocks ass!
Het is echt zo anders van al die sci fi dat er op tv is
Echter er is hoop

Jim henson company
Farscape is a flagship show for The Jim Henson Company. We are proud of its achievements over the past four years, which have included international critical recognition, three Saturn Awards, and a recent Emmy nomination. As always, your show of support is a true inspiration for our company and has been integral to our success.Although SCI FI Channel has chosen not to pick up a fifth season, The Jim Henson Company is in active development on a new Farscape film, an anime project and is currently discussing syndication of this highly acclaimed series. We are eager to move forward with the Farscape creative team in developing new projects that will resonate with our overwhelmingly loyal fan base.
On Friday September 6th, David Kemper (DK), Ben Browder and Richard Manning (FrooniumRicky) announced, in an impromptu chat on SciFi.com's #Farscape channel, that Sci Fi had decided not to exercise their option to pick up season five of Farscape, effectively cancelling the show as of the end of season four.
[Barbarella] OK
[Barbarella] you guys can talk right?
[Barbarella] speak to me
[FrooniumRicky] Check testing
[FrooniumRicky] one two three fo
[Ben Browder] Testing 1... 2...
[DK] DK says Hello.
[Ben Browder] Evening all.
[FrooniumRicky] Ning, all
[Ben Browder] Wow... look at all the familiar names!!!!
[DK] Ben, why did all these people sign off after you said hello?
[Ben Browder] Shock
[Barbarella] I could say something but I'l refrain guys this is your chat
[Barbarella]
[Ben Browder] I've been so scarce lately
[FrooniumRicky] ah, say something, Babs
[Barbarella] here I am
[FrooniumRicky] Take it, DK
[DK] If I may, I'd like to say a few words.
[FrooniumRicky] You just did
[Barbarella] I hope its more than that
[DK] It's rare for me to write something that's not in script form, so please bear with me.
[FrooniumRicky] It's equally rare... well, nm
[DK] I'm also not the most computer literate guy, as Ricky and Ben will tell you, so I beg forgiveness for mistakes.
[DK] Each and every year, at the end of the season
[DK] we have a chat with you,
[DK] our slightly bent cohorts in this
[DK] wonderful adventure,
[DK] and we wanted this year to be no different.
[DK] However, despite our best efforts, this year is a bitt different from all the rest.
[DK] In the past 24 hours, I have been
[DK] innundated with emails and calls
[DK] regarding rumors that are circulating
[DK] regarding our joint passion.
[DK] Where do we stand?
[DK] We are two days away from shooting the last scenes
[DK] of season 4.
[DK] As you know, Sci Fi has picked us up
[DK] for 4th and 5th seasons.
[DK] However, as with everything done at a
[DK] corporate level,
[DK] there was an out clause built into Sci Fi's
[DK] pickup schedule.
[DK] As of yesterday, we were informed --
[DK] after massive efforts by everyone at Henson
[DK] and working on the show --
[DK] most importantly Brian Henson
[DK] and the 3 gentlemen
[DK] here
[DK] that Sci Fi was not going to exercise it's
[DK] option to pick up the 5th season of Farscape.
[DK] The rumors that everyone has been calling me
[DK] about are sadly
[DK] very sadly true.
[DK] Tuesday will be the last time Ben dons the uniform
[DK] of Commander John Crichton.
[DK] We are all hugely sad.
[DK] I am shaking as I write this.
[DK] Yesterday, we all cried on the set.
[DK] Yet, as we are, at the end of the line
[DK] so to speak
[DK] being just the people who make the show
[DK] and not the corporate entities that fund and air it
[DK] we are as helpless as anyone.
[DK] And we are sad
[DK] And we are shattered.
[DK] And we are sorry.
[DK] And we wanted to come online
[DK] and talk to YOU,
[DK] our core fans who have stood
[DK] beside us for such a long and great journey.
[DK] I turn it over to Ricky and Ben for their comments.
[Ben Browder] Ricky?...
[FrooniumRicky] Ben?...
[DK] Alright.
[FrooniumRicky] DK speaks the truth; we are shattered
[Ben Browder] Ok...
[FrooniumRicky] speechless
[DK] I know what they're feeling.
[DK] We all believed
[Ben Browder] I really should have prepared something...
[DK] as late as 36 hours ago,
[DK] that we were going to 5th season.
[DK] But Sci Fi has not picked us up,
[DK] so, as all the rumors have suggested,
[DK] we have no way to make the show.
[DK] Believe me, Brian and everyone involved
[DK] have gone LITERALLY to the ends of the earth
[DK] to make this happen,
[DK] but there does not seem to be a way around this moat
[DK] placed before us.
[DK] Ben, Ricky - should we just have the Moderator start
[DK] filtering through questions?
[FrooniumRicky] I wish we had answers, but... sure
[Barbarella] Well I'm gonna type this up with no name since many people are asking this....Are there any plans of trying to go to other networks? And Is there anything the fans themselves can do to try to keep Farscape on the air?
[Ben Browder] Yep
[DK] Good question.
[DK] At the moment, the whole deal hinges on what to do with the
[DK] first 88 eps.
[DK] Perhaps a network would be interested in running
[DK] a 5th and 6th year of Farscape --
[DK] and you should know
[DK] we have the 5th season already plotted out --
[DK] however, without the right to air the first 88
[DK] eps, they'd be hard pressed to provide financing and see no return
[DK] for years because Sci Fi has the rights to the first 88.
[DK] What can you do?
[DK] I think, just what fans everywhere have
[DK] always been able to do.
[DK] Support the show.
[DK] Watch it.
[DK] When all else fails,
[DK] let everyone know how you feel.
[Barbarella] another question?
[FrooniumRicky] ga
[DK] Let's go.
[Barbarella] And another no name question everyone is curious is there plans for a Farscape movie possibly?...often its been hinted at and they'd love to see one
[DK] Rock and I talked about it this morning.
[DK] Despite this setback,
[DK] we still have plans to finish the script.
[DK] As you can imagine,
[DK] we're all out of work on Wednesday,
[DK] and no one is eager to let this go yet.
[DK] It all happened
[DK] too suddenly.
[DK] Ricky, Ben, myself
[DK] and everyone
[DK] is still in a state of shock.
[DK] Ben and must've talked on the phone 10-12 times
[DK] since yesterday morning,
[DK] and we still can't absorb/believe it.
[DK] Hang on a second--
[DK] I just saw someone log on as Bonnie Hammer must die.
[DK] You should be ashamed of yourself and change that
[DK] nick instantly.
[DK] That kind of reaction
[DK] without knowing who and how it went
[DK] down is totally wrong.
[Barbarella] yes please guys do try to keep the anger to a minimum since we don't know the whole story
[DK] You are attacking the wrong people.
[DK] I am the most savaged and angry person about this you know.
[DK] Brian started on this project with Rockne in 1993.
[DK] I was brought in in 1994.
[DK] It has been essentially my life since then.
[DK] If I am not angry at Bonnie, then you have no right to be.
[DK] To answer the log on--
[DK] Bonnie is the President of Sci Fi,
[DK] and has always been a fan of Farscape.
[DK] Question?
[Barbarella] *n107* Will you have time to make season 4 wrap up all the plots? If not how many letters will it take to force Sci Fi to do the right thing for once in their history and keep the show running?
[DK] We got a 1.5 rating
[DK] for Unrealized Reality.
[DK] If every one of those people wrote a letter,
[DK] we might end up filming season 9.
[DK] Q?
[Ben Browder] The story is not finished... n107
[Ben Browder] We found out after shooting 422
[FrooniumRicky] And we mistakenly left a few people alive at the end of 422
[FrooniumRicky] Who knew?
[Barbarella] hehehe
[DK] Q?
[Barbarella] *Mukaikubo* "For DK: When the final episode- I can't believe I said that- airs, will you let us know what The Master Plan for Season V was?"
[DK] Sure.
[DK] If there is no way for Farscape to continue,
[DK] we'll get the story out somehow.
[DK] Perhaps
[FrooniumRicky] Mime, perhaps
[DK] 2 unemployed writers and one unemployed
[Ben Browder] we should write a book
[DK] actor/writer will
[DK] write you something.
[DK] I wonder if THAT book would sell?
[FrooniumRicky] Hey, we can act it out on street corners
[DK] Q?
[Barbarella] *SciFiChick66* when it was decided that Crais and Talyn would "die", did you know yet that the show would be renewed for 2 more seasons? Now that it has, will you bring them back and/or resolve the dangling plotlines concerning their characters? For instance, what did Stark "know" about them that was important enough for Crais to threaten Stark w/ a knife?
[FrooniumRicky] with an open laptop case for people to throw coins into
[Ben Browder] LOL
[Barbarella] ROFL
[DK] That last question I think
[FrooniumRicky] dangling?
[DK] That last question
[DK] Oops,
[DK] operator error
[Barbarella] you want a repeat?
[DK] Question seems to have missed the point.
[DK] We have been cancelled.
[Barbarella] ahhh
[Barbarella] yes
[DK] There are no more Farscape's planned.
[DK] We can't resolve anything beyond what we've done for season 4.
[DK] And besides, this is not the time nor place for storypoints and spoilers.
[DK] Q?
[Barbarella] well a statement I am getting lots of people expressing their sadness for the loss of the show as well as their admiration of the job you guys have done and I also feel that way
[FrooniumRicky] Quit leaving; we're hoping to hit 400 people
[Barbarella] many wished you guys to know that
[FrooniumRicky] We appreciate it
[FrooniumRicky] Farscape fans are the best
[FrooniumRicky] The looniest, but the best
[Ben Browder] Just wanted you guys to hear it from us
[Ben Browder] the shock and sadness here in Australia is profound
[FrooniumRicky] As you can imagine, it wasn't a happy set on Friday
[FrooniumRicky] This is a family
[Ben Browder] half of my phone calls in the last day have ended in tears
[FrooniumRicky] especially after four years
[Barbarella] Many people are also asking do you have plans for spin off series or totally new and unique ideas for a new series?
[DK] If there are no more questions, then we should leave everyone to absorb the sad news that way that we are having to do so.
[FrooniumRicky] Certainly the most fun I've ever had on a series
[Ben Browder] And the Fans... you guys in particular
[Ben Browder] are such a huge part of the Farscape family
[DK] Ben's point is exactly why we're here.
[DK] We've always been close to the fans.
[Barbarella] also they'd like an address to write to to try to Save Farscape
[FrooniumRicky] We have ideas and stuff, sure, but right now we're still dealing with grief and shock
[DK] Even from 8000 miles away, in many cases.
[FrooniumRicky] This was our baby
[Ben Browder] and yours
[DK] We just wanted to set the rumor mill straight and make
[DK] sure everyone knew the truth so they could deal with it.
[Ben Browder] damn... this sucks
[Ben Browder] I feel like a cop at the door
[Ben Browder] 24 hours after hearing it... it's no easier
[DK] I shudder to think what is going to happen when this is opened up to all deserving voices.
[Barbarella] yes it does truelly....I must say the show was one of the few I watched in particular...and actually followed...and I really am saddened by all this as are all of the scapers
[DK] Did someone ask for an address?
[Barbarella] yes a name and address to write to
[Barbarella] to try to save Farscape
[DK] I would simply say, call and/or lookup
[DK] Sci Fi in NY.
[DK] In this case, speed is our friend.
[DK] Believe it or not, the sets are scheduled to be torn
[DK] down forever at the end of next week.
[Ben Browder] david means... if you want to do something...
[DK] I used to work at CBS for
[DK] over 10 years, and I know that
[Ben Browder] do it before they take the chainsaws to moya
[DK] calls and telegrams always used to get our attention.
[Barbarella] I think that can be arranged
[FrooniumRicky] did emails? I always heard real letters were much more effective than emails
[DK] Volume and speed. Dissappointment is better than anger.
[DK] Remember that furious people
[DK] are "nuts."
[DK] Angry, but civil and controlled
[DK] people are "fans."
[DK] Networks listen to "fans."
[FrooniumRicky] no misspellings, no obscenities
[Ben Browder] correct grammer??? Cain't do that.
[DK] Cain't is southern, I believe.
[Barbarella] hehehe
[Barbarella] and your point?
[Ben Browder] correctly spelled
* Barbarella smiles a wide Texan grin
[Ben Browder] be civilised
[Ben Browder] and free refills on tea
[DK] No point. I didn't view it as a mispelling.
[FrooniumRicky] civiliZed, you Aussie
[DK] I make up words, as Ricky will tell you.
[FrooniumRicky] words and worlds
[DK] There is no such thing as a mispelling as long as the point gets
[DK] across.
[DK] How did words get made up in the first place? :-)
[Barbarella] grunts and growls
[Barbarella] only make it so far
[Ben Browder] Hey folks... we're really sorry...
[DK] Spread the word. Have a wake.
[DK] Watch Farscape.
[FrooniumRicky] Have a bee-ah.
[Barbarella] ok you guys ready to unmoderate?...or do you have anything else you want to say? or statements you'd like to make?
[DK] I will tell you something interesting--
[FrooniumRicky] Buy the dvds.
[DK] The last half of season 4
[Barbarella] I think most in here have the DVD's
[DK] has tons of material that we have
[Ben Browder] RICKY!
[DK] shot that won't make it on the air.
[FrooniumRicky] BEN!
[DK] Way to many scenes.
[DK] Gonna be a DVD fest, folks.
[Ben Browder] I'd like to say something
* FrooniumRicky runs to Ben in slow motion
[Ben Browder] ...
[Ben Browder] Thank you
[Ben Browder] Thank you all for four glorious years
[Ben Browder] we have had more fun than is
[Ben Browder] legal in show buisness
[Ben Browder] You guys... get it
[Ben Browder] you get the show and what we do
* DK would like to nod his head in extreme gratitude to the fans, and then step back. Thank you all so much. See you on the next series.
[Ben Browder] Who'd have ever thought we'd be here...
[Ben Browder] Not me.
[Ben Browder] And
[Ben Browder] I will forever be grateful.
[Ben Browder] Thak you guys
[Ben Browder] Thank you even
[FrooniumRicky] Thank you odd
[FrooniumRicky] We truly do appreciate it
[Ben Browder] that's it.... that's all folks

[FrooniumRicky] We don't really want to stop the show
[DK] Moderator? Should we open it up now?
[Barbarella] you bet
[Ben Browder] Open it up

CNN Headline News Reports on the Push to Save Farscape
by Mary Wood - Wednesday, September 11 2002
Renay San Miguel, "HotWired" reporter for CNN Headline News, ran a piece this evening on the efforts of the Farscape online community at large to get the show renewed for a 5th season. He plugged farscape.wdsection.com specifically as the main site coordinating efforts and said that several other sites have also helped in organization and coordination (while no other sites were mentioned by name, several site pages were shown onscreen as Mr. San Miguel spoke, including FarscapeWorld).
He said that he spoke earlier today with Matt Roush, the popular critic from TV Guide who has been a longtime supporter of Farscape. Roush told him that while he didn't know how effective such a campaign would be in reviving the show, he was impressed with the fact that the news broke on a chatroom, with how quickly the news spread, and with the organization of the fan base thus far. San Miguel also pointed to the fan campaign that got "Once and Again" renewed after ABC had cancelled it. He ended the story by saying that he ran it largely due to an influx of emails from 'Scapers urging CNN to cover the campaign.
An hour later, San Miguel reported that in that hour, CNN had received more than 30 emails from fans all over the world regarding the story and his coverage of it. "We think that's worth a recap for our West Coast viewers." He recapped the previous story and urged fans to keep the emails coming. It was also mentioned at the end of this second story that Farscape is number 2 in SciFi's ratings behind SG1, making one wonder why it was canned.
+++++++++
As a result of this story, Dani and I urge you to keep it up! Coverage like this is exactly what we need! The ball is literally in our court ladies and gentlemen. If the fan outcry is organized, unified, and steady (we can not simply send a couple of emails this week and sit back to see what happens - that's expected), people will listen. Anyone remember New Coke?
For all the blood, sweat, and tears the cast and crew of Farscape have given us over the years, we can give a little back now. You can email CNN Headline News via their website by clicking here. Go to "contact us" on the left side menu on the front page. Thank them for running the story and urge them to keep running it. We also urge you to email Matt Roush via his new feature, "The Roush Room" at TVGuide.com.

Fans Rally as "Farscape" Flames Out
Tuesday September 10 9:15 PM ET
By Kimberly Potts
Farscape seems destined to become the Star Trek of its time--and that's not totally a good thing.
Though Farscape enjoys a core viewership that rivals the Trekkers' devotion to their series, it seems the two seminal sci-fi shows will have something else in common: premature cancellation.
On Monday, the Sci Fi Channel, home of Farscape since its 1999 debut, confirmed it has pulled the plug on the series, citing growing production costs and declining ratings. And, just like the fans who once bombarded NBC with "save our show" missives (of the snail-mail variety) when the Peacock net axed the original voyage of the Starship Enterprise after just three seasons in 1969, Farscape fans are also rallying to keep their show on the air.
"Save Farscape" (farscape.wdsection.com) is the unofficial homebase for the efforts, including online petitions (one has already logged more than 18,000 signatures), updated info on the cancellation and tips on sending balloons, Farscape toys and letters--both via email and snail mail--to Sci Fi Channel execs.
There's also the "Farscape World" (www.farscapeworld.com) and "Guiding Star" (homepage.mac.com/chryse/Guiding%20Star/Cancelled.html) campaigns, both of which include the obligatory letter-writing info that is the earmark of "save our show" operations, which in the past helped keep shows like Once and Again, Felicity and Roswell on the air for several seasons.
The news of the series' imminent demise first leaked on Friday, when Farscape executive producer David Kemper and star Ben Browder popped up in the Sci Fi Channel chat room to let fans in on the surprise word that the show's fourth and current season would be its last.
"Tuesday will be the last time Ben dons the uniform of Commander John Crichton," Kemper wrote. "We are all hugely sad. I am shaking as I write this. Yesterday, we all cried on the set. Being just the people who make the show and not the corporate entities that fund and air it, we are as helpless as anyone. And we are sad. And we are shattered. And we are sorry."
Sci Fi Channel reps, meanwhile, have only commented on the matter via an official press release, stating that "there are no bigger fans of Farscape than here at Sci Fi Channel. It was one of Sci Fi's first original series and quickly became a critical and fan favorite. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts to reach a broader audience, Farscape has been unable to grow beyond its core fan base. That, coupled with the extreme and growing cost of production, has led to the difficult decision to end the series at the conclusion of season four."
The show, produced by Jim Henson TV and shot in Australia, is reported to cost around $1.5 million an episode, apparently a sticking point in the Sci Fi Channel's recent attempts at renegotiating to keep the series around for a fifth season. Sci Fi has also noted the dipping ratings of Farscape during the recent summer season: the adventures of an Earth astronaut lost in outer space pulled in a 1.2 rating (958,000 households) from May 27 to August 18, according to Variety. Meanwhile, Sci Fi's Stargate: SG-1 averaged a 1.7 rating (1.3 million households), also casting a pall on Farscape's position at the niche network.
In one small bright spot, buzz is that Jim Henson TV may be shopping the series to another network. Farscape would seem a natural fit, for example, for UPN, the home of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the newest incarnations of The Twilight Zone and Star Trek spinoff Enterprise, or Showtime, the cable net that was the original home of Stargate SG-1.
As for the show's immediate future, it returns to the Friday night Sci Fi Channel lineup in January with several new episodes that will wrap in March and season three is scheduled for release on DVD next year.
"Although [the] Sci Fi Channel has chosen not to pick up a fifth season, the Jim Henson Company is in active development on a new Farscape film, an animé project and is currently discussing syndication of this highly acclaimed series," a Henson TV press release states. "We are eager to move forward with the Farscape creative team in developing new projects that will resonate with our overwhelmingly loyal fan base."
But, back to those Trekkie comparisons, does this all mean that Farscape's future as a series is most likely limited to fans dressing up like Chiana to attend the yearly conventions?
Well, there's one scheduled for Burbank in November, so we'd suggest busting out that gray wig now.

Er is al interesse van andere TV stations:
UPN and Showtime both showing interest in the show
by Dani Moure - Thursday, September 12 2002
In the latest "Programming Insider" on Media Week, they suggest that UPN are considering picking up Farscape for next season. They say:
"Here's An Interesting Rumor:
Word is circulating that UPN is considering picking up Sci Fi's not renewed Farscape for the 2003-04 season. Considering that the aging Buffy could be heading into its last season, this is not necessarily a bad idea."
Media Week generally tend to be in the know, and from the genuinely nice response the network has given those who have called regarding Farscape, it would appear they are definitely considering the show.
Additionally, Mary (and several other Scapers) have been in touch with Showtime, who have also been reportedly extremely receptive and helpful. They do however reiterate that the best way to log your interest is via their website.
Sci Fi post message about Farscape on their website
by Dani Moure - Friday, September 13 2002
As per the message on SciFi.com:
"Dear Scapers:
Thank you for your tremendous efforts in support of Farscape. We have received the many phone messages, e-mails, faxes, letters and flowers that you have been sending. And they are appreciated. (Unfortunately, we will have to return the check for $60 that was sent to help pay for a new season.) Your dedication and devotion to the series makes us all proud to have worked on such a beloved show.
We request that you direct all your e-mails to programming@scifi.com so we can keep track of how much Farscape mail we receive. This mailbox is checked throughout every business day by SCI FI staff members. Also, SCIFI.COM staff members monitor the BBoards every day, so messages posted there will be read. We request that you refrain from sending your comments directly to individual employees, either by e-mail or by phone.
If you'd like to call, you can leave a message on our Viewer Line (212) 413-5679. Although many other numbers have been posted, this is the one to use to ensure that your voice is heard. If the mailbox is full, please try again later, as we listen to the messages every few hours.
Thanks again.

We (ja, ik heb ook wat gedaan) zijn ook al vier keer op CNN geweest. Reney, degene die op CNN steeds het laatste Farscape nieuws bracht is zeer tof, hij meldde eergisteren dat er misschien dinsdag een interview komt met Ben Browder in primte-time. De chats met de cast en crew op #farscape op irc.scifi.com zijn erg tof. De sets zijn nog NIET vernietigd, dit komt mede door de fans en door hun akties. Anthony Simcoe (D'Argo) heeft gezegd dat alle acteurs zich momenteel tijdelijk op kleine rolletjes en conventies concentreren, want als Farscape terug komt (en er is een kleine kans) dat ze dan de draad weer op kunnen pakken.
Volgens Anthony is er as maandag in Australie een vergadering tussen de 'suits' van Jim Henson en de 'suits' van Scifi. Dit komt ook door de enorme fan response. Wat hier uit kan komen weet ik niet, iedereen hoopt op een vijfde seizoen, maar er gaan geruchten dat er misschien een mini serie wordt gemaakt om de show goed te laten eindigen, let op, het is een gerucht. We zullen het morgen iig horen denk ik.
Er is heel veel publiciteit geweest rondom de acties, meer dan bij andere acties om gecancellede series weer terug te halen. Het zal 'm wel aan het aantal fans liggen. Ook zijn er al een aantal advertenties geweest in goed belezen kranten en bladen. De Variety had een derde pagina advertentie van de fans, een open brief aan de scifi channel. In een Sydney's dagblad was er een halve pagina met een bericht voor de cast en crew van de show. Erg gaaf, en het heeft blijkbaar wel wat gekost.
Dus.. morgen hopenlijk wat meer antwoorden. Ik hoop dat ze alsnog een vijfde seizoen kunnen regelen, dat ze gewoon een einde kunnen brouwen aan de serie, zoals het bedoelt was.
Zo..

Het enige waar SW voor verantwoordelijk is, is dat die serie er niet kwam maar daar voor in plaats een film (Star Trek: The Motion Picture).

Een citaat uit de Star Trek Omnipedia, ingesproken door wijlen Mark Leonard, de acteur die Sarek (de vader van Spock) speelde:
quote:Dat er een markt was voor science fiction films, dus.
The reason for this was Star Wars. George Lucas had proven what Gene Roddenberry was saying all along.
Terug on-topic:
Ik heb niet vaak naar Farscape gekeken, maar ik vond het een unieke en indrukwekkende serie. Goed acteerwerk, goed verhaal, goede decors, goede CGI en special effects... Maar vooral de make-up en de kostuums. Die waren ronduit meesterlijk. 
Ik overdrijf niet als ik zeg dat geen enkele andere serie of film op dat punt aan Farscape kon tippen. Veel aliens zagen er origineel uit en je kon zien dat er allemaal heel veel werk in heeft gezeten. Toen ik voor het eerst een Scarran zag rondlopen, dacht ik: shit, hoe hebben ze dat gemaakt? 
Maar dat zal waarschijnlijk ook meteen de hoofdreden zijn geweest waarom de serie nu mogelijk gecancelled wordt: de hoge kosten.
Tegen de fans zeg ik: blijven knokken! Writing campaigns hebben in het verleden weleens gewerkt, een prominent voorbeeld daarvan was de protest actie onder leiding van Bjo Trimble, die ervoor zorgde dat Star Trek TOS (wat langer) op de buis bleef.
Don't give up! Never surrender!
Oh, wacht... Dat was van Galaxy Quest...
Maar goed, on-topic maar weer.
quote:Zekers, dat ontken ik ook niet.

Maar om nou te zeggen dat er zonder Star Wars geen Star Trek was geweest, is, om maar ff in de geest van dit topic te blijven, gelul in de ruimte.
Ruim tien jaar VOOR Star Wars was er al Star Trek!
Blijkbaar heeft de scifi channel ook niet verschrikkelijk veel geld, ze zijn een onderdeel van het USA network, wat weer van Vivendi is. Stargate is hun andere goed bekeken serie en daar betalen ze waarschijnlijk minder voor, omdat hun niet voor een deel de eigenaren zijn van die show, dus bij gebrek aan geld moest de duurste serie sneuvelen. Stargate is als het goed is ook na dit seizoen voorbij, hoewel er nog geruchten rondgaan dat ze een zevende seizoen gaan doen, zonder Richard Dean Anderson, die met acteren wilt stoppen.
De fans proberen bij andere zenders interesse te kweken om Farscape te gaan uitzenden. Zo zou Showtime best interesse hebben, en geruchten gaan dat UPN (Buffy, Enterprise) ook wel wat ziet in Farscape (Buffy eindigt na het zevende seizoen, dus er komt een plekje vrij). Tot zo ver zijn dat nog geruchten, helaas.
Vandaag is er, met de dank aan de fan acties, een vergadering tussen de scifi channel en Jim Henson co, over de toekomst van Farscape. Misschien kunnen ze, nu de scifi channel weet wat dat er écht veel fans zijn van de show, alsnog een vijfde seizien regelen. Gerucht gaat dat er misschien een mini serie komt, we zullen zien.
Er zijn andere series teruggehaald na fans respons, Sliders is twee keer teruggehaald, La Femme Nikita heeft 8 afleveringen gekregen om de serie af te ronden. Roswell heeft een nieuw seizoen gekregen nadat fans Tabasco stuurden naar de zender die de show had gecancelled. En natuurlijk de eerste Star Trek...
Farscape is natuurlijk 
en moet gewoon blijven.. 
(yay nieuwe smileys)
Dan hebben ze iets anders voor in de plaats

Over media aandacht hoeft Farscape momenteel niet te klagen. Dit is de voorpagina van, ik meen, een Australisch tijdschrift:
Tevens is de hoofdrol speler: Bon Browder (midden vooraan, hierboven) live op CNN:
Ben Browder will be live from Sydney this Tuesday (17th) at 8.15pm on CNN Headline News. He'll be interviewed by entertainment anchor Alicia Davis, and should be asked about his thoughts on the current campaign.
TV Guide reporter and Farscape supporter, Matt Roush posted this article (http://www.tvguide.com/tv/roush/mattask/ answering a few questions as to why the show may have been cancelled and more of his thoughts on it. A great voice of reason as always.
Tachyon TV (http://www.tachyon-tv.co.uk/news.htm) have posted a humerous piece covering the shows cancellation and what you can do to help. It's nice to see some humour at a time like this.
There is another article circulating around saying that the efforts have been in vein. You can read it here (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/Entertainment/story_39150.asp)(also mirrored by Yahoo). I would like to point out that given the dates and times, this is not entirely accurate and we should wait for firm information from those involved before going spare.

Zal het eigenlijk nut hebben om wat Nederlandse media te gaan bestoken met dit nieuws.
Hoe meer fans en andere liefhebbers van Farscape en Sci-Fi, zich laten horen hoe beter. En om deze fans te bereiken lijkt mij de Nederlandse media (Radio/TV zenders, Tijdschriften, Internet tijdschriften ed) zover te krijgen dat ze hierover berichten.
Ik heb al enkele faxen en emails richting Amerikaanse media verstuurd, ik hoop maar dat het nut heeft. Er zijn iniedergeval alweer gesprekken gaande!
goed uit voor een 5e seizoen volgen Ben Browder:Ben Browder tells CNN HLN that, following further talks, it looks like Sci Fi will not continue the show
by Dani Moure - Tuesday, September 17 2002
Tonight, CNN Headline News entertainment anchor Alisha Davis spoke with Ben Browder, live from Sydney, regarding the cancellation of the show. Here's a transcript:
Alisha: Joining me now all the way from Australia is Ben Browder. Ben, thanks so much for joining us.
Ben: My pleasure. Good morning from Australia. It's 9:20, the sun is shining, it's the end of winter, and it's tomorrow.
Alisha: All right, well thanks so much for joining us. And my understanding is that you and the cast and the crew, if we can go back to this, you were on the set you were getting ready for the fifth season, and then within two weeks you were told that the show was going to be cancelled. Is that how it happened?
Ben: That's pretty close to the timeline. We had actually finished shooting our final episode of season four, we were doing pickup shots from an earlier episode. The night before I'd been talking with Brian Henson and David Kemper, our executive producers, and they were fairly sure we were going ahead and everyone was planning for a fifth season, and then were on the set and got news and a lot of people broke down in tears.
Alisha: Wow, must've felt like the rug was kind of pulled out from under you there.
Ben: Alicia I got a lot of music in my ears so you're gonna have to speak up.
Alisha: I will! All right, here I was wondering now there is a big campaign to save the show, tell us about that and do you think the fans and the internet can save this show?
Ben: Well the interesting thing about this situation is that basically the two parties the USA Networks and The Henson Company as producers had decided, there was a split, uh, after the fan response they got back together and started talking again. uh, it gave us an extra week before we had to start chopping up the sets, for them to try to figure out a way around it; at this point it looks like it's not going to happen, so we're not going to see a fifth season.
Alisha: Wow. Now, I know that you've participated in chats about the show on the internet. What was the best thing you've heard from fans in those chats?
Ben: Well, the interaction with the fans started almost from the inception of the show, from the period where we were just airing on Sci Fi, umm, very early on the only reaction we had was on the internet so if we wanted a fan response, we wanted to know what they thought about the show, we had to get on the internet and find out. So we had chats at the end of every year, they were sponsored by Sci Fi, and we would gauge how are audience was responding by what we were reading and seeing on the internet. So they were actually critical in the creative process of the show as well. As an actor you stand between the words and the audience, and on television, at least from Australia, the only way to gauge that is to get on the internet and find out what works and what doesn't work, it's been fascinating watching the internet work for us.
Alisha: Yeah it really has, and you have so many fans who really love the show. Ben, I want to thank you so much for joining us.
Ben: Uh, thank you for having me and g'night from Australia.
Ben's comments make it clear that it is now imperative that we contact other networks, particularly Showtime and UPN (who have both expressed interest in some form in the show), as we have been urging you to do from the get go, to try to get them to pick up the show. Visit our Help Save Farscape page for more information.
Dat ze zo'n geweldige serie afkappen, omdat ze er niet genoeg opverdienen...
Het lijkt er nu toch echt op dat het over is....Q: SCI FI cited poor ratings as a reason for the cancellation. Aren't the ratings as high as they have ever been?
A: The fact is, ratings for the series have declined. Farscape's average primetime rating for original episodes in 2001 was a 1.4 [1,611,000 actual viewers] (Farscape's "rating" represents the percentage of homes that can get SCI FI Channel that tuned into the show). The show peaked in March 2001 with the season 3 premiere earning a 1.9. However, in 2002, season four's original episodes averaged a 1.2 [1,544,000 viewers]. Also, despite the fact that SCI FI is now available in nearly 3 million more homes than it was during season 3, the actual number of viewers for Farscape has gone down.
Additionally, in past seasons, Farscape had built upon its lead-in program (i.e., had more viewers than the program preceding it - a standard industry indicator of a show's success). For example, during the summer of 2001, Farscape increased 44% in ratings and 51% in households over its lead-in, The Invisible Man. However, this past summer, Farscape lost 29% of its lead-in program in terms of ratings, and 27% in households.
Q: SCI FI also cited "the rising cost of production" for the cancellation. Isn't it true that the costs have not changed between seasons 4 and 5?
A: While it is true that there was no rise in production costs between seasons 4 and 5, there was a very steep rise in cost between seasons 3 and 4. At that time, the cost-benefit ratio was far more equitable - Farscape was the highest rated original series on the Channel and it consistently performed well. In light of the fact that the ratings failed to maintain, and actually suffered a decline during season 4, the overall high cost to produce Farscape became an issue. We were faced with a show that was costing considerably more than it had during its first three seasons, while attracting a smaller audience. Farscape was failing to meet its advertising estimates and its continuation for a full 22-episode fifth season no longer made financial sense.
Q: Did SCI FI have any intention of producing season 5, or was the two-season pick-up announcement just a publicity stunt?
A: SCI FI had every intention of going forward with season 5 when the initial deal was made. However, with the slip in ratings, we could not justify production of another 22 episodes at Farscape's current high cost. We then immediately began an aggressive pursuit of a shortened 13-episode season 5. We did this knowing that we would be forced to incur significant financial penalties, above and beyond the usual per-episode cost of production. Up until the last moment, we all believed that this would work out. Unfortunately, we could not come to terms with our production partners. We certainly did not want to see Farscape end abruptly. We are disappointed to have the series end this way.
Q: Didn't you hurt the ratings by changing Farscape's time period?
A: Farscape was moved to the 10pm spot in the hopes that new SCI FI viewers tuning into the debut of Stargate SG-1 would stay around to sample Farscape and become hooked on the show. For the first few weeks of the new SCI FI Friday lineup, we even created special episodic promotions for Farscape that aired within Stargate, in an effort to push viewers to Farscape. However, despite the fact that large numbers of new viewers did show up to watch Stargate, not enough of them stayed tuned for Farscape.
One other unfortunate point to note is that at 10pm, Farscape faced no competition from UPN, WB or Fox, as those networks stop broadcasting dramatic shows after 10pm, and in most markets switch to local news. Yet, even with less broadcast network competition at 10pm than at 9pm, Farscape's ratings still declined this season.
Q: Wasn't SCI FI's lack of promotion of Farscape directly to blame for the series' failure to reach new viewers? Stargate SG-1 was given far more promotion by the network.
A: This is a misconception. SCI FI made a conscious decision to promote both Friday night original series equally. All of our promotion was directed at the night - SCI FI Fridays. Therefore, Farscape received equal advertising and promotional dollars as Stargate SG-1, and received more marketing support for the launch of season 4 than it had at any other time aside from its premiere. In fact, over the years, SCI FI has dedicated more promotional dollars to Farscape than to any other SCI FI original series.
Q: How can you call Farscape a "beloved show" and still cancel it?
A: Despite what many seem to believe, those who work at SCI FI Channel truly love Farscape. It was one of our first original series, and became our signature show. With four full seasons, it is also the Channel's longest running original series. However, television is a business and despite every effort on our part, with the ratings dipping, the Channel could not commit to the high financial cost of producing another season. We were deeply involved in Farscape's inception and development and continue to be extremely proud of the series. Farscape was birthed here and ran for four full seasons - it was a very difficult decision.
Q: Is it true that SCI FI cancelled Farscape in order to finance another season of Stargate SG-1?
A: No. Negotiations for the series are completely separate. The decision to end Farscape after season 4 was based solely on its ratings performance in relation to its high cost of production. Whether we do more episodes of Stargate or not has nothing to do with Farscape.
Q: Why won't SCI FI Channel release Farscape to another network? Wouldn't that save the show?
A: SCI FI has not been approached to release Farscape to another network. From what we understand, despite efforts otherwise, there was no deal possibility for the show at any other network.
Q: Did SCI FI make the cancellation announcement on a Friday to keep it quiet?
A: Actually, SCI FI did not make the announcement. As of close of business on Friday, September 6, we were still in negotiations regarding Farscape's future. Late that night, unbeknownst to SCI FI, the cancellation was announced to fans via an impromptu online chat conducted by a few people at the production. We confirmed the news when it became official on Monday morning.
Q: Is it true that SCI FI automatically deletes any e-mail with the word "Farscape" in it?
A: This is not the practice of the Channel. However, we have requested that fans direct their e-mails to a specific e-mail address (programming@scifi.com) in order for us to monitor and keep track of their messages. It is only when messages are sent directly to SCI FI employees that there is a danger of deletion, since our mailboxes can only handle a certain volume of e-mails. They simply cannot all be read. We request viewers to direct their messages to the appropriate addresses. Viewers are also encouraged to direct their phone calls to our Viewer Hotline, (212) 413-5679, which is checked frequently throughout each business day.
Q: There are rumors that SCI FI cancelled the series because "the network brass hated the series." Is this true?
A: Once again, there is no truth to those rumors. Farscape's greatest supporters can be found at the Channel. Farscape's creator, Rockne O'Bannon, has even been quoted in a recent interview as stating that SCI FI Channel President "Bonnie (Hammer) has always been a real strong supporter of the series and seen the value in it." This has been an extraordinarily difficult decision to reach for all of us here at SCI FI, at every level.
Q: Have the sets been destroyed?
A: Although they were initially scheduled to be struck during the week of September 9, SCI FI Channel requested a reprieve as any possibility of saving the series was explored. Unfortunately, we understand that the sets will now be struck by Friday, September 20.
Q: Is it true that Farscape has been taken off the air?
A: No. The remaining eleven new episodes of season 4 will begin airing in January. Additionally, SCI FI will air an 11-episode Farscape Chain Reaction on December 24 from 8am - 7pm ET/PT. After the conclusion of season 4, all four seasons of Farscape will continue to air on SCI FI in repeats.

Farscape is a flagship show for The Jim Henson Company. We are proud of its achievements over the past four years, which have included international critical recognition, three Saturn Awards, and a recent Emmy nomination. As always, your show of support is a true inspiration for our company and has been integral to our success.
Although SCI FI Channel has chosen not to pick up a fifth season, The Jim Henson Company is in active development on a new Farscape film, an anime project and is currently discussing syndication of this highly acclaimed series. We are eager to move forward with the Farscape creative team in developing new projects that will resonate with our overwhelmingly loyal fan base.
