Had a relaxing weekend out of town, chilling out, playing with gadgets, and generally enjoying some peace and quiet. Today, I had a nice sunday roast in a pub in Denby, then came back home and read some websites.
And I read how Farscape - a series I wrote about back in January - had been cancelled, how the writers had broken the news direct to the fans in an IRC chat, and how the sets would soon be destroyed.
I haven't felt this... lost... since Looking Glass went bankrupt. Once again, something creative, something well above the norm, something amazing, comes to an end well before its time. Farscape was doing well in the ratings, so what was the problem? Maybe it's a casualty of the Sci-Fi Channel US moving away from space shows in favour of irredeemably idiotic dreck.
Or maybe it's something else. Caitlin Kiernan wrote in her online journal that innovation and excellence in television spells its own doom. This entry's title is from her journal too. Maybe she has a point.
I had the realisation that, if Farscape isn't saved, the best space show on the air will either be Enterprise or Andromeda. I contemplated that for a moment.
Then I sent a fax to the Sci-Fi Channel at 1-212-413-6531. Because that would be a terrible world to live in. And because it might not be too late.
What about Firefly?
A great many a number of legitimately DO imagine the US govt was involved.
I like to take breaks during the day and browse through some blogs to view what others are writing about. This blog appeared in my searches on bing and I couldn’t help but click on it. I am glad I did mainly because it was a extremely fulfilling study.
There is perceptibly an important bunch that will identify in regards to this. We consider you've made certain decent issues through includes even.
Are you making this up as you go along?
Nice template
Whats the point of the space station? Indeed what would be the point of any human spaceflight? (unless the was a habitable planet to go to) What would sending humans to Mars accomplish that sending robots would not? Or the moon? Pretty soon robots are going to be as smart as people and they dont require life-support.
