Farscape is getting cancelled!

Well, it is definatly true. I reccomend calling, emailing, and USPSing everyone in the contact section of Sci-Fi's website.

There are several petitions going around too. It can't hurt to try...

I never understood the StarTrek clones. Farscape, Babylon5, Andromeda, etc.

I guess it's cool that there are other choices but Star Trek is Jesus and the rest are just disciples.

The fans are another thing all together. They're the true definition of hardcore.

God damn sci-fi channel. This is one of their biggest mistakes besides killing MST3K and cancelling all anime. Now with this news I'll only watch Sci-fi for the Twilight Zone marathons unless they bring back some classics or they make themselves a new classic. BRING BACK VR5!:D

Later all...

Yes, Babylon 5 is a "clone" of Star Trek. Never mind the fact there's no technobabble or lame shields in the space battles (the best choreographed and most action packed space battles next to Star Wars), a main character can die at any given time, the aliens actually look cool (apparently on Star Trek all you have to do to be an alien is have a wrinkle on your nose or eyebrow), stuff actually happens in B5 and actually has something called a PROGRESSIVE PLOT which was carefully written ahead of time. As a former long time viewer of Star Trek, TNG, Voyager and DS9 I can safely say they had their moments but are absolute jokes in writing and character development compared to Babylon 5 and there is NO COMPARISON.

Star Trek: "Oh, no shields down 30%.' Captain: 'Use the thingy to fix that one thingy.' 'Oh sorry sir, the thingy is not available right now but we do have that one thingy that I can re-route to the other thingy and maybe make it work!"

"'Sir, 70% of our crew members were kidnapped by aliens on the planet down below. Captain: Sorry we can't rescue them and save their lives efficiently , we have to find a way around the Prime Directive first." AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. GIVE ME A BREAK.

I started watching B5 when it was at the end of the third season and found myself watching Trek less and less and then gave up on it totally thereafter. I used to LOVE Trek and now I can't believe how boring it is. They could have shook things up and made a really cool, gritty series with Enterprise and they give us a ship which doesn't seem much less advanced than Voyager, the same old lame techno tricks and dimensional travel crap and lame T&A stunts. And of course T'Pol who is basically just a Vulcan version of Seven of Nine.

I still like the original series though of course which my dad introduced me to many years ago before I tried much of any sci fi.

Frell.

Sci-Fi got on my shitlist when they axed MST3K.

Now, with the axing of Farscape, I have no reason to watch.

Farscape was one of the most visually-stylish shows out there.

Once again, I request any fans of the show to contact everyone you can involved with the Sci-Fi channel.

It is worth a try.

They have already dismantled Pilot, and boxed him up. :(

Never seen a single episode of Farscape, but from what I understand, it (and Stargate) was one of their highest-rated shows. Certainly, one of the longest-lasting. Hell, it's plastered all over the subways in NY (maybe a last ditch effort to attract viewers?).

You guys are right about one thing: Sci Fi Channel cancels all their best shows. The only thing I watch Sci Fi Channel for is the occasional Godzilla marathon (which I'm sure they'll do away with before long) and the holiday Star Trek and Twilight Zone marathons. Man, that station is quickly sliding down the crapper.

And, Sci Fi refuses to show ANIME??! Y'know, now that you mention it.. And how the HELL do you run a SCIENCE FICTION network, without "aliens/ship" material??!! This is the very FOUNDATION of Science Fiction!!

I don't consider TV psychics entertaining science fiction.

The bitch in charge of Sci-Fi would be happy if the network played 24 hours of "Crossing Over" and nothing else. She killed Invisible Man out of spite, and I'm sure she's happy to see another SCIFI (non-paranormal) show jettisoned from the network. Why couldn't Stargate have stayed on Showtime so I could boycott the network outright???

I could explain how I plan to KILL ALL HUMANS after all of this is done, but it goes without saying that if Farscape goes off the air, I won't even need a frickin' TV anymore.
