Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)
Well folks, Scifi has decided to pull the plug on Farscape, the most inovative SciFi series since the original Star Trek. The show will run out season 4 and be done with it. If you werent familiar with the series, it followed the tale of modern day US astronaught (and fellow southerner) John Crichton, who was shot through a wormhole to a distant part of the galaxy. Apon arriving, he accidently kills a PeaceKeeper and is forced to flee with a group of escaped prisoners. The character of Crichton is more real and three dimensional than all the Star Trek crews combined. We watch him transform from a peace loving scientist, to a brutal, mercyless fighter in only a season. He struggled for his sanity in season 2, fighting a neural clone of his arch enemy inside his head. The sudden cancellation screws the series quite bad, since the "Emergency cancelation" ending was already used mid way in season 3 when it was belived that the series was going to go the distance. With the exception of the X-Files, Farscape was the only Scifi show to actually have many Emmy worthy actors. The show will be greatly missed. It dosen't seem fair that a horrible show like Voyager got to Last 7 years, while this gets canned. Ah well, I can't watch Enterprise to see the half-assed rip off of John Crichton that is captain Archer (except for the fact that Archer is a complete goody-goody compared to JC) Or watch the blatant rip off comming on Fox called Firefly. This is Farscape except with different names and grade D actors. Anyway, this sucks!
