OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?

It was a good show that had a hard time with its budget. Sci-Fi supported it here and there but some shows you can really see where the production values fell.

Overall the show was a great joy ride with a punk ending.

I do hope they produce the mini-series or movies as they claim they are going to do.

Doesn't the cheeze have a VCR? Tivo? Boss proof wristwatch tv with satellite reciever? (I personally favor the Last approach)

Now over a year old, the answer to the topic is still the same.

I never got into this series, a couple of neat ideas and some imaginitive stories - but not enough cool ships to keep me entertained.

Farscape used to be my favorite. It was indeed the best, edging out B5. After collecting all I was willing to of the Farscape DVDs (at some expense!), I took a risk and got the DVD of the entire series run of Firefly (of which I had only seen a couple of episodes) for the cost of one Farscape "collection" of four episodes.

Not only was it a great deal, I have changed my tune. Firefly is by far the best SciFi series I've ever seen. It saddens me to think such a good show can get canned by Fox as it did. But it wasn't lost on Universal studios - they're shooting the move Version, "Serenity".

a bit even more OT. Does anyone know if John Doe has been picked up again?. I swear I saw somewhere that it was returning in June, but everything I can find lists it as cancelled. I just saw the Last episode and want to know if there will be more. If its no more then "oh, well" and I assume the ad I saw just meant reruns from June. I would just like to know one way or the other.

Yes I could tape it, but it's the fact that it's on that disturbs my efforts to go to sleep.

Can't....go....to...sleep...without...watching.... Farscape

Or I wind up counting Claudia Blacks and Virginia Heys until I fall asleep.

AT, you must have missed my post awhile back that stated that according to the TV guide in my paper, there will be a Farscape mini to wrap everything up; plus, a 13 episode commitment to BAttlestar Galactica will be coming out also. No dates were mentioned, though.
