OT Wow, Now I've seen the worst ending in Scifi

[Radhil]

Nodachi: Sorry, you are wrong. Sci-Fi, at the end of Season 3 with Ratings riding high, signed a two-year comittment to the series. Sci-Fi then, in the middle of broadcasting season four with Ratings not quite so stellar and noting rising costs on the show, activated an opt-out clause in the contract and cancelling the before-then promised fifth season. They did this the EXACT same day that Farscape was wrapping their Last shot of the season (and it wasn't even for the Last episode, which had already shot - there was zero room to re-write the ending). In fact, the announcement for the cancellation might not have come until very near to this Last episode if not for the producer and Ben Browder breaking ranks (and Sci-Fi and Henson higher-up's orders) and telling the fans in a chatroom conversation the day after they got the news. Sorry, your info is wrong here. It is in no way shape or form the writers fault for leaving it hanging.

Dogscoff: Good call on Otherland. You want a horrible ending in Sci-Fi, people, just wait for that book series to hit TV miniseries or something. We got off easy on Farscape - intended or not, final or not, and left hanging or not, it at least fit the show's often dark humor bents perfectly.
