Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

The only problem about Farscape moving to a network how be the fact that the network would have to edit out alot of the violence, sex, drugs, and language that are a crucial part of Farscape. If the network gave Rockne O'bannon full creative control over it and didn't cut funding, than that would rock. Hopefully Scifi will come to their senses and keep their key show. For every crappy movie they make, they could make a season of FS. But if a network picks it up and dosen't screw with it, then F**k Scifi. Farscape powered by Smackdown!, I love it!

You don't watch much network TV do ya? Sex Drugs and Violance is what it is all about....

Cable only throws a little rock and roll in the mix

Hey with the new mandatory Ratings system you could theoretically have almost anything on TV. Look at South Park for example. It may mean that FS would have to be on later at night but thats why they made VCR's and TIVO.

How about the original Flash Gordon Series way back when... it was quite popular back in the old days, before computers, graphic enhancements, etc.. (the good old days )

Yeah, the original Flash Gordon was well swervy - I did particularily like the way someone had stuffed roman candles up the backsides of the rocket ships and then ran a magimix to get the sound effects

I'd still love to see a Dan Dare series and/or film, but sticking to the style and spirit of the 50's original, ie rockets full of valves and pipes and things rather than circuitry and computers, and control panels with big levers in primary colours, and blocky robots that look like they've been made out of boxes...

That reminds me. Check out www.robotbastard.com - 40 meg download but well worth it. It's by the same guy as the excellent "Scud: Disposible Assasin".

You mean like the Flash Gordon movie?

I love that, I am always trying to slip lines from it into polite business conversation... things like 'Gordon's alive??' or 'Squadron 40! DIIIVVVVVEEEEEEEEE'
