Farscape
Man, this show rocked. What the hell happened to it? I've just finished downloading the first season using utorrent and can't wait to start watching it at the week-end. What's even more exciting is that now I'm using P2P I can finally see the mini-series and the last season!
Any other fans?

Yeah, I think there are a bunch of us on here.
What happened to Farscape? The SciFi Channel happened to Farscape, just like it happened to Stargate SG-1 earlier this year. Somewhere around the third or fourth season, TPTB decided nobody was watching anymore, so they canceled it. (Fourth season really did bite, though. The whole feel of the show changed, and the humor became more juvenile.)
[Edit: Found a thread that mentions what happened to Farscape (scroll to about the third post) - SciFi dumped it in favor of a bunch of crappy premiers that I don't think are even on anymore. kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3979&start=0 ]

Farscape was renewed after S3 for a S4 and S5. SciFi Channel came to find out that S5 was going to be too expensive, so they offered instead to buy a half season. The Producers refused the offer, and we were left with the S4 cliff hanger. After a major internet cmpaign, SciFi Channel decided to finance the MiniSeries (Why the Producers wouldn't do a half season=10 episodes, I don't know, it would've given them more than double the air time they got with the MiniSeries, but, at least they did finish the arc, although the Miniseries contains the events of a 20 episode season in 4 hours)

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain
Where are we going...and... WHY are we in a handbasket?

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
