Yay! Not exactly a TV series, but we'll get to see a new miniseries released online-only kinda like the Battlestar webisodes.

Can't wait.

I watched Farscape, and the Peacekeeper Wars TV movie after the series ended. If I remember rightly, at the end of Peacekeeper Wars, all the bad guys died and there was a happy ever after ending with all loose ends neatly tied up. So wheres the new story coming from?

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

The bad guys declared peace. That won't last.

I'm a big Farscape fan, but I have to wonder how this web series is going to work. Farscape was expensive to produce when it was on SciFi, in part because of its epic backdrop, and I can't imagine how this would change in web format without some serious cutting back on special effects and animatronics. And, with each webisode being just a few minutes long, I have to wonder--why bother?

When the Battlestar Galactica did their 10-episode webisode run, the sets and effects were sparse to put it lightly, and consisted mostly of the cast sitting in tents or walking and talking around the tent village.

Ben Browder and Claudia Black are available now that SG1's (mostly) done with. And of course I'm hoping to see Sikozu return (Mmmm...). But it's been years--hasn't the cast moved on?

Or is it going to be a Farscape series set in the Farscape universe without the familiar crew? Again, if that's the case--why bother?

If it happens, I'll be super happy and watch them. If not, no big deal. I was just happy that they got to wrap up the show.

Bad sci-fi that used sex to get people to watch.

Still amusing like a car wreck.


Oh wait, no that was Lexx.

They need to bring that one back.

Lexx was funny.

Farscape was cool.

Looking forward to it!
