A Happy Thought to Cheer You Up

[haesan]

I was thinking today, and the thought I thought of cheered me up. I only have a minute, because I promised myself I'd get some sleep tonight (Ha! as if), but here it is:

*drumroll*

It may have been a good thing that Farscape was cancelled.

*hears loud boos from the audience*

Now hang on, I'm serious. Look at what we have accomplished. We are the largest, best organized, most devoted fan movement in history. As a result of our indignation over Sci Fi Channel's idiocy, we have gotten together, gotten organized, and gotten busy. We are spreading Farscape everywhere we can. We are converting family. We are converting friends. We are converting total strangers on warships in the middle of the ocean. (See the Save Farscape main page article about the FS military project.)

Paradoxically, Farscape may emerge stronger because of our reaction to its untimely demise, and what we did to fight it. Would we ever have gone to such lengths, and formed such an organized, working movement, if the show had still been on? How many of you tried this hard to spread the Scaper love when its future seemed rosy and secure? I'm sure there were some who did, but for most of us I think it was the "death" of Farscape that really caused us to come to life. When -- NOT "if" -- it returns, the world will be ready... thanks to us.

WE. ARE. FARSCAPE.

Keep the faith.

way to find the silver lining

Not only that, Haesan, but when it's back, there will be a lot of people watching it just because they want to see what all the fuss was about. They'll tune in because there was such an uproar by the fans and then they'll stay tuned in because it's such a great show.

Thank you, Haesan,

Fiona, who rather liked Firefly too, wonders why they didn't fulfill the potential in THAT series?

Well said Haesan!

Think you could be right. I got into Farscape after it was cancelled did not know this at the time when i had a couple of weeks off and watched the daily repeats on scfi. If or when the show comes back i think it will have a far larger fan base than before cancelation heres hoping :)

[Under A Dying Sun]

that deserves a big HELL YEAH.

i have full faith the show will come back - with a vengeance.

[haesan]

Thanks for all the positive responses, everyone. :D

When I posted that, I expected to get at least a few responses along the lines of, "BLASPHEMER!!!!" so I'm pleased that my true meaning was understood. I'm especially glad to hear from you, studentsteve, because you're living, typing proof of my "thesis statement." Scapers rock, don't we?

[Raina]

We surely do. ;) In all shapes, forms and species. Farscape has a better chance of coming back than most tv series'.

Haesan - well said.
Like all, I was extremely unhappy with cancellation (understatement!!). I have loved many scifi shows in my time, but I have refrained from become a trekker / trekkie, gater etc.
Since the cancellation I have become a totally obsessed Scaper. I've always loved the show since Premiere. When it was cancelled I got online, wrote letters & sent e-mails, bought merchandise, collected all 4 seasons on DVD, joined the boards and recruited new fans. This is the only show that I want to dress like a character (Aeryn's duster anyone?!).
With the exception of watching avidly (& loving every microt), I did little else for Farscape before the cancellation, so I think you've made a very good point.

Hey, it worked for Star Trek :D.
