09/07/2002: shocked, sad and angry
David Kemper said in the #farscape chat at irc.scifi.com yesterday that Farscape has been canceled and that the sets are scheduled to be torn down at the end of next week. Chainsaws to Moya indeed.
Since I'm not in the US I always feel helpless and not of much use during any campaign to prevent cancellation, and I have to admit that I never did anything before (hangs head in shame), not even for The Sentinel. But I just sent an email and also a fax to the Sci-Fi Channel, because, damn, it is Farscape and it is a horrible thought that its story lines won't be finished. Based on what was said in the chat, David Kemper and all involved in production were also counting on a fifth season, so if the Sci-Fi Channel sticks with the cancellation, we will be left with a lot of unresolved things, maybe even a cliffhanger.
So everybody call, send a telegram, fax, write letters, email... (civil and polite, of course, for best impact)
Addresses are (I got them from the Farscape Ultimate BBoard, from the cancellation thread :
