The Sci-fi Channel has ordered 10 webisodes for my beloved Farscape! This is quite possibly the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of television. At last, the network has finally done something right. I have such a love/hate relationship with the Sci-fi Channel which seems to find it necessary to kill evey good science fiction show to ever cross its path and replace it with a plethora of campy television dribble and B-movies that even Roger Corman wouldn’t touch. But I digress…
The good thing about the webisodes is that it can generate interest in the series and by extension grab the attention of the suits at the network, who could funnel money into possible episodes and more movies. I would like to take a moment and thank Joe for giving me the lowdown on the best news I’ve heard all year. This small piece of information has renewed my faith in the system and given me hope that maybe good things come to those who wait.
In honor of the happy news, here’s a short clip from Season 3, Episode 8: Green Eyed Monster (one of my favorite episodes). John and Aeryn share a romantic moment.
