Excuse me while I go do a happy happy joy joy dance for a moment…
ok I’m back! 
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars will be a 4 hour mini-series based upon what was planned for the 5th and final season of farscape. That was before the ass-hats at Sci-Fi went and cancelled it. The main goal though is that they are able to clean up the cliffhanger that was left at the end of season 4.
Not much about the story is known but as time goes I’m sure the plot will get leaked. Of course the obvious thing and in my mind all that I really care about is that Aeryn will have the baby. Probably not until the end of the mini-series but I don’t think they would skip this one crucial and important area. They know every fan wants to see that baby.
Anyways, I’m just really excited and can’t wait. It’s been over a year and a half since the series was cancelled. It was announced on Friday, September 6th, 2002 for those that didn’t know. This was in the middle of the 4th season and just a few months after SciFi had made a big announcement about being excited to renew for the 4th and 5th season, which would be the last.
In this time the fan base has done an amazing job at mobilizing and working to get the show back. They’ve spent both time and money, something like over $150,000.00 I’ve read. Several full page ads were bought in magazines and newspapers, radio and even tv spots were produced to get the word out. When the first groups mobilized I did help out a bit. I wrote letters to way to many tv execs and hung out in chat rooms for the first few months. After a while though I did pretty much give up hope. I still stopped by the SafeFarscape/WatchFarscape website every once in a while but that was about it.
So remember to watch starting Sunday, October 17, 2004 at 9:00pm eastern.
