The 2 year anniversary of this campaign is coming up. The idea was born in Birmingham,England the first weekend in June at a panel featuring Ben Browder. He was very serious in his sentiments. A couple of fellow Scapers said he was looking at you, he wants you to do something. I laughed, they persisted. I made my way over to where he was speaking to a few fans and asked him point blank. Someone (I think @sarascaper?) posted the moment on Twitter . ^^CORRECTION^^ The photo is from fan Myra in the UK who also sent me this second one!!! Many thanks!

Later I emailed him and asked if he was serious. He was and thought a grassroots campaign would be the most effective, like the Save Farscape one. After I returned home, I had not stopped thinking of this all weekend. I contacted two friends who had a lot of years in TV/film marketing and ran the idea by them. Avenging Angel, who was the brains behind benbrowder.net ‘s ads gave me a few dos and don’ts in today’s industry. I registered this website though I knew the “boards” of old were pretty much gone. Many of the new Farscape fans found their way to the show years after the show ended via streaming. I personally had many reservations and many qualms about my favorite characters being tarnished. I did however take to heart Ben’s belief that Brian Henson and Rockne O’Bannon were on board to tell more stories. Not a reboot. Many large groups of fans are listed on Facebook with more joining groups every day. Many on Reddit. Many on tumblr. Sadly these get minimal attention via a metrics measuring. Twitter is used as a real time “pulse”.  The Farscape presence has always been there though you have to “look” for it. Many Scapers prefer the comfort of Facebook. The general Farscape conversations on Twitter continue to grow. Last summer at Dragon Con Brian Henson did a panel that made me far more confident. He made it fairly clear “when” he does more Farscape it will be a limited series so they can tell the story the way they want. There was not the usual talk of “if” they can get funding but the distribution platform. This past March marked the 20th Anniversary of Farscape. Brian Henson did a Q&A on the official Farscape Facebook page .  The official page has also adopted the #FarscapeNow hashtag. In Denver last month Ben Browder addressed the question again .

A Farscape Reunion will happen at Winter Con in NYC in November. Rockne O’Bannon is attending (schedule permitting). Brian Henson is returning to Dragon Con in August. They are happy to see the interest and like Ben Browder feel Farscape would find a warm welcome today. So if you want more #farscapenow follow @farscapenow on Twitter and use your hashtags!! #Farscape #FarscapeNow !!! If not, your choice but you might want to unfollow @farscapenow and skip arguing why. Share your favorite moments from the show instead!
