Are you tired of seeing show after show brought back by Netflix,Amazon or Hulu but not YOUR favorite ? Scapers it is time to rise up. In these trying times we need something to get us through and that is Moya and her crew. There is interest from the cast and writers to return to the Uncharted Territories. We need to show Brian Henson and producers/distributors that we have grown in numbers around the globe and are eager to watch. A multi-pronged attack is needed. Social media attracts the attention these days of both the makers and fellow fans. There will be a list of entities to tweet, email, tag on tumblr or any other social media you use. It is important that the messages include when /how you became a fan and your geographical location. Age is not as important as it use to be with broadcast but feel free to mention it! There is a belief that there aren’t that many “new” fans. As someone who attends cons and goes on social media looking for Farscape I know this to be untrue! The other part of this attack involves old school mailing. Yes you will need to get a stamp and a post card (preferrably showing your town) and mail it to the Henson Company. Best to include how/when you started watching and age if you choose. This part of the attack we will try and have a narrow window so it will be obvious it is part of an organized effort. We do encourage all around the world to participate as streaming shows are often sold to international channels and released on dvd. Shows that have world wide appeal are better “risks”.
The other prong is to get word out to your favorite TVbloggers that you want them to write about Farscape and why it needs to be brought back. Whether it be Matt Roush,EW, TVAddict —- follow them and Tweet or comment. Get Farscape on their radar!
This is a grassroots endeavour. So use your creativity and your other fandoms. I always get a surprise when I mention Farscape in other fandoms (even non scifi ones!) that I encounter other Farscape fans! So get them to retweet you (even if you have to return the favor by retweeting something that isn’t your passion 🙂
Sherry Dixon says: Bring it back! Great work, loved the show!
Mars hill says: I’d love more Farscape and joined the campaign to get the fifth season. At least we got Peacekeeper Wars. I was also part of the small international group that wrote Farscape Virtual Season 5. Unfortunately Freewebs will no longer allow access. It was great fun. I printed all 22 eps and made them into a book which I gave to Rockne at the 2007 con. From Mars
This is a series that I have on my phone. I have the entire series on my phone. I watch them over and over. I really do think that Farscape can be continued as the story can be easily extended. This is a series I am totally behind. With the cast still available and technology capable of creating anything, there could be another 10 seasons. I have been pushing this reboot for years now. I have a SWTOR(Star Wars The Old Republic) and Dota 2(Farscape Guild) Guilds. I also have a Facebook page for this as well. PLEASE REBOOT OR CONTINUE THE SERIES.
With al the reboots and continuations going on…..this should be an easy fix. They even made the Peacekeeper Wars due to fans pushing for it. Over the years Farscape has gotten many thousands of new viewers and cannot understand why this series was cut. It is even more popular than it was before. I am sure that they can continue it as many of my friends and fans have discussed the possibilities for future episodes.
