I loved Farscape and they replaced it with what looks to be a X-Files rehash. Somebody has lost their mind.

By the way, some Farscape fans are trying to bring it back on the air: http://www.watchfarscape.com/

Also, it gets worse, Sci-fi is making a Tremors TV Series that takes place after the third Tremors movie.

Here is the link: http://www.scifi.com/tremors/welcome/

The only good news about that is that both the original creators of the Tremors movies are making it. And that the actors from the third movie, including Michael Gross (actor who plays Burt Gummer) are returning to be in it.

Now, even though the Tremors movies were B movies, I still liked them and even the third movie had it's moments: namely the first five minutes when Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) is grinning ear-to-ear while manning that dual-50mm gun-turret.

That one scene alone makes the entire third movie worth renting.

Who knows, maybe that show (Tremors, not Taken) will turn out to be a classic.

It was slick for the first few minutes (the B-17 scenes) but went downhill after that. The previews remind me of the show "Dark Skies". This movie will confirm to all that Spielberg has lost it (we already knew that).


Sorry to see that about "Farscape". Sci fi is going to show the last 11 episodes already in the can then it's over. I was mad that they also cancelled "Lexx". It wasn't for everyone but it was still a fun ride.

Farscape was a great series, but to be truthful, the writing at the end really really stunk. The cure was to hire better writers, not hire Spielberg.

Farscape wasn't cancelled, it will be back in Jan 2003.
