Morning. I feel like I ought to open with something like, "Day Four, The Farscape Crisis," the way CNN or MSNBC would do. I finally fell asleep last night about 12:30 a.m., too tired to do anything more, but angry at my own exhaustion.
The RevolutionSF.com article will be up sometime today. It was laid out last night, but hasn't gone live yet. You'll know as soon as it does.
There's a new statement from The Henson Company this morning:
"Farscape is a flagship show for The Jim Henson Company. We are proud of its achievements over the past four years, which have included international critical recognition, three Saturn Awards, and a recent Emmy nomination. As always, your show of support is a true inspiration for our company and has been integral to our success.
Although SCI FI Channel has chosen not to pick up a fifth season, The Jim Henson Company is in active development on a new Farscape film, an anime project and is currently discussing syndication of this highly acclaimed series. We are eager to move forward with the Farscape creative team in developing new projects that will resonate with our overwhelmingly loyal fan base."
As I've already said elsewhere today, it's very good to hear that such plans are being made, but, for myself, I'm nowhere close to giving up the fight to keep the series alive on television, at Sci-Fi or somewhere else. The momentum I've seen building the last four days is amazing and I thank everyone who's involved in the campaign. We just have to keep pushing, harder than we pushed yesterdy, not as hard as we'll push tomorrow.
