Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
SFC cancelled Farscape the last day of shooting the season. They are skilled at finding just the wrong time for those announcements.
That said, at least they gave the writers enough time to deal with the finale.
But I still want a space pirates show.
Isn't that exactly what the WB did to Buffy -- announced it right before the 100th-ep party?
My recollection is that UPN offered more money to ME than the WB. The WB never cancelled the show.
Re: Stargate SG1 cancelled.
Typical, just when I jumped in to start watching the show. Had to watch 200 because of the Farscape-thing and well... I liked it so much I'm piggybacking from season 9 now.
The 200 Vala/Daniel-thing, I can understand why they switched and made Daniel into Crichton storywise, and Ben's "australian accent" was a hoot, but it doesn't really help that whenever Ben and Claudia shares the screen it's still the equivalent to a nuclear explosion of chemistry.
That's too bad, although ten years is one hell of a good run. For me it just means there's nothing left I'm interested in watching on SciFi other than Eureka.

That's not the way it works. The WB chose not to pick up its option to renew the show. There was no bidding war.
DX, you don't like BSG? I adore New Who, but I'm afraid I prefer the ahemmed, uncut version.
There effectively was a bidding war for Buffy. The WB negotiated with Fox for a while and eventually offered something less than $2 million per episode, and said that was every cent they made on the show. UPN offered more.
Angel's cancellation was announced just after the 101st episode. Because Whedon asked, so I don't think the timing was their choice.
And I'm so disturbed that this guy is a Network VP:
‘Nielsen’s sampling is not representative of the larger universe yet. They’re sampling 3% and the larger [DVR] universe is something like 10 to 13%.”Yeah, that's why it's called "sampling" and not "counting." I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, and assume that he meant the sample is not representative, but then the second sentence makes no sense.
I adore New Who, but I'm afraid I prefer the ahemmed, uncut version.
Hmmm...with the new laptop and lots of memory, I'm wondering why I'm waiting to watch the cut version on SciFi.
I think he means that if you figure in the DVR usage, it should be getting a 10-13 percent share, not the reported 3 percent share.
Maybe he thinks he's using Variety-speak, or verbification.
"We're sampling at 3 percent, Bob!"
Bad news aside, was there new Venture Brothers last night?
Yes! At least, there was supposed to be. I haven't watched it yet. I should go do that.

Hm. I think that just means he's crazy in a different way than I thought.
