Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

'Objects In Space'


Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Hey! If there's a next time, I'm sure you'll remember him.

Shortly after it was cancelled, the rights to an animated version of Farscape were for sale. Or, um, something like that. I'm hazy on the details now, but there was definitely a Hollywood Reporter-ish blurb about an animated version. It could be that they're keeping that idea alive, although personally I hope not.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Hee!

Sunday, Oct. 17: Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (Sci-Fi, 7 p.m.) Part 1 of 2: Galactic war erupts between Scarrans and the Peacekeepers, who really ought to rethink that name. Meanwhile, wackiness erupts with John and Aeryn’s unborn child, Skeeter.

I totally want the kid to be named Skeeter. Hey, I know! It could be a capybara! Named Skeeter.

Hey, Strega, are you guys going to do recaps for Farscape?

What? What'd I say?

FanimarScape, anyone?

Yeah, there was some discussion about an animated version, but it seems to have been dropped (thank heavens). There's also a couple issues of a comic book out there as well.

I wonder if the Hensons will resurrect the moribund magazine and book series. Not that that's necessarily a good thing: the authorized Farscape fiction has been generally appalling.

However, they could go a different way. A British publisher, Fandemonium, is producing new Stargate novels written by fan writers. Julie Fortune's got a Stargate novel coming out this month or next, and from what I've seen it promises to be good. God knows she's got a much better handle on the characters and their voices than most professional writers, and she has a track record of writing excellent plot-heavy gen, which is just what you'd need for such an enterprise.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Peacekeeper Wars DVD, btw, is being released by Lions Gate, not ADV, and they're hoping for a December release so that people will still have the show fresh in their minds, and want to buy it. But nothing's set in stone yet.

Excellent news, Jessica.

Also? David Bianculli loved the mini. He's my One True NPR TV Guy -- I remember back in 1998 when he was pimping Buffy. Rock on.

December? Wicked frelling awesome.
