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?
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.
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.
Ooh, that's excellent news. . .
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.
