So I just got an email from a Scaper about a new project Anth Simcoe is involved in, called "Eddie's Place in Space". It's a sci-fi comedy set in a bar on a space station, and the cast includes Anth, Lani Tupu, and Jonathan Hardy. The effects team and crew include a bunch of the Farscape technical folks.
It came with photographs that look, well, entertaining. Apparently the show is being shopped internationally and they're hoping to capitalize on Scaper loyalty. Which is nice, and god knows Anth is terribly talented, but it totally depends on the quality of the writing.
suela, that's GREAT! I hope it works out for them and they can sell it. I'd tune in, of course.
This from the person that used to watch Quark.
OMG, I loved Quark. I think it was before its time.
I still have a vivid memory of the plant guy lying on the floor with his legs in the air, going "beeeeeeee".

Heavens, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one!
I don't remember much about the show, but I do remember being upset when it was cancelled.
I'd say I was surprised to find so many Quark fans out there if not for that darned buffista serendipity. It's kind of neat.
The Bettys!
Betty One: You're the clone.
Betty Two: No, YOU are.
Together, to Ficus: Plant!
I loved Quark, that poor, short-lived show.
I mourn its loss--along with Max Headroom--as sci-fi way before its time.
Finally. I'm caught up.
John and Aeryn were perfect. Crazy, fierce, in love. Most of the schmoop passed me by, but when Aeryn said
"Shooting makes me feel better."
and during the battle montage when she was
toting a kid in one arm and killing with the other hand
I did weep. It's a cruel beauty, the sort that hits me the hardest.
I think I missed some of the details -- they explained why Grayza's
pregnancy was different from Aeryn's?
I'm pretty sure the wind in space was never covered, nor the convenient parcelling of the crystallisation.
Rygel wasn't bad -- mostly I was irritated at Stark. God, was I irritated at Stark.
