Yay! You all rock, you know that? :D

If any one is interested the thread I have started at WatchFarscape.com has the Scapers on the other end of this venture.

Seriously, for those who haven't given Farscape a try, give it a try. I was a scaper long before I was into Firefly...which is how I tumbled through a wormhole and ended up here. ;) And it also explains why I'm the "Uncharted" Outlaw!

I've seen a few Farscape episodes, and have a general idea of the plot, but I've never really been drawn into it.

However, for the sake of this little exchange program, I'll definately catch the mini.

No need to beg! Sounds like a great idea. Always willing to support quality SF, in the hope that someday the execs will get a clue and realise that at least some viewers would prefer intelligent stuff to Andromeda etc.

To be honest, I probably would've been a 'Scaper too - I liked what I saw, but never caught it regularly enough. And then it was gone, and it was too late...

Just one question... anyone any news on when it's going to be aired in the UK? I don't have access to Sci-Fi here at Uni, but for a mini-series I reckon my parents could be cajoled into recording it for me

Sadly, the BBC haven't even decided if they're going to show PK-War yet *cries heartily* And if we're waiting for Sci-Fi UK to air it... *whistles*... hope you don't mind waiting a couple years. In past, Sci-Fi UK has been about a year or just over a year behind BBC2 airing Farscape.

Anyway, that said, I am a HIGHLY dedicated Scaper, have been literally since the first time Farscape aired in the UK. Ironically, I always described Farscape to my Buffy-savvy pals as "Buffy in space".... then, along came Firefly, from none other than Joss...

I'd advise anyone to watch it, even if there wasn't a Firefly reward in it, you'd still find it enjoyable.

And for those interested, the trailer can be seen at http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/farscape

Hope to see you guys watching! And hopefully, one day I'll be able to watch it too. I've been waiting for two years for this... hopefully UK TV will one day hear my tearful plea...

I'll be honest. And I'm really stepping out here by admitting this, but I was so into Farscape that when I saw the ads for Firefly back in '02 I immediately wrote it off as a Farscape knock-off and didn't watch it. A friend showed me the pilot off the DVDs over the summer and wow, was I ever wrong!! I mean, talk about eating my own words. Firefly's awesome and I really think that if you like Firefly, you will like Farscape.

I was sorta in the same boat as you, NicolaClarke-- Farscape looked pretty cool when I ran into it, but I never saw it regularly. Since then I've seen most of the series and have been really impressed with the writing (which, incidentally, is why I adore Firefly.) And the acting is really impressive, too-- those folks got serious chops over there.

Incidentally, for those who weren't around right after Firefly was canceled, I'll mention that a bunch of the Scapers showed us a lot of love whenever we were first getting organized. I really encourage anybody on the fence to check out the miniseries.

I'm setting the TiVo right now. :)

I too am a Scaper and a Joss fan. Not only will I be willing to plunk my 9.00 down to see Serenity, I pledge to corral as many of my friends and family to go with me with the promise of really good home cooked meal if they come peacefully. They like my cooking and might do it just for the sake of the meal :)

Hello!!! The sole reason I signed on was this thread. I'm a huge scaper and somewhat of Firefly fan and I pledge that will watch serenity in the theatre at least twice and drag some friends. If it means more people watching Farscape. I will say I'm in Canada and i know it's difficult for Canadians to catch PK wars right now. So I ask you to watch and episode. It airs Saturdays at 5pm on SPACE (I don't think a lot of people know that).

I do though have a plan for some kind of public viewing in Toronto since a kind scaper is recording it on DVD for me. I'll keep you posted. :D
