[QUOTE="wolff96, post: 786495, member: 342"] While I can't easily cancel the Sci-Fi Channel, they have managed to whittle down the number of shows I watch... to one. I still like Stargate: SG-1 (In fact, it's been a big influence on my Planescape campaign), but they have managed to cancel, destroy, or remove all the value from every other show I have ever liked on that channel. As I mentioned in my letter -- the one I sent in hopes of making them reconsider pulling the Farscape plug -- I am in their prime demographic. I am a 25-year old male with a college education and a lot of disposable income. And I would never, ever buy anything advertised on that damn network because they kill everything I have ever loved on television (which wasn't much to begin with). And I know I'm not alone here at ENWorld. I just do not understand AT ALL the logic that would cancel a wonderful series like Farscape and replace it with the unmitigated CRAP that a series in the Tremors universe will be. My god, out of three movies -- and a new one coming that won't even get a theatrical release! -- couldn't they have realized by now that only ONE of those movies was worth a 4 dollar matinee ticket?? And yet, even in the twilight season when they are crunched for time and don't have much money, the Farscape team manages to turn in a wonderful swan song... great acting, good FX, and excellent writing leading up to... the worst cancellation cliff-hanger ever put onto celluloid. I agree with jdavis: Once you hear you won't get a fifth season, leave off that 1 minute clip at the end. Even having the ship fly over -- leaving them in danger -- would have been far, far better. I will truly miss Pilot, John, Aeryn, D'Argo, Chiana, and the rest of the memorable cast... and Harvey/Scorpius. I'll miss you most of all, Harvey. If ever there was a character that I really aspired to recreate in D&D, it would be Scorpius. Can you imagine a better villain/ally/informer/torturer/WHATEVER to trick, befuddle, confuse, outwit, and hamper PCs? If I can ever make a villain 1/5 as good as Scorpius, I will hang up my hat and never DM again... for I will have achieved Nerdvana. I will be one with the dice. -------------------------------------- Look Upward! [/QUOTE]
