Hammer says why Farscape was cancelled

by on Jan.10, 2003, under Television

Bonnie Hammer, president of the SCI FI Channel, in an interview with TV Guide Online, stated why Farscape was cancelled – it was pure numbers, not because of Stargate SG-1. Farscape‘s costs were increasing, and the numbers dwindling, and in repeats it was getting less that half SG-1‘s numbers – which were hitting 1.8. New episodes of both air tomorrow night.

A little bit of this….

by on Jan.09, 2003, under General News

Just a quick rundown of some news items – looks like Warner Home Video is looking to release the second season of Babylon 5 at the end of April – more news (amd Amazon links) when available; I tried to avoid posting it, having heard it days ago and given the Dumbledore flap, but Gary Oldman is in talks to play Sirius Black for the next two Potter films; Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune is set for March 16th on SFC; and Ursula K. LeGuin is named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.

Fan-made Star Trek episode online

by on Jan.03, 2003, under Television

Upset that you don’t see any new episodes of the original Star Trek with those colorful shirts and Klingons without ridges? Well, just make your own – these guys did – and did a good job it seems. So good, that at the time of writing this they had to pull the video, entitled Starship Exeter: The Savage Empire, due to the high downloads (Slashdot phasers were set to stun, and Apple’s Mac.com pulled the plug). Hopefully it will be back online soon. At least the materials available show excellent quality of production.
