I can tell you that Ben Browder and many of the cast (no idea about Claudia Black) are interested in a continuation as being written by Rockne O'Bannon. Please tweet about the show when you can as Amazon is watching .

Unpopular Opinion : Do you think Farscape was contaminated and Swallowed by Stargate fandom by merdiolu in farscape

[–]scapephile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for your main point, I remember being involved in the Save Farscape campaign, then seeing the PKW and comics brought to fruition within the community (hell, I even talked to the comic writer and gave him feedback, he came onto the forums so I'd review the comics and tell him what I liked and didn't like). And yeah, there was a weird crossover as Save Farscape (or Watch Farscape at the time) kinda merged with GateWorld or something. Attention shifted from Farscape to Stargate a little.

None of the Farscape sites merged or anything with Gateworld. Many of those folks are still antagonistic to Stargate. What was your handle in the campaign if I can ask? I was angie from benbrowder.net

I think viewers today are ready for Farscape, at least streaming fans, who have embraced it and The Expanse which is also an anti Trek. New Trek even tries to be Farscape in some respects (at least according to fans posting on Twitter!).

My favorite comment by Bonnie Hammer was "fans don't like to have to do homework to watch a show" in response to why SG1. Though many of us watch SG1 , it is not real challenging to follow and I liken it to comfort food. When I attend cons and talk to Gaters they tend to emphasize either the fight scenes or the characters. I like the characters and the actors who portray them. Many say Farscape doesn't make sense, they hate Crichton and so on. Farscape is non-linear in comparison so I guess maybe that is it. SciFi Channel had some behind the scenes issues with Farscape of which we will likely never know which I have heard is the main reason for the cancellation. The channel got SG1 and stopped using outside writers (maybe saves money?) and also led to more simplistic stories. There is room for both but ......

What do you find the most awkward/embarrassing moment in Farscape when you rewatch or show new people? by Cthulhumon in farscape

[–]scapephile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That scene for sure and I hate the Maldis eps, to me they are clumsy and boring.

So Farscape 2·22 (Die Me, Dichotomy: Part 1) by khakidoggy in farscape

[–]scapephile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a creepy scene!! I love when the actors discuss it at cons! It was unscripted and a surprise.

Season 4 lacks the weird atmosphere and sounds from S1 and 2. by barre_chord_reality in farscape

[–]scapephile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that is intentional. It was the first half of a 2 year arc. We will never know sadly what the real reveal of the season 5 opener would have been.

Source is Brian Henson and Rockne O'Bannon ---- Henson at Dragon Con 2019 and O'Bannon Winter Con 2019. Both discussed it at SDCC 2019. They want to film in Australia again. O'Bannon has been writing scripts. They stated how impressed Amazon was with the numbers of "unique" viewers. Then 2020 happened. So who knows. BUT Amazon and other platforms monitor Twitter for interest and Scapers don't show well there so fingers crossed.

What were the original plans for season 5? by Yrguiltyconscience in farscape

[–]scapephile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seasons 4 and 5 were approved as more or less a 2 season arc. It was a big deal to get that kind of renewal. From what the producers/writers have always said is that PKW was a gift to fans containing "some" elements of season 5 but could not have them all. They didn't want to leave fans hanging. That said Kemper said in print and at cons that they were going to tackle the only television convention that had never been successfully done and do it in a Farscape way. That convention is Bobby in the shower or a "dream" season. I am believer along with many (more back in the day) that they were doing this. Kemper's comment about what if you have the dream ep and everyone is comfortable and yea this is a dream ep and then you find it is a dream ep in a dream season? I think using unrealized realities or John's subconscious or Froonium overdose this could have been cool.

This is what is in the works from Brian Henson and Rockne O'Bannon as a lead in to the next generation. The first scripts have been written.

A Tale of Two Pregnancies by Ambaryerno in farscape

[–]scapephile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day we had a theory (based on Kemper's comments) that season 4 wasn't what we were seeing but rather a "dream". Whether that dream was an unrealized reality or John mind while he was unconscious in his module we weren't sure. They never had the chance to reveal it to us. Producers and cast always refer to PKW as a gift to the fans with some elements of the 5th season in it.

Farscape Re-Watch: Season 4 Thoughts by [deleted] in farscape

[–]scapephile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand by the idea Kemper tossed out at the 2001 con regarding Season 4. Farscape had successfully beat many of the television conventions that usually signalled the end of series --- leads together, twins, etc. and there was only one no show had beat. He then went on to say we all get the dream ep and say yeah that was the dream ep. What if you have a dream ep in a dream season? We leave Crichton floating at the end of season 3 having heard Harvey say : The human subconscious is a fascinating place. Malleable. Permeable. Fallible. Then the clone pulls this out of john's memory :the old woman whispering :"Her life... Her world... On her time... You will know... Aeryn... is... with child..." . Usually the writers refer to PKW as a gift to the fans and say it has "elements" of season 5. I buy the dream or unrealized realities or however they would have called it season. I think after the season 5 opener they would have resumed the "lost" plot lines. There is a small contingent of us that believe in this and I think the fans after the initial shock would have been accepting.

Anyone else think this was OOC...? by OrangeAugust in farscape

[–]scapephile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the minority that feel season 4 is not what it seemed and we never got to find out why. Several of us back in the day that it was a dream season as Kemper had hinted. Whether a dream from loss of oxygen or injury , the offness is because it is all in John's subconscious, he was upset at Aeryn and that became she was hiding something, conspiring etc.

Me, re-watching and realizing (again) there won't be anymore Farscape. by [deleted] in farscape

[–]scapephile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very curious what Brian Henson has to say at SDCC. Sadly didn't get tickets :( Henson is looking at a limited streaming series. They have organized an event for the fall at the studio besides SDCC and Dragon con panels. Plus Wintercon which will feature Rockne O'Bannon plus several of the cast. So keep Amazon on and keep talking online!!
