This link was posted on the dom. It's a picture of Darian Fawkes (the Invisable Man) watching Farscape. At the bottom it says "Hey I Was Watching That"

As a fan of both shows, I thought it was pretty cool. Anybody know who did it?

It was made by Miami mom (I think) an invisible man fan had posted this picture on the spacecast boards and I posted it in the projectscifi where's my remote section. I'm pretty sure it's Miami mom

You mean what happened to the show? Well at the time it was cancelled, I only lurked on the SciFi I-Man board so my info is based on my shady memory of things I picked up there.

Let's see. The original creator/producer argued with SciFi about how the story line should go and ended up leaving the show after the first half of the first season. He was replaced by two producers who were described as "micro-managers". SciFi wanted to reach the ever elusive "young male audience" and got the new producers to change the story line to something that would be more attractive to 14-18 year olds (ie: some of the episodes became a bit imature and lacked the quality of the earlier eps). The actors were allowed less and less input and they were not happy. The ratings also began to slip and it was cancelled with little notice. Sound familiar?

When I-Man was cancelled, I was disappointed, but I didn't join the campaign (which is still ongoing even after two years). When Farscape was cancelled, for me it was the last straw. I turned all my anger at the cancellation of both shows into energy for this campaign.

BTW - the person who posted this at the dom said that in a chat the other night with Vencent Ventresca and Paul Ben-Victor, they said that talks of an I-Man movie were definitly in the works. She didn't say if was a TV or regular movie.

Unfreaking believable.

I wish somebody would start another Scifi based channel. You could come up with multiple line-ups just from what Skiffy has screwed up.

You know, an I-man ressurection would probably be very "Spike-TV" in tone. Maybe I should stop by their site again.
