I posted this on Kansas last march, and I wanted to share it again, since there are soooo many new fans.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Need some inspiration?

Ben Browder: "Farscape will come back because enough people will watch it, and because the people who invested in it will want to make a return on their money,' he said." -- Ventura County Star
and
"It [Farscape] will remain a possibility someone sees a financial incentive to do it. Hollywood is forever digging up old shows and franchises, and hopefully, Farscape will continue to garner new viewers on DVD and syndication." --TV Guide Online

Chat 9/10/02:
(DK) "Hope" is a word you will find in all of my scripts.
(DK) I give it to Crichton whenever I can.
(DK) I always have hope.
(DK) Yesterday I had less hope.
(DK) Today I had more.
(DK) You get the idea.

"We haven't given up yet, and neither should you.
We believe in you too." Andrew Prowse, PRODUCER & DIRECTOR

XenaJules, DK and host on Interstellar Transmissions: 8)
DK: Well, first of all, hello to Hell.
DK: And I would encourage pretty much all the listeners, if you do get to Michigan, to go to Hell.
XJ2: Absolutely.
Host: Is it true that Hell freezes over?
XJ2: Yes, oh absolutely.
DK: I've been up there--
Host: Then the show will be back on then.

And:

DK: "The creative people who make Farscape haven't burned their notes. We've saved the costumes, we've saved the prosthetics, we've saved all the props. Only the sets are down. The module's been saved. The prowler's been saved. All that stuff exists. Farscape isn't necessarily dead. It's just taken a vacation."

And who can forget THIS:
10/31/02 Tiriel: "So I'm talking to this lady trying to convince her just how awesome the show is and I turn to [friend], because I'm out of fliers and there is *this guy* standing next to the Scorpy poster, and he's a really great lookalike of John, leather-jacket and all and I'm thinking "Whoa, maybe we can get him to come along! He really looks like John." ... "Hmm, he really, really, REALLY looks like John... no... wait a minute... FRELL! It's Ben Browder hanging out with his buddies. He told us he saw the HUGE Scorpy poster and just had to come over!"

December: the Mobile Register
'"Farscape" isn't going quietly into the night, however. I've written before about the enterprising efforts of some of the show's most ardent fans to keep it going. They've organized an Internet campaign and have gotten a great deal of publicity from industry and mainstream publications, as well as from TV news organizations including CNN.

Now they've taken an unprecedented step forward by producing and paying for a TV commercial telling about "Farscape" and their efforts to save the show. The ad ran last week in 24 major cities.

I've never seen anything like it, but then I've never seen a TV series that's quite like "Farscape." The show deserves a fifth season and beyond.'

November 02: Convention reports --
Wayne tells fans that Henson won't let him keep Scorpy's boots because they are being held for two years, "in case he needs to wear them again." Anth says he will only do prosthetics again for D'Argo. Claudia comments on her leather pants, saying "It may be a while before you see me in them again."

How about this?

KFC informed fans that, per our request, they contacted UPN back in November to let them know they would follow the show if UPN picked it up.

"We will continue until one of the following things happens:
1. Farscape is picked up by somebody, anybody; or
2. David Kemper tells us to stop." --Staff of Save Farscape
:kick:

[i]"And if I'VE underestimated your passion, what must a little cable channel's offices in New York be feeling right about now? Perhaps 'Oops'?" David Kemper, Farscape Magazine, Issue 10 page 65.

Matt Roush. :-* No need to say more.

"...like any strong family, we'll stream toward home if the call goes out." DK, Season 4 Companion, Feb. 2003

"We need only stay diligent and keep watching the stars. And one future night there will come a familiar flash, an undulating blue tunnel will appear, and Moya will come racing into our lives once again." Rockne O'Bannon, Season 4 Companion, Feb. 2003
:hug:
And finally, again, Ben Browder:
"Thank you...from the bottom of my heart!"
:hug2: ..at the Saturn Awards, May 2003

Are you with me? Who's ready to get to work? Can I get a HELL YEAH?
GO SCAPERS!!!!!!!!

and from some of Farscape's advertisers recently:
Posted by Kerlin in the responses to letters thread in advertisers subsection:
Gilette

stlscape, 4/09/03:

quote:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hooray to Gillette. I received this response from Gillette:

"Thak you for your letter. I really appreciate your support of RG Xtreme.

We will be sure to let UPN know of your interest in Farscape."

It was signed in pen with the name Joseph Scalzo; he is listed as the corporate president.
------------------------------------------------------------------------



Akimbo:
A very nice letter from UPS today:

"Thank you for your recent letter regarding "Farscape" on the Sci-Fi Channel. Your letter makes it clear that you are dedicated fans of the show, and that's the sort of view conviction and interest level we seek when purchasing television advertising.

The SciFi Channel's decision to cancel new episodes of Farscape in 2004 was certainly unfortunate for its fan base. If the show is reinstated or moved to another network, we will most certainly consider buying it again for UPS advertising.

Thank you again for your passionate letter, and we wish you success with your campaign to save this show.

Sincerely,
Rick Radermacher
National Advertising Manager"

Grapeshot:
I got the SAME letter from UPS!!! And it was signed by a REAL person!! It's a very nice letter, and quite the nicest one I received.

Thanks for the quotes, Boo.... the ones from the
Season 4 Companion made me get all misty-eyed.
That's one more thing I love about this show.... the
cast consider themselves a family. That bond
definitely shows in each episode!

We are Scapers, hear us roar!

How weird is it that we have enough faith in DK that we /know/ that if there's no hope left he'd tell us to stop?

Not weird. Think of it this way... how bad would it be for him if we were spinning our wheels all this time, he knew it, and 4500 people found out her knew it? he has too much respect for us -- our intelligence, our loyalty and our community -- to hurt us that way.

DK never has lied to us before. DK also has a thing about hope -- it means something to him personally. That is what he imbues into Crichton, what brings him to life. The same thing happens to Scapers.

A lot of people have been wrong about a lot of things, and a lot of people have lied to us. None of them have been DK.

I wish I knew more people like that.

Respect for intelligence & not lying... these are things that don't seem to come freely in the industry in this day & age. Unfortunately it seems as if everyone's out to one-up the next guy. What happened to good old fashioned values & morals? You know, people making an agreement with a handshake kind of thing? I know you need to get it in writing, but it was the character & spirit and intent of the old handshake deals that is sadly lacking. In that respect DK & the rest of the Farscape team are shining beacons of HOPE. Thank you all for letting us know we're not the only (as I quote uisceboo) "dopeless hope fiend(s)."
