If the SCIFI CHANNEL keeps with the current schedule, there are 21 weeks of FARSCAPE left . This brings us to December 14th. I'm wondering if this date in any way coinsides with any contracts that the SCIFI CHANNEL has with the show. This may seem to some to be a "long time out", but I can't help but wonder what the future of the reruns are. Perhaps we may see a return to the SUN-THURS schedule before then, and the possible final Farscape episode would air before the 14th of December. In any case, does any one know about the "rights" that the SCIFI CHANNEL holds on the show? Are we looking for a "SECOND JUDGEMENT DAY" for OUR show?

Well, I'm not sure on the contracts. However, I've seen it mentioned in a few places (not confirmed) that Skiffy's rights end around May 2004.

*You may want to cross-post this in the campaign strategizing forum.

Very interesting. If the May '04 date is correct, then it seems the the total time frame of re-run episodes does'nt add up. Wonder what "innovative schedule" is in store thru May. ( if any )

Actually, it's March 2005.... Two years after the first run of the last ep (Bad Timing - which aired this past March). No confirmation as to whether or not the number of times reruns are aired alter that timeframe, but all indications point to March '05. But, if Skiffy is sold as part of the Vivendi sale, things can change drastically.

Ah, the IDES OF MARCH. Seems somebody once warned me about that. Well any way, there is still a chance that scifi will continue to re-run episodes thru that time. (unless they hire some more "genius" programmers.) But it gives me some more time to ponder "what if?" Thanks for the info!

Just found out thru a canadian link (www.spacecast.com) that our lucky friends to the north can now see Farscape on fridays. The series started from the beginning on the 11th of this month. Can anyone out there find out the connection between the cable network in Canada and the Scifi network? It would be interesting to know. Thanks!
