Just read the article, was going to post it if it hadn't already been.

Wonder where he got his information from?

"Farscape: Peacekeeper War"
STATUS: Premieres in late 2004 on the Sci-Fi Channel.

Though it never got beyond a cult status even in the rarefied world of sci-fi fandom, the Jim Henson Company’s “Farscape” developed a reputation among its fans as a haven of intelligent storytelling. It returns from cancellation limbo briefly later this year for a four-hour miniseries that will pick up right after the final episode of the series’ original run.

[Martincore]

Hey! Stargate: Athlantis is in the lead, here! It would be nice if everybody would vote... please!

[BaseLine]

Farscape has beaten Enterprise for the time being. Only Stargate is doing better.

[Jeff O'Connor]

Good to hear, BaseLine. Keep it up, 'Scapers, I don't think I need to remind anyone that MSNBC.com is a big site frequented by a lot of people.

[Doc Holiday]

Just voted. We must press on. Vote VOTE VOTE.

[scaperbuddy]

Atlantis is beating us and we are tied with enterprise.

[Athlantis]

voted!!! 18%, SG has 20%, almost there!!!!

[grinner]

maybe we should have tied them up tighter... so they didn't get loose:D:D:D

Still won't let me vote. Emptied out my cookies and still get an error message.

OK, Farscape's close to winning, but look, "None of the above, it's a sad time for sci-fi fans" is just behind it. That's not good! Those people need to know about Farscape!

[Martincore]

*Bump* Please vote :)

[Moks]

I like this though:

"'Buffy' is long gone, and the 'Angel' TV series just had a stake driven through it. 'Farscape' was cancelled long ago, and the 'Star Trek' franchise has for years been zooming at Warp Nine to the Suckitude Galaxy."

That's the first paragraph of the article. It's cool how obviously the writer knows that Farscape was an awesome sci-fi show, one of the greats.

[Martincore]

yet he still seems to think Stargate: Athlantis will be better than PK Wars... shame on him!

[Kent]

yet he still seems to think Stargate: Athlantis will be better than PK Wars... shame on him!


Let's scape him then!!

[Martincore]

good idea! perhaps we can find his e-mail address somewhere... I'll check!
edit: nope, couldn't find it...

anyway... vote!

[Farscape Forever]

I voted! My vote was for.. umm.. uh.. hrmm... that show... umm..... F... Farscape thats it :D

[blueaeryn]

Down by 1 percent. Keep voting.

BA

[Antrobus]

My memory is going! I just voted three times because I couldn't remember if I'd voted or not ;)

Sad that currently 18% think there's nothing upcoming of interest. If it weren't for Farscape I'd vote for Earthsea. Seems like no one is voting for that.

I'd really like to know why Stargate has such a following. To me its about one step above Andromeda!

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

Voted. How often can you vote? Legally...LOL! ;)

Girlie :curtsey:

[Antrobus]

Well, if you have a bad memory and can't remember if you've voted or not, just keep voting! (Have to clear those c**kies first)! :rolleyes:

[Centurion]

Voted, at the moment one percent behind Startgate Atlantis (I thought it was SG1 or have the changed the setting/characters??)

~Cent~

[Jeff O'Connor]

It's a spinoff show that will air alongside SG-1.

[Bargaintuan]

I voted for Doctor Who. After all, it's been a long, long time. I'm really waiting for what comes after "The Peacekeeper Wars". ;)

BTW, I thought Farscape fans were supposed to be smart. The word is "losing" --with one O. I see this misspelled all over the Web, and it really rubs me the wrong way. I mean, come on! We can spell "Aeryn", "Zhaan" and "T'raltixx", but we can't spell a frelling everyday word like "lose"?

Sorry B, some of us are just plain stupid and cannot spell everyday words. We may also not have English as our first language which, everyone knows, significantly descreases one's IQ.

[scaperbuddy]

Maybe they just hit a key twice and it wasn't a mispell after all! Just trying to be nice! I do hit keys twice alot because of my long nails. I need to vote on my friends pc because they aren't a scaper and don't like sci-fi.

[dzelika]

it ticked me off because it is an incredibly inconsiderate and offensive statement. i hope that we all remember that scapers are not only smart (my being an exception) but also KIND to one another.

[grinner]

we are?

[Ploppy the Kalish]

Now let's play nice kids. Think about what your arguing over. Yep that's right. NOTHING!

[La Bomba]

grinner takes great pleasure in :poke:. But he's harmless. Well, mostly. ;)

I do? I am? :nana:

Sorry B, some of us .... just plain ..... cannot spell everyday words. We may also not have English as our first language .....

Okay that's a valid point, but very few people have a computer without some kind of word processing software which always has a spell-checker. If one is notoriously bad at spelling, one should use the word processing software to write a response and then cut and paste it to the reply section and spare all of us the pain of misspelled words.

[Digger]

Voted again. (shh, I deleted my cookies so I could vote a second time. bad Digger?)

Oh, and the spelling thing; I joke about spelling all the time (see the Haiku thread last week for an example). I also make spelling mistakes all the time. Not because I can't spell, but because my typing skills are lousy. Case in point. In the last sentence I originally spelled the word because wrong, switching the a and u. Sometimes I catch the mistakes, sometimes I don't. But since this forum hasn't got a spell check function I try not to get too anal about it, although once in a while I shake my head when I see words like "their" spelled "there" or "you're" spelled "your". But, as has been said, sometimes we either have a brain-fart or english simply is not the first language. It happens to the best of us.

Edited because (yup, you guessed it) of a spelling mistake.

[grinner]

at least spelling errors are not as bad as someone writing before... b4. or hate... h8 or the like. I loathe those more than anything.

[Bargaintuan]

Oh, God, yes!

The only thing I hate worse that "loosing" is "neone". There's simply no excuse for that.

"Loosing" has been a pet peeve of mine ever since I started surfing the Web.

Anyway, to bring this thread back to the topic, go Farscape!

And please don't vote more than once. If someone gets caught, they might reset the voting or worse, disqualify Farscape. It makes us look much worse than any misspelling ever could.

It actually wouldn't be dyslexia... it would be dysgraphia (http://www.as.wvu.edu/~scidis/dysgraphia.html).

dyslexia is switching words/letters while reading...
