Just has a very positive thing happen and wanted to share.

One of my jobs is in sales at a major retail company. We carry electronics, media like the Farscape dvds, etc. This past Saturday, I was in and talked to three people in my department as a sort of follow-up.

You see, two weeks before I had mentioned Farscape and savefarscape.com. One of my buddies is a huge sci-fi fan, and a Trekker, but never watched Farscape. In the span of two weeks, he had tuned in to the final episode. And he was upset... after one episode, after the ending. I even gave him my DVD so he could watch the premier. Since then, he has purchased the Season 1 box set and plans to watch the reruns.:)

Bud #2 actually brought up the final episode to me! He was pissed, using frelling bad language with customers around. He was especially enraged at the 'To Be Continued.' I told him about this site, and though he won't tell me his handle, he has stopped by, posted and plans to begin writing letters! He has also pledged.
:D


Bud #3 is a guy who believes nothing can ever compare to Star Trek. He doesn't like Farscape, but I did convince him to stop by here and look around.:aok:

Every day and every little bit helps. I was not always convinced of that, but decided to try. And this happened!! I just thought I would share that. There are so many out there that would love to 'Share the wonders' we all have seen.

They just may not know it yet!

(Anyone else have similar positive signs, I for one would love to hear about it)

YOU GO, itsrog2u!!! My bro-in-law didn't realize there was a save farscape site until this weekend when we celebrated his birthday! I knew he was also a fan of the show, but hey, better late than never. He also wrote to someone (it escapes me now, I was just so jazzed telling him about brascape & watching the rest of the family with their mouths hanging open in amazement) about the cancellation and hoping for a renewal/pickup by someone, anyone. Keep on keeping on, and there are lots of good vibes around here! WELCOME TO THE SANITY!
Also, when I was picking up DVDs for another in-law, talked w/the folks behind the counter @ Suncoast about brascape & our site here, they were cracking up, they were OBVIOUSLY fans, but the really funny part was the guy behind me giving me the strangest look! I left the store hoping that, if nothing else, he'd log on to here & see what all the furor is about, making a seemingly rational woman send in undergarments over a stupid comment made by a TV exec! You never know where the next "convert" will be. Keep it up! :D

big hug, itsrog2u!

Just keep working at it. The more fans we make the more audience there is for Farscape. And that's what the networks and movie studios want to hear.

*blushes* Thanks you two.

I plan to keep it up. I am working on getting the funds together for one of those Carscape ads for the back of my s-10. Its a little confusing to order though.

After hearing some of the bickering at other boards, I love tuning in here for the positive energy. And I love hearing positive stories. It really helps. Thanks again!

I replied on the Dom, but since trolls tried to take over the thread, I thought I'd say "good job!" here, too! Newbies are necessary to the cause. I hate to think of their first experience with the fandom being the Dom! Good for you for sending them here!

hugs! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
