offtopic Dos nuevas oportunidades para Farscape

[J.J. Cabrejas]

Hola a todos,

Rockne O'Bannon, creador de "Farscape", ha estado pasándose por algunos
foros y dejando caer algunas indicaciones a los fans, sobretodo en lo
referente a la canalización de la rabia del fandom.

Al parecer, tanto UPN como TNT podrían estar interesadas: la TNT quiere
llenar el hueco dejado por "Witchblade" mientras que la UPN está buscando
alguna compañera ci/fi para "Enterprise", de modo que a lo mejor no está
todo perdido.

Así mismo, Showtime (siempre según las cábalas de O'Bannon, que
probablemente sepa más del mundo de las productoras que los aficionados de a
pie) podría ser una buena "nueva casa" para Farscape, a juzgar por la nueva
dirección "fantacientífica" de la cadena, con "Jeremiah" y "Odissey 5"

Ya veremos que pasa. Un saludo,
Juanjo

PD: El mensaje original dice:

--------------
In additional to letter/fax/etc. campaigns aimed at the Sci-Fi Channel, fans
should also express their passion about the show to UPN, TNT, and Showtime.

UPN is actively seeking a science fiction companion piece to Enterprise, and
Farscape airing with a hit like Enterprise could keep it on for years to
come.

TNT is looking for a new genre series, now that Witchblade is off, and an
award-winning, "the best sf series on tv" with a built-in audience might
really appeal to them. TNT has expressed some initial interest in the idea
of bringing the series over to their network, and a flood of
fan support would certainly help there.

And Showtime is clearly a place where science fiction has a healthy home
(Odyssey 5, Jeremiah) and they may also take a serious look if there were a
strong enough demand shown for it.

I know there's been a scattering of postings on message boards about writing
to other networks, but most fans are directing their attention solely to
Sci-Fi Channel, and with the current regime at Sci-Fi, it's a long shot that
they'll reverse themselves.

I'd love to see fans aiming their passion at these other networks, as well.
If ...[you] could get the word out that the head of drama development at
these three networks should also be given the full-court press as much as
the Sci-Fi Channel, it might really mean something.
