My sincerest condolences to Farscape fans. However, I'm going to give those running the Sci-Fi channel the benefit of the doubt and assume they are reasonably competently-trained knowitalls when it comes the ins and outs of television production these days. And so I imagine this was a rather large and well-considered decision on their part. Yes, I'm hopelessly naive, but that's not a crime. What I'm saying is that it's more than a tiny bit petulant to turn around and tell these guys "look, I know thirty people online who really like this show, so clearly your balance sheets are lying and there's no way that you can conclude that the channel's interests would be best served with its timeslots and money invested elsewhere." The fan petition was a groovy thing back in 1968. The television environment was of course considerably less forgiving back then, too, when shows were usually cancelled for running a low profit margin rather than an actual loss. In any case, aspiring Bjo Trimbles probably need a reality check. The petition is groovy and hip no more. Like, soooo out, and all that. And if a cable channel in need for a flagship show won't hang on to either of its two shows that come closest to that today (SG1 and FS), there's really no point to fighting the cancellation decision, because one can only assume this came about from an excessively deep pool of red ink.
