I just recently got hooked on Farscape, and after about three to six episodes, the scifi channel stopped airing them. Is the series on haiatus now, and if so, when will it continue to air.
Also, is farscape in syndication yet anywhere?

First to get the final 4 are, bizarrely enough, Israeli TV by a couple of days. Then the BBC, we've had 319 and 320 this week with 321 and 322 next week. Ha, we rock, you suck, I'll try not to spoil your asses into oblivion. 8)

OK, the deal with the scheduling is apparently thus: When a season starts, we get the new eps first, much like other shows. Everyone else picks up, say, a couple months behind us. But the trick is, just before their customary slam-bang final-four arc, they go on a LOOOONG break. Here. Everywhere ELSE the schedule continues on like normal. So we get most of the season first, but we get the final arc last.
I think this season's final arc should be on in April or something, no?

The first new episode of "Farscape" is coming on April 5. They'll be showing the previous episode, 3x18 - "Fractures" the previous week. (That's the last week of March.)
I'm a recent convert, too -- I watched the reruns on Sci-Fi when they started in September. You have no idea how pissed I was when they finished the run and I found out I had to wait five more months.
I sure pity the American fans who've been watching all along...
The bad news, as I recall, is that Sci-Fi will only be showing the last four episodes of the third season, and then will be going on another break. Don't know for sure how long it will be, I recall reading somewhere that the fourth season will begin in June.

I finally got cable when I moved back in October. I decided I'd start watching B5, even though I missed the first season-and-a-half, because it would take so long to get to the end and start over. But, since "Farscape" was only three seasons, I figured I could wait until the end of the year when they would finish up and presumably start over.

Oh, yes. At least it has over here. As far as I'm aware seasons 1 & 2 are both available, and 3 should start coming out soon.
And, heh heh. There's some good stuff for you to look forward to. 319 seemed to me a bit hit & miss, developing on what plans they were making at the end of 318 which you've all seen; 320, well, that just kicks things into overdrive. }B)

I could never get addicted to Farscape. I've tried several times to watch a couple episodes to get into it. I like it, it's funny... but I never felt the need to watch like SG-1, Enterprise or Buffy.

To tell you the truth, I don't think that Farscape is anything like Buffy or SG-1. Sure, they have lots of make-up like in Buffy, but does it have a crappy "monster of the week" storyline to make the show suck? Now while I enjoy the toying of mythology as a basis for interstellar life, I think that they took too much liberty in creating a spin-off of the movie.
But I'm not here to bash on other TV shows. Besides, I still watch said shows casually from time to time.

I merely using it as an example. When Sci-Fi started to re-air Farscape from the beginning I watched it for about a couple weeks. But when FX re-aired Buffy, I felt a greater need to watch it every day and didn't want to miss it.
However, IMO, I would rate SG-1 over Farscape. As well as Babylon 5. It's not like I didn't try to give Farscape a chance though.

And 322 was. . . different. EXTREMELY powerful stuff, the cliffhanger sure tops last season's. Sets up a few conditions for season 4, following the resolution of certain plotlines in 321. I'll say no more than that. 8)
