You're 4 years short and a proper budget short of my admiration.

What's the budget going to be for this new 'web-ivision' series? $10k an episode?

I'm sorry – do it right, or don't do it at all.

If you're really desperate for viewer now that your beloved SG-1 is gone and your other new series aren't drawing an audience – Painkiller Barbie and the Dresden Circular File – you're just going to have to do better.

And I'm pretty sure the advertising revenue on webisodes is pretty weak.

Crichton and Aeryn most likely won't be cast. And they shouldn't be. They're more associated with SG-1 now, though I'm sure Farscape fans would argue this.

I'd like to see a whole new angle on the Farscape universe. Something unusual, something unexpected. Hopefully that's what these webisodes will be. I'll check it out.

However, with Babylon 5 and Stargate SG1 returning as DTV productions, I really hope these webisodes are a precursor/testing of the waters for some larger new Farscape project, but we'll see. At least there's going to be *SOME* new Farscape! Now we just need D'Argo to come back to life. :(

Dargo : Indeed

Crichton : Say, did I mention we had a delicious low calorie soft drink on my planet with that name?

Dargo : Many times now.

Crichton : Man, I could do with a long cold Pepsi right now.

On length- The reason short lived series are loved is that the shorter the series, provided it was well made, then there is a high chance of the quality being consistently high without any burn out. This is especially true of comedy. Course the flipside of this is that sometimes programmes need to find their feet.

I know it was cancelled, I just didn't know when.

Wasn't me that bought up the short lived thing- but there is a grain of truth to it.

There are many of us who have expendable income without high speed internet for various reasons.

I for one live in an area that makes it difficult to get anything but dial-up,

and a friend of mine is married and can't justify the cost of DSL to his wife, yet she's cool with buying dvds.

The group of characters (and living ships) Crichton encounters are entertaining, often in subtly dramatic ways. Each character has his or her own backstory, thus Farscape is akin to Firefly with its group dynamics.

Farscape is definitely worth Netflix-ing because Farscape's DVDs are so rediculously overpriced. I'm not sure why, but they're some of the most expensive television DVD sets ever. Go with Netflix. You'll probably dig Farscape more than you anticipate. I certainly did.
