    It's a crime what sciffy did to Farscape. It won awards and all that, but they had to cancel it not just after it hit it's stride, but had become must-see-TV.

    I seem to recall they axed it right around the time they veered toward reality tv territory. At least there was Peacekeeper Wars as an attempt at wrap up. Most prematurely cancelled shows don't get any sort of resolution at all.

      Yes, like Serenity: let's wrap the whole thing up by killing Wash, Book. Anybody else???

      Wish the powers that be would stop being and let quality TV just exist.
      Serenity was nice to have, but a cop out. They should have swallowed their own nuts and agreed to let it continue (and in a better way than they did with ST-TOS).

        You know, everything would have been fine with that show if they had not insisted on naming like it was a feminine hygiene product. And then, they doubled down by naming the movie based on the series like another feminine hygiene product.

        Joss Whedon is great, and all, but man, do not name your sci-fi like feminine hygiene products if you want them to succeed.

          And don't cast an actor named Summer's Eve Glow to play your fan favorite character, right?

          Whedon's mistake was being ahead of the trend for radical feminist domination. If only he had waited another decade until after social media attracted all the women who have taken over the internet.

          And then he doubled down by later naming a series Dollhouse. [wikipedia.org]

          Which I actually liked, for the most part. Didn't care much for the apocalyptic future parts that got weaved in late in each season, however; it felt like it was tacked on to give the show a feeling of completion in case it got axed. Pretty smart thing to assume, considering it was sci-fi, on Fox, by Joss Whedon.
