OT Wow, Now I've seen the worst ending in Scifi

Here's an idea for everyone who was incredibly let down by the "finale" of Farscape-

Write SciFi and ask them "Why did you end Farscape like that? What is continued? What happened...who was that freaky alien? I WANT TO KNOW!"

I am SO pissed at SciFi for the GALL to "end" the series that way. Like other people said, B5 got its ending, Lexx got its ending. Hell, even Voyager got its ending. Buffy will get its ending. I really, really hope several of the other SciFi fans, inc. B5, Stargate, and Buffy, will band together to get Farscape one more season. This is not about which show is better. This is about a network ripping off the fans and the writers. They broke a commitment to the producers and writers of the show, and now the memory and quality of the show is forever tainted with an asterisk. If SciFi never wanted a 5th season, then the writers would not have had that ending. But Farscape will forever be frelled because the high ups at SciFi/USA networks/Vivendi think that the following "shows" are better places to put their money.

a) Dream Team (failure- the Ratings are below 0.4 total failure)
b) Battlestar Galactica. (Im sorry...it was a Star Wars ripoff in the first place, with teh cheesy Egyptian stuff? Let it stay dead in the 70s and 80s when dirk and adama wereat their heyday)
c) Tremors?! TREMORS? like I want to watch Mr. Keaton grunt and shout as he shoots animatronic or CGI monsters. Ugh

Im sad

Let's clear up a misconception.

The writers knew that this was to be the Last season before they started writing it. So the ending was intentional. It was David Kempler's way of telling the SciFi network "Screw you! You can't kill this show."

One way or another Farscape will be back.

I thought they didn't get word till after the Last day of shooting the final episode.

As I no longer have cable, anybody interested in filling me in on what happened in the final episode of my favorite series?

I don't know about anyone else, but I think Stargate must be the best Sci-Fi on TV since ST:TNG. It's also the only show made from a movie where the actors are better than the ones that originally starred.

Except for French Stewart. He rules.

Chill out F...

As for Farscape, I have to agree that the ending was highly unsatisfactory. Anyone who wants to ttell ZA what that ending was, please remember that there may be people reading this thread who'd like the element of surprise maintained, so either avoid or at least clearly mark any spoilers.

However, to call it the worst ever ending in scifi? No way. I can think of plenty of other candidates for that, including (but not limited to) Total Recall (The film), Otherland (Excellent-apart from the ending- series of books by Tad Williams), most of the Star Trek films.
