AI Thread Summary
The discussion emphasizes the importance of watching the new Farscape miniseries to encourage the SciFi channel to invest in successful programming rather than low-quality original movies. Promo images and a screensaver for the miniseries are available online, highlighting the show's marketing efforts. There is a sentiment that the series declined in quality due to darker themes and character changes, similar to other shows like LEXX. Director Brian Henson expresses hope for the series' revival, contingent on the miniseries' success, potentially leading to more episodes, movies, or spinoffs.

Probably the best reason to watch this is to get the SciFi channel to stop wasting their money on sub-B "original" movies they're constantly spewing out (the classic Pythons 2, or the masterpiece Avalanche: Unleashed) and start spending it on what works.

I liked the first season, it was funny, but then they started messing with the characters and it went downhill. It just became too dark and depressing.

Same thing with LEXX.
 
So it isn't coming back? That was a bugger of an end then...
 
According to director Brian Henson's comments, it could come back and he hopes it will. It all depends on the success of the miniseries. He would like to bring back the series, or maybe do a movie, or some spinoffs. So get everyone you know to watch tonight.
 
I never really got into Farscape. I watched a few episodes when it first came on and just recently when they had the little marathon.
 

Thread 'Stories about not so soft space fighters'

I wonder how much stories were written, that involve space fighters, and arent so soft as Star wars. I dont think missiles totally make fighter craft obsolate, for example the former cant escort shuttles if one wants to capture a celestial body. I dont insist fighters have to be manned (i enjoyed Enders game about someone control the events for afar) but i also think it isnt totally unjustifiable.

Thread 'Dune: Prophecy, what to read for additional story context?'

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
