Farscape Update

Apparently Sci-Fi has been advertising the upcoming new episodes of Farscape during their series, Taken[*]. And, as usual, they're being more than a little... Oh, let's be polite and use the word "disingenuous." The ads refer to "the season premiere of Farscape," airing on January 10th. Well, it's not the season premiere, and they're not starting a new season. They're showing the second half of season four, just the way they always do after a great big gap in the middle (during which they doubtless lose some not-insignificant percentage of their viewers, but that's a rant for another day). At least one person I know who saw the ad got the impression from it that the show had been renewed for another season, after all. It hasn't been. Yet. (Hey, I can do optimism!)

[*] Which I haven't been watching, in large part because I've just become so damned disillusioned with the Sci-Fi Channel that I can't work up any enthusiasm for watching their new shows at all. I mean, why bother when they only go and axe the good stuff, no matter how well it's doing for them?
