Don't Forget to Set Your VCRs!

This is a reminder to those of you -- and you all know who you are! -- who have been cursing my name of late because I induced you to start watching Farscape, you became well and truly hooked on it (naturally!), and then a) the series ended on that brutal cliffhanger we all knew was coming, and b) now you're having trouble finding DVDs for rent so you can catch up on the episodes you missed without spending a couple of hundred dollars. Well, if you do want to watch the series from the beginning, now's your chance, because the Sci-Fi Channel is going to be re-running it starting this Sunday. Season 1 episodes will be running at midnight Eastern/Pacific time Sunday-Thursday nights. (And, again, I'm planning on taping them, myself, so anybody who doesn't get Sci-Fi and wants copies of the episodes can contact me either via e-mail or here in my blog comments, and I'd be more than happy to oblige.) They're also going to be re-running all of Season 4 at 5 AM Eastern/Pacific on Fridays.

Also, if you haven't yet, be sure and stop by the Save Farscape website for lots of news and information on what you can do to help get the show back on the air for a fifth season. (Hey, it could happen!)

In other Farscape-realated news, the end of the fourth season also marks the end of the Society Against Cruelty to Crichton's annual charity drive, which raised $1,585.50 in pledges for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. (See, are Farscape fans incredibly cool people, or what?) For the record, the final stats were: 4 episodes in which Crichton didn't get beaten up, at $64.50 in pledges per episode, and 18 in which he did get beaten up, at $73.75 per episode. Poor guy. No wonder he's seemed so stressed-out lately...
