Ben Browder was interviewed on CNN Headline News on Tuesday night, and said, "At this point, it looks like it's not gonna happen, so it looks like we're not gonna see a fifth season." Not very good news, but we have yet to receive official word, so the two-fold campaign continues: try to convince Sci-Fi to renew Farscape for its promised fifth season or get another network (like Showtime or UPN) to pick up the show. I won't be able to make it since I'll be working tonight, but if you're interested, there wil be a chat with David Kemper and Ricky Manning at #farscape at irc.scifi.com tonight at 8:00 EST. Because of the expected high traffic and the server trouble they had last night, when this was originally scheduled, the announcement of tonight's chat came with this advice:

If you get booted off scifi.com or can't get on, go to irc.chorn.com. Chorn has a relay room set up at #farscape-scifi.com. They can take up to 1000 people and that room *will* be counted and the total added to the room at scifi. Just stay there until the other room stabilises, don't even bother trying to get back on scifi.com. The bot will provide a continuous relay so you won't miss anything.

I would also strongly suggest that if you're not desperate to ask a question at chat, you just head straight to chorn. You can chat in the #farscape channel there, but remember you won't be counted unless you're in the relay room as well.

I wish I could go to hear things from the horse's mouth, so to speak, but I can look for transcripts tomorrow. In the meantime, I need to get the Save Farscape flier copied so I can make them available at the store.
