As we are all fairly familiar with the circumstances of the demise of Farscape, I'll be brief. SciFi can't continue the series because it's way too expensive, unlike Steven Spielberg's Taken or the next adaptation of the Dune series. Whatever. But - I've just run across something at a news site called SyFy Portal.
From accounts I'd read and heard from the actors and production staff, I was under the impression that the series was cancelled after the season finale was already filmed. How could SciFi have planned to add two extra episodes to the season if it was already finished? And would those two episodes have really broken the bank?
Bonnie Hammer is evidently backpeddling to cover f*cking over the channel's best show and its fans. Either that, or the SciFi execs had planned to cancel Farscape well before they told anyone.
"We wanted to do 13 new episodes of 'Farscape' to end the series the way we felt it should be ended properly, and have the proper finale we would have loved to give it," Hammer said. "The bottom line, we couldn't come up with the financial deal that made sense."
