Farscape to return (for just a bit)
As this Farscape trailer attests, Farscape is coming back! For those who don't know: Farscape was a science fiction drama on the scifi channel that got canned a year or two ago. Unlike most science fiction, it's got a lot of non-human-looking aliens (the doubters among us will call them "ugly puppets"); it's got actual emotions and character development (doubters: "attractive women in skimpy clothes"); and it doesn't solve problems with a "particle of the week" the way bad Star Trek Next Generation episodes did (doubters don't usually get far enough to notice this). Now I'm not sure it's West Wing(*) in space, but maybe it's Sports Night?
(*) I refer to West Wing when Aaron Sorkin was around, not to the post-Sorkin catastrophe that has taken the true show's place.
