Saw the preview for Farscape #24...

[arevhat]

...and I realized I'm hoping Chiana dies.  Which would be sad, but not nearly as sad as her free will and dignity being stripped away, her having literally no choice in who she has sex with (isn't that called rape?), her being suddenly, slavishly devoted to Nebari ideals, and no one giving a shit or thinking this might be odd, or of some concern.  

Alive she will continue to be used and abused and alternately ignored and maligned.  Dead she will be a free spirit, with Zhaan, D'Argo, Jool, and Sikozu for company.

Huh.  Maybe her death at this point wouldn't be sad at all.

By the way, I would love to know what Claudia and particularly Ben Browder, who seems to have invested so much of himself in FS as well as the other actors think about the comics plot and developement..are they even keeping up with it and would they want to be involved in any webisodes if these were ever actually financed?

I know it's ridiculous but my Scaper heart has broken a little today...sorry for venting, Arevhat!

And even though I know what ADS mean about dwindling number of fans, I have also heard of so many people who are watching the show for the first time only now or recently and absolutely love it..so many missed opportunities to leave a great show alone or maybe one day revive it properly as it justly deserves!

That's it I promise I will stop moaning now...maybe I will rewatch Crackers Don't Matter to cheer myself up a little..

Since the J/A fans would swallow anything they're given getting what they want, there aren't as many complaints. So I can't see Ben or Claudia being that affected really.

As to Chi... yeah, I saw this coming. The comics have been mostly crap, with the odd shining example. It says a lot that I, who would have bitten O'Bannon's arm off at the start for the chance to write Crais, ended up not wanting to touch it with someone else's bargepole.

I was glad to read the tweet announcing the end, and that just should never have happened. Sad times.

It shouldn't, but this made me LOL

If you don't laugh, you'll cry :S

But... yeah. I bugged and bugged Keith about it in the early days, and was all over the D'Argo series like white on rice. I think really that I'm glad it never happened, but it would kill me to have to write a post like your original one.

I'm sure if they actually do kill her I will cry FOREVER but for now I'm trying to find a silver lining :/

Bonus with Crais is that they could only kill him once...

Yeah, it'd be horrid if they killed her off, but I think that lining is definitely silver. Hopefully it'll be meaningful.

I don't know about Ben and Claudia and the comics, but I believe I've heard they're both interested in doing the webisodes, should they happen :) I think all the cast loves the show so much that if they were able to play those characters again, they would.

I actually think the fandom is growing. There are more people here now than there were when I got into it (2006 I think) and like you I frequently see people saying they've just watched it for the first time. I think Netflix streaming, and the availability of the DVDs, has really helped.

Honestly, not that many people read comics and they are horrendously overpriced - all of them, the ones I love as well as the ones I hate LOL.

Watch Crackers! And Out of Their Minds! Don't be sad! *hugs* No matter what, we will always have the show. And fanfic =D
