Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Gods, now I know why Farscape fans hate Sci-Fi so much.

So let me get this straight. Viewing is down, you're going to end a poor second half showing with a gut-wrenching cliff hanger (based on past experience anyway) and you think premiering against all the major network shows SEVEN MONTHS after the cliffhanger is going to help?

Crap.

Mind you, saying that, it's not an uncommon time span for major shows. And there's a suggestion RDM may have requested a longer production time this time around. I do hope so, I hope this delay is being driven by the BSG creative team and not the Sci-Fi bean counters.

*whimpers*

I just have a bad feeling about this. The only good thing is they are contracted for a full 20 episode season. Doesn't mean all 20 will get broadcast but at least if they pull the plug, there'll be something to look forward to on DVD :P

Beh.

Just a brief note on what I'm up to. This may sound nuts, but I like to leave some word of where I planned to be in case "anything happens". Like, for instance, I don't show up online for two or three days with no explanation :P

Meeting Yshala WINOLJ in London after work. Meeting at The Knights's Templar pub in Chancery Lane around 8pm for food, booze and another belated birthday present. In addition, I'll be getting in earlier so I can do some guilt free spending of birthday tokens! Glee!!! Hoping to go into work late on Friday - they owe me a bit of time from last week.

And now I must go to bed and get my beauty sleep :)
