What do you think of the reaction to the miniseries so far?
We were sent a large dossier of reviews, and they were incredibly positive, and it's just fantastic that the mini-series was made.
There's so much vying for people's attention nowadays, with multimedia, videogames, movies and what have you, that a loyal audience is better than a non-existent one. [Farscape has] a fantastic bunch of fans, they're an intelligent demographic, and broader than people have experienced from science fiction before.
The burning question at the time was, would people be able to join into the show now, having heard all the buzz about Farscape. Will they be able to understand it? I think it's intrigued people, it's not for everyone. The things that some of the characters are subjected to, some of the content, might be a bit racy, but that's why those who love it love it so dearly, because we were always trying to take risks.
I heard there were a lot of new faces at the latest convention at Burbank, [so] the campaign that the fans had done had obviously been effective, they'd watched [the miniseries] then decided to go back and watch everything from the beginning.
I always knew that we wouldn't be able to please everyone, but I hoped that the fans would know that we were doing it for them.
