Ben Browder has said that he’ll reprise his role as John Crichton if a proposed set of Farscape webisodes gets off the ground. SciFi Wire reports:

Executive producer Brian Henson and creator Rockne O’Bannon are talking about how to revive Farscape on the Web in a series of 10 webisodes.

“At the moment, that’s Rockne and Brian’s job, and I’m aware that they’re figuring out what they’re going to do with it, but I don’t know how far along in the process they are,” Browder said.

While I admit that I think Farscape suffered a bit in it’s later episodes, I have to also say that that the Peacekeeper Wars mini-series was some really fine television.

With his commitment to Stargate SG-1 at an end, it seems the perfect timing for this project. Not to mention that I have rarely seen a fandom as loyal and excitable as Farscape fans (outside of Browncoats).

At the same time, I wonder about all the returns to old series we seem to be having. Where’s the new content? Whatever happened to letting a show go when it was over? We’ve got new Babylon 5 stories, SG-1 isn’t really over, and every show I watched as a kid is being revived.

Do you think they can do something great, or should they let Farscape go?
