buggery | Farscape reruns are back!

For those of us in North America who get the SciFi channel, the midnight Sunday reruns of Farscape are back. (SciFi either isn't advertising this, or is only doing it at times when I don't watch.) The actual broadcast time (Eastern) will be midnight to 1 am until the end of December, then 11 pm to midnight starting in January. Why not just air all the new Sunday night reruns at the same time? Well, obviously, that would make it too easy for people to watch.

Tonight (12/21-12/22) episode 4.12, "Kansas" will air at midnight.

12/28-12/29 (midnight-1am): ep 4.13, "Terra Firma"
01/04-01/05 (11pm-midnight): ep 4.14, "Twice Shy"
01/11-01/12 (11pm-midnight): ep 4.15, "Mental As Anything"
01/18-01/19 (11pm-midnight): ep 4.16, "Bringing Home the Beacon"
etc.

There will also be a day of Farscape episodes on "daytime rotation" (picking up where the last weekday mini-marathon left off) Friday 23 January:

11am-12pm: ep. 3.2, "Suns and Lovers"
12pm-1pm: ep. 3.3, "Self-Inflicted Wounds part 1: Could'a, Would'a, Should'a"
1pm-2pm: ep. 3.4, "Self-Inflicted Wounds part 2: Wait For the Wheel"
2pm-3pm: ep. 3.5, "...Different Destinations"
3pm-4pm: ep. 3.6, "Eat Me"

And as if that weren't confusing enough... beginning 9 January, the first season eps will be aired, more-or-less in order, Friday mornings from 3am to 6am. (This is why God made VCR timers.) Note: SciFi lists these eps as airing on Thursdays, but that's because their scheduling day starts at 6am.

01/09/04
3am-4am: ep. 1.1, "Premiere"
4am-5am: ep. 1.3, "Back and Back and Back to the Future"
5am-6am: ep. 1.2, "Exodus from Genesis"

01/16/04
3am-4am: ep. 1.4, "Throne for a Loss"
4am-5am: ep. 1.5, "PK Tech Girl"
5am-6am: ep. 1.6, "Thank God It's Friday... Again"
etc.
