2 things
1) The way TV ratings are gathered will not hit the SciFi demographic, so
going by ratings is inapropriate.
2) Even given (1) it was Stargate which did it. I still believe that pulling
Farscape was one of their biggest mistakes. Farscape was the best show on TV
since Star Trek. The rumor is that they did not want to pay what the Henson
co. was requesting. The change in managment that occured the year before
droping Farscape is directly responsible.
If you agree with these statments it wouldn't hurt to send letters to the channel.
