[03:04] Black Tee ga
[03:04] Chat Mod Ryalin to ChatQ: Thanks so much for being here. How do you feel about the steady growth of reality tv worldwide and the decline of scripted television, particularly in the sci-fi/fantasy genre? Do you think we've seen the end of this kind of format, or do you think people will get a clue one of these days and realize that they're watching garbage?
[03:04] CHICKWITHGUN Ben , i think you are done answering that one...
[03:04] CHICKWITHGUN tee hee
[03:04]Black Tee With reality TV they are not really watching reality
[03:05] CHICKWITHGUN I think numbers are dropping off gradually ratings wise on reality shows but everything has cycles of popularity
[03:05] CHICKWITHGUN ga
[03:05]Black Tee anytime a camera is pointed it takes a pov... point of view
[03:05]Black Tee Quiz shows ruled the 1950's
[03:05]Black Tee Reality TV rules today
[03:06]Black Tee perhaps the next cycle of TV will be Westerns
[03:06] CHICKWITHGUN I have to admit that I watch survivor and I love rupert ga

[03:06]Black Tee ga
[03:06] Chat Mod Necro to ChatQ: Do either of you feel as if you have been typecast because of your work in Farscape, or do you feel it's only propelled your career's forward into new arena's that weren't open to you before?
[03:07] CHICKWITHGUN I have no idea what Fascape will or won't do for my career, only time will tell GA
[03:07]Black Tee I haven't been cast enough outside of Farscape to know what my type is.

[03:08]Black Tee ga
[03:08] Chat Mod DoctorWho to ChatQ: Ben, Claudia thank you very much for taking the time to join us. How did the two of you react when you were contacted about reprising your roles for the upcoming mini-series?

[03:08] CHICKWITHGUN GA
[03:08] Black Tee I refused to believe it
[03:09] Black Tee I'm still not sure I believe it
[03:09] CHICKWITHGUN I didn't believe it either. I thought it would take too long and we would be in zimmerframes GA
[03:09] Black Tee Isn't Farscape that show that died off quietly?
[03:09] Black Tee I mean... Far... what?

[03:14] Black Tee Cept... who's the daddy?
[03:15] CHICKWITHGUN I didn't like it much because Aeryn hated it.... it's in her way of contributing to the ship
[03:15] Black Tee They feed babies to moya for fuel
[03:15] Black Tee Finally we find out her power source
[03:15] Black Tee Farscape tech at it's best

[03:16] Black Tee ga
[03:16] Chat Mod DoctorWho to ChatQ: Did the two of you find it difficult to step back into characters you said good bye to almost two years ago? If so, what aspect did you find the most challenging?
[03:16] Black Tee They difficulty was in accepting that time had passed...
[03:16] CHICKWITHGUN Stepping back into a costume that might not have fit
[03:17] CHICKWITHGUN and we were older...
[03:17] CHICKWITHGUN and slower
[03:17] CHICKWITHGUN and un-used to early starts
[03:17] Black Tee It seemed like the year away never really happened.
[03:17] CHICKWITHGUN and going out to Homebush
[03:18] Black Tee Everything was the same... But DIFFERENT>
[03:18] CHICKWITHGUN It was quite surreal going back and seeing the sets in different sheds... i got very discombobulated

[03:19] Black Tee even
[03:19] Black Tee ga
[03:19] CHICKWITHGUN I found that Aeryn did not do the things she normally does because she was slowed down by the pregancy
[03:20] CHICKWITHGUN oh, my the smell was BAD
[03:20] CHICKWITHGUN ga
[03:20] Chat Mod Accido to ChatQ: Now that you know how it ends, are you happy with the closure the mini-series is supposed to be bringing to the farscape story?
[03:20] CHICKWITHGUN but farscape is the show that never ends

[03:20] Black Tee at the end
