It seems like no matter how bad a show does fan campaigns always surface. This one will lead to nothing

LOL What do you reckon the shipping would be on a bag of apples from the UK??

in five years, no writer in vancouver or canada for that matter will ever eat fruit. i mean, SGA had lemons, caprica has apples. SGU has the kiwi.

I can safely say caprica is done

Just don't see this going anywhere; these 'save x show' campaigns never work out. I wish them all the best, as I'd love to see another season (or even a miniseries) to close out the show properly, but I'm not going to invest my time in something I don't think will succeed.

[syfygyrl]

I hope things workout but I honestly don't think it will go anywhere. And this makes me unhappy.

[Wayston]

my advice would be... be realistic, conserve and pool your resources for the save the SGU kiwi campaign...

Firefly guys got a theatrical movie, I myself participated in "Save Jericho" and, though, we didn't get much success, we still got like shortened 2nd season (though it ended with a cliffhanger again )

It's hard to get anything out of them now, given the fact that the "Serenity" movie was a failure financially and Jericho didn't attract much new viewers and the numbers were still low. So I doubt TPTB now would give in and make more episodes for a show that averages 800 000 viewers... But it's possible.

Though, I'd never again would be involved in such a campaign. Well, maybe only if they said that Stargate as a franchise was done or they'd want to cancel last intelligent not-light entertainment show on tv...

Prediction: this will achieve nothing. Our best bet for getting more Caprica is if we get a continuation in book/comic form. Then there's always Blood & Chrome.

I would like to respectfully disagree with you, citing the recent case of Jericho and the "Nuts for Jericho" campaign of mid-2007.

Still, though, you are probably right with this, as "SyFy" is not a OTA Network like CBS is (although "SyFy" is owned by NBC). CBS would likely be more inclined to bow to pressure. Tasty, snacky pressure, but pressure none the less.

1 show out practically every show that starts a save campaign after its cancelled. It looks statsically insignificant.

Jelgate's more or less nailed what I was speaking to. How many shows since about 1969 or so have had fan-organized 'save our show' campaigns? Tons and tons and tons. And when Jericho is pretty much the only example of success (I don't count Firefly because it got a film instead of more episodes), it looks pretty insignificant.

Any chance they can continue the series with direct to DVD? That might be more financially viable. A lot of films have done it. Including the American Pie series. Different genre but it is targeted at a ninche market, aka fans.

[DigiFluid]

I wouldn't count on it. When not even the successful parent series is doing direct-to-DVD anymore, it seems pretty unlikely that the failed spin-off will be getting any.
