Write Steven Spielberg and tell him you and all the rest of the sci-fi fans in fandom are boycotting the SciFi Channel because of the cancellation of [i]Farscape[/i]. Therefore, his new mini-series, [i]Taken[/i] will receive poor ratings.
This is a crazy idea that someone suggest on another bboard. But it’s just so crazy that it might work. LOL!
Here’s Stevie-boy’s contact info:

Can you picture it the conversation between Steven and Bonnie Hammer?
*ring*ring*
Bonnie: Hello?
Steven: What the frell are you thinking?
Bonnie: Excuse me? Just who the hell is this?
Steven: This is Steven Spielberg. [i]Farscape[/i] was your best sci-fi show and you’re cancelling it?
Bonnie: M-m-m-mr. Spielberg! So good to hear from you!
Steven: And now I’ve got people writing me, telling me that they’re boycotting the SciFi Channel. They won’t be watching [b]any[/b] shows!
Bonnie: Well, I hardly think these nerds and geeks have any power to–
Steven: Nerds and geeks? These people in fandom made the SciFi Channel! These are not lame-brains who watch Jerry Springer! These people can get organized!
Bonnie: There have been write-in campaigns in the past but–
Steven: But nothing! [b]You’ve[/b] never done anything like this in the past. You’ve yanked one show too many! Now there’s going to be a backlash and everyone’s going to pay for it! Especially the advertisers!
Bonnie: Uhhhhhhhhhhh…
