Fan Frellling Tastic!

That really is an amazing achievement - they have every right to be proud of themselves!

*suitably awed*

It truly is fantastic. I'm just surprised this is the first we've heard of it. What a great surprise.

I'd love to see and hear the Italian dubbing.

Giovanni of the Italian 'Scapers posted on Terra Firma today.

Hi folks! I am Giovanni Casano... the writer of that letter. I am writing this note because I am really impressed and touched, together with my italian friends, by your warm welcome. We are still a small group, but we are growing. The Premiere will be aired over here on February, 13. We really want to be ready for that so important day. Lots of things are still to set up. The website isn't still complete. And our "to do" list is so long. I just want you to know how much we care of your welcome and support. If you like, I can come back after the broadcast start and tell you something about what will happen. We are so excited. When we started watching Farscape, we were only three. We liked SCI-FI and original series, and we started to think: how can we share the wonders we have seen with our friends, if it's so hard for them to watch a series in the original version? There was only an answer. Our fansubbing project started on hat day. We did really subtitle 88 episodes and the whole mini. We shared the texts with our friends. And then, things happened. We were not lonely. No more. Sorry, it is hard for me to say what I feel. Italy is scaped. We are a part of the project team. And, as my friend Salvatore likes to say, "here is Italian Farscape, exactly like we wanted it to be, but we managed other ones had to pay for it". Sorry for all my mistakes trying to talk with you. Thanks to all of you, who spent some time to read and comment my letter. Thanks to all of you, who tried to tell me something in italian. You made us feel like a real family. I will make a note about you as soon, on our website. Come, talk with us, and be welcomed. Giovanni

As Margaret Mead, a prominant anthropologist once said:  "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. "

Yippee!

This is frelling fantastic.  I can’t believe they subtitled 88 episodes.

Hooray for the Italian 'Scapers .

This is the part I like:

And, as my friend Salvatore likes to say, "here is Italian Farscape, exactly like we wanted it to be, but we managed other ones had to pay for it".

In true 'Scaper fashion.  *snicker*    Wasn't that how John managed to get Farscape One paid for?  

I e-mailed Giovanni for the Farscape Italian Club snail mail address as Farcape Canada wants to send them some swag.... including some Scorpy Chip Cookies from our very own TBZF!

Giovanni e-mailed me back with this reply:

Dear [Me], I am really still astonished by the rumor my news on watchfarscape caused. I didn't think so much people, so much amazing people, could read it and contact me! You are very special people, I am proud to say that.   Your offer is so generous and kind, I can't say how much grateful we are! It will be wonderful to receive your gift. I will personally care you receive a copy of our gadgets, as soon as we will have them! :) So, include your address in your package.   Thank you for the compliments about our web site. We are trying to do our best, because we really want to be ready when Premiere will be aired (February, 13). I will surely write you and your friends talking about it. I am now working on the "frelling links" section of the web site. Please, be sure your beautiful site will be included as soon. Thank you and your friends, thanks a lot, thanks to be what you are and thanks because you got a simple mail and you turned it into something so important, allowing us to meet new friends.   Best regards, Giovanni

Awwwww.  That is so nice.

If anyone wants to be included in this effort or want to add your name to the e-card that Farscape Canada will be sending, please post on the Farscape Canada Yahoo Site.  http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/FarscapeCanada/?yguid=154985499

Or PM me.   (Just post that you PM'd me ... still haven't figured out this new site yet.  *sigh* )

The Farscape Italian Club put a special page on their website to thank everyone for their enthusiastic welcome.  

Sorry to bother you again... I just wanted to let you know we have a new page online in our web site. It is a tribute for you, to thank you all for your welcome. I tried to translate the incipit of the page for you, so you can read it and understand its meaning. The page is at the address http://www.farscape.it/html/dnoi/you_guys_rock.php If one of you wants to help me to improve the english version of this page, I will be grateful. You guys rock. Giovanni

If you haven't checked out their website yet, take some time and do so.   I am suffering from severe website envy.   http://www.farscape.it/  *snicker*  Plus they have linked to Farscape Canada on their links page.  Very purty.

And for the record Giovanni - you rock! 

Farscape Canada sent the Farscape Italian Club a congratulatory e-card yesterday and last night Giovanni replied:.  

Auguri

 

Special people come out in simple things.

Thank you so much for your e-card.

You are wonderful people.

 

Merry Christmas my friends

Hugs,

 

Giovanni and the FSIC'ers

For those of us who don't read Italian, here is the English translation.

Farscape Canada continues to be overwhelmed by the love that fans have for this show. We share your love and applaud your incredible efforts to bring Farscape to more Italians.   We are also "Irreversibilmente Contaminati". 

Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have. - M. Mead

Merry Frelling Christmas Everybody!

Thanks for organizing this Firecracker. The Italian Scpaers are fantastic. Glad we could thank them.

May I add Merry Frelling Christmas - or just enjoy the long weekend and trust all are well and safe and happy.

February 13, the date for the premiere of Farscape on Italian TV is fast approaching and TBZF with the help of many other Canadian 'Scapers has outdone herself (again).

Here is a picture of the contents of the package that we are sending to Giovanni and the Farscape Italian 'Scapers to help them celebrate the premiere of Farscape on Italian TV.  An accomplishment, incidentally, that the Italian Scapers were instrumental in organising.

Congratulations to the FS.I.C. and wishes for many more Farscape successes in the future!

We could still use a little help so please check out the front page of Farscape Canada for details.

Once again, thank you to TBZF and all other contributors to the gift package, and a special thank you to the FS.I.C.

'Scapers Rock!
