[quote]Okay, so here's the deal. There are now three episodes
remaining of Jeremiah's first season, "A Means to an End," by Sara
Barnes, and the two part "Things Left Unsaid" by your obediant servant.
The first is a quieter, more personal story but also sets up what's
going to happen in the two-parter, and the latter (directed by Mike
Vejar, our good luck charm on B5 who did our best episodes) is pretty
much nonstop intensity and action and character stuff end to end.
Though we're already doing well, it would be great to go out on a
real bang ratings wise, so I'm going to try and experiement. If every
B5 viewer who sees this can get the word to every other viewer who
gets Showtime normally (I wouldn't sign up just for this, that's
fiscally imprudent) to watch the next three episodes, that would be
terrific. I think that would be sufficient to kick us over the edge
into a sure renewal for year two.
And they're fun episodes on their own rights, even if you haven't
seen the show before. Though "Means" is, again, a quieter episode,
there's one scene in it that will have just about any SF fan worth
his/her salt rolling on the floor. I can pretty much guarantee you
it's something you haven't seen before.
As for "Things Left Unsaid," of all the things I've written and
produced, this may be the best thing I've ever been involved with,
from a production standpoint and much of the writing. We kind of got
pulled back a bit after the events of 9/11 put a damper on the
television business in terms of the kinds of
stories one can tell, but we really got this puppy back up on the
rails again with the two parter, which is emblematic of what we'll do
in a second year.
Anyway...just a call out from here to B5 fandom, to see if it's still
there, so we can get together one more time on a biggie.
Thanks.

Errm, B5 had not have even *one* sure renewal, afaik. So, I don't think this is a sign of missing quality... JMS is stretching tv, which doesn't make it easier.

As much as I like JMS' stuff, I'm not paying an extra $40 a month just to watch one TV show.

[b]Yeah, showtime sucks. Put that show on a network that more people have access to and its ratings should skyrocket.

$40/month? ouch, its only $11.95/month for me to get showtime, But i'm still not getting it, the only thing i'd watch is Jeramiah, we had a free prevue of Showtime 2 weeks ago, and in the entire weekend i found a grand total of 4 things that i wanted to watch, its a waste of money to me.
