Thanks guys. I don't own the Crusade DVD's and hadn't really followed up on anything about them, so for all I knew, this was breaking news.
Don't I just feel out of the loop?
JMS: I want the real truth to come out. Including the fact...I ran into some guys who worked for TNT about two years after Crusade went down. And they said, "Did you ever hear the rest of the story?" JMS: "What rest of the story?" TNT guys: "We found out, we did a research survey, a five year long study of our ratings. This was just after Crusade got going. And, we found out that the audience for B5 came for B5, then left afterward. And the TNT regular viewers didn't stick around for B5 and went away and came back. B5 wasn't adding to our viewer base." So...they decided to pull the plug on Crusade for that reason and use the money to buy another show. But they couldn't say that because they'd be in breach of contract with Warner Bros. So their job was to make it impossible for us so they could then say, "We aren't getting the show we want, our notes aren't being dealt with, therefore we aren't responsible, we're canceling the show, this is your nut Warner Bros., you take care of it." That is why all the notes became so egregious. If I had given them everything they wanted, they still would have pulled the plug. They just wanted out. Yeah, I want that information out there.
I say we go ahead and directly quote that portion of the convention transcript!
Ah, but you see, it's enticing! Read this, go wow, then move on to the rest of the transcript because: What else did jms say!? Get 'em wantin' more and all that!
Occationally, I'm able to pull one out.
Markas will be soooooooooooo proud of you, VL.
