Nov 12 20:00:16 OK EVERYONE Nov 12 20:00:20 GET READY TO GO! Nov 12 20:00:52 ON BEHALF OF ANIMATIONHQ.NET AND DEJATOONS, WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ADV FILMS' ALLEN AND ADV_Chris_Ten AS THE HOSTS OF THIS FARSCAPE CHAT Nov 12 20:01:10 YOUR GUESTS ARE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND SOMETIME WRITER, MR. DAVID KEMPER Nov 12 20:01:28 AND THE DVD PRODUCER CHIP SCHNEIDER Nov 12 20:01:37 Hi everyone, my name is Allen Divers and I'm the online marketing manager for ADV films... tonight, we're doing a special Farscape chat. It is my pleasure to introduce Chip Schneider, ADV's DVD Producer of the Farscape series Nov 12 20:01:45 PLEASE DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS TO YOUR CHAT MODERATORS- THE PEOPLE WITH THE @ SYMBOL Nov 12 20:01:50 Hi, guys. Really glad to be with you tonight to talk about the new Starburst Edition DVDs. And about anything and everything Farscape. Nov 12 20:02:03 Just FYI, the Starburst Edition is a new special edition release with everything that was on the original Farscape DVDs from ADV Films, plus quite a few new extras. Nov 12 20:02:19 As of tonight, there are 14 exclusive, new commentaries across the entire series with various combinations of Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Rockne O'Bannon, and David Kemper. (We may do a few more before all is said and done.) Nov 12 20:02:35 And there are several new documentary-style interviews. There's a great interview with Brian Henson on the first set. We're also getting some of the commentaries that have been on the international releases. There will be more extras added to the list soon. Nov 12 20:02:54 I've been working very actively to acquire as many of the international commentaries and extras as I can. I've been in touch with Guy Gross, who did the music for Seasons 2-4 and the PK Wars, about doing some special features about music. Nov 12 20:03:07 I'm also working closely with the great folks at the Jim Henson Company to access as much unreleased material as we can find. That's not as easy as you might think. When the show wrapped in Australia, loads of tapes were boxed up, sent to LA, and put in storage. Nov 12 20:03:18 (Imagine hundreds of boxes full of Farscape footage. Makes me dizzy.) Nov 12 20:03:28 Finding any specific tape in there, even with a good database, can be a really, really difficult process. But we're working on it! They've been very patient with my constant nagging! Nov 12 20:03:37 The first volume comes out next Tuesday, November 16 with the first 7 episodes of Season 1. Nov 12 20:03:48 When I was organizing the four days of commentary recording sessions at Post Haste Sound in Santa Monica, I got a great deal of help from a guy who's sitting at a computer out there somewhere -- David Kemper. Nov 12 20:04:09 David and I spent hours on the phone talking all about the complexities of the pivotal episodes and who could offer the best insights on each one. Nov 12 20:04:41 I always knew -- as I think any Farscape fan does -- that there were some very cool, funny, emotional, smart people working really hard on this series. And no doubt about it, David is one of the best. Period. Nov 12 20:05:08 So! let's have questions... I have one. Nov 12 20:05:44 David, did you enjoy doing the commentaries? Being stuck in a dark, steamy room hour after hour with Claudia, Ben, and Rock? Nov 12 20:06:17 Um... Do I really have to answer that? Nov 12 20:06:40 2 of the 3 of them are great. One... not so great. Nov 12 20:06:47 Hygiene issues.... Nov 12 20:06:50 But seriously, Nov 12 20:06:58 ooooo Nov 12 20:07:09 The four of us are so close now as friends, co-workers and almost family, Nov 12 20:07:26 that we can almost finish each others' sentences. I think the fans will Nov 12 20:07:40 hear on the new DVD commentaries that we're firing on all cylindars. Nov 12 20:08:01 As you know, everything we talk about is brand new -- the fans have never Nov 12 20:08:14 heard any of it before. Including the "dangerous" commentary Nov 12 20:08:22 that we all went out on a limb on. Nov 12 20:08:24 GA Nov 12 20:08:45 He means "Jeremiah Crichton!" Nov 12 20:08:51 Oh yeah! Nov 12 20:08:59 A user asks: "Question for Chip: Can we get a commentary for Dog With Two Bones and Terra Firma? I'd really love to hear what Ben and Claudia had to say about those." Nov 12 20:09:32 Ben and Claudia, Ben and Claudia, Ben and Claudia. Nov 12 20:09:40 Jeez, I'm so sick of it always being about them. Nov 12 20:09:50 Don't you want to hear what I... oh, never mind. Nov 12 20:09:58 What about DK and Rock???? Nov 12 20:10:06 Ben and Claudia DID a commentary for Dog With Two Bones, and Nov 12 20:10:20 as an extra special extra, Ben and I did one also. Nov 12 20:10:22 So there. Nov 12 20:10:23 GA Nov 12 20:10:46 We did lots of new commentaries this summer. Here's the list: DNA Mad Scientist -- 2 commentaries Nov 12 20:11:15 Jeremiah Crichton, Nerve, Family Ties Nov 12 20:11:25 The Way We Weren't -- 2 commentaries Nov 12 20:11:38 The Locket, Die Me, Dichotomy Nov 12 20:11:53 Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, Dog with Two Bones Nov 12 20:12:06 a user asks: I have a question for Mr. Kemper: "Do you remember the specific moment from your past when you became an evil genius?" Nov 12 20:12:16 John Quixote, Kansas Nov 12 20:12:23 Bad Timing Nov 12 20:12:31 whew!! Nov 12 20:13:02 I do not consider myself the latter, so I don't know. That moniker was assigned to me by some rather over-caffeinated fans. (The first part I will own up to.) Nov 12 20:13:04 GA Nov 12 20:13:53 A User asks: "njak: what episode did DK enjoy doing the commentary for the most?" Nov 12 20:14:12 Global [Bludd] #Farscape ... Welcome to our live chat event with Mr. David Kemper (Executive Producer and writer) and Mr. Chip Schneider (DVD Producer), of the sci-fi hit, Farscape! Please note that this is a moderated event and no outside conversation will be permitted. Please message any and all questions for :our guests to the chat moderators. Join channel #Farscape-unMod to talk about whats being said. Nov 12 20:14:12 Good question. Nov 12 20:14:29 They're all challenging, as we're forced to recall distant events and derive Nov 12 20:14:53 a great deal of pleasure from reliving them. But, I'd have to say Die Me and Two Bones were my favs. Nov 12 20:14:53 Jeremiah Crichton was pretty fun for everybody. Nov 12 20:14:54 GA Nov 12 20:15:24 a user asks I wish to know if there would be any chance to see Bloopers on these new DVDs? Nov 12 20:15:33 Jeremiah was sick, man. Wait till they hear us. For your info, it's Ben, Claudia, Rock and myself going just WILD. Nov 12 20:15:33 GA Nov 12 20:16:00 That is always a possibility and is being negotiated right now. Please refer Nov 12 20:16:13 back to Chip's earlier comment about having to literally FIND the stuff. Nov 12 20:16:14 GA Nov 12 20:16:16 There will be some. We're working on getting more! Nov 12 20:16:17 A user asks: "Do you prepare for commentaries ahead of time by watching the episode and making notes (mental or written) or do you all just sit down together and wing it?" Nov 12 20:16:38 Wing it. Scotch. Licorice. Nov 12 20:16:39 GA Nov 12 20:16:49 A user: "DK.. Since the beginning of FarScape through the PK Wars, could you tell us how being involved has helped you personally in your growth as a writer/producer. What were your brightest points?" Nov 12 20:16:50 David and I talked quite a bit ahead of time. Nov 12 20:17:10 G-R-E-A-T question. Nov 12 20:17:32 I have matured in writing on-going stories and relationships -- learning how to juggle Nov 12 20:17:47 the needs of the characters AND the audience. The characters NEED certain Nov 12 20:18:05 things, the audience WANTS certain things. As for my brightest point... Nov 12 20:18:27 I'd have to peg that twice -- Die Me on a personal level -- and watching Nov 12 20:18:41 how we all handled the cancellation as the true highlight. We all Nov 12 20:18:59 hugged and cried -- cast, crew, writers, everyone! -- and were truly a family. That Nov 12 20:19:14 is why we all came back together from all over the world to make Peacekeeper Wars. Nov 12 20:19:14 GA Nov 12 20:19:20 A user asks: "David-- What kind of professional reputation have you gotten as a result of being Farscape's showrunner? Has the complexity and audaciousness exhibited by Farscape scared off any potential new employers?" Nov 12 20:19:44 Another insightful question. Nov 12 20:20:10 Farscape has solidified my reputation as being a bit mad (which is good), and Nov 12 20:20:23 cemented me for the moment as a Sci Fi Guy (which can be bad). However, Nov 12 20:20:40 I am making the most of this "purgatory" by working on other fun projects (some of them to be Nov 12 20:20:49 released by ADV.) Nov 12 20:20:50 GA Nov 12 20:20:56 A user asks: Why is ADV re-releasing farscape? Nov 12 20:21:18 I expect a lot of people are wondering why ADV is re-releasing Farscape. The main reason is this: Nov 12 20:21:51 Most big video retail stores -- like the Walmarts, Targets, and Best Buys of the world -- carry only *new* releases. Nov 12 20:22:05 Sure, they may carry a few massive sellers and Hollywood blockbusters as part of their general stock, but mostly, it's new titles. Nov 12 20:22:19 We felt like there were Farscape fans and potential Farscape fans who, for lots of reasons, buy their DVDs in stores and might have trouble finding the early seasons. Nov 12 20:22:31 That was the original idea -- to get Farscape back on the store shelves. Nov 12 20:22:43 I figured, if we're gonna do that, let's take the next step, and add some new things for fans. Nov 12 20:22:56 And make it at a less expensive price. Nov 12 20:23:07 DVDs are dropping in price nowadays since the format has become more widespread. Nov 12 20:23:19 GA Nov 12 20:23:22 grapeshot asks: "Say, I'm curious if there are more technical featurettes -- such as how the pyros are done, or how that great cinematography gets done?" Nov 12 20:23:52 That's a tough ask. Here's why... Nov 12 20:24:12 You really need to film some of those at the time they're being done. And what's more, Nov 12 20:24:30 the people responsible for all that great work are either in Australia or scattered all Nov 12 20:24:43 around the world working on other projects. Although, trust me, I share Nov 12 20:25:03 your love of those elements. We WILL have all of that on DVDs of future projects, though. Nov 12 20:25:04 GA Nov 12 20:25:11 Nostromo asks: Hi, please ask, what ever happened to that Farscape Anime, that was a potential for the Asian Market? And if there is any hopes of something new in relation to farscape now with it being over... Thank you... Nov 12 20:25:38 Anime notame domain... Nov 12 20:25:51 But as for other FS projects, I hear Nov 12 20:26:21 we're exploring the hezmana out of the feature possibility. (For what it's worth.) Nov 12 20:26:22 GA Nov 12 20:26:37 Anon260 asks: "Mr. Kemper, a couple of years ago at the NYC convention, you mentioned that there was unused footage for Revenging Angel. Is any of that available for the dvds?" Nov 12 20:27:33 Those are part of the "lost" tapes that Chip is trying his darnedest to recapture for you. Nov 12 20:27:33 GA Nov 12 20:27:41 Reeeaally workin on that!!! Nov 12 20:28:13 Anon455 asks: For DK: How far have you schemed the story beyond Peacekeeper Wars? I'm sure you have plenty of ideas! Nov 12 20:28:42 The way I work, I don't lock in until it's time to go go go. However, I also Nov 12 20:29:01 have 3 or 4 roads the story can travel, and they're all pretty mad and fun. Nov 12 20:29:16 Just waiting for Brian and Rock to call and say, "Hit it." Nov 12 20:29:16 GA Nov 12 20:29:19 I wondered if PK Wars would end with "To be continued." Was that discussed? Nov 12 20:29:47 Nope. This was always -- in the grander scheme -- meant to be a chapter stop. Nov 12 20:29:48 GA Nov 12 20:29:52 NaKain asks: "DK, can you give us any indication as to whether Farscape will be back? There are now questions from the mini that just beg to be answered(Ex: D'Argos fate) If the mini is the last we see I have to say well done. It was everything I hoped for and much more. Thank you soooo much." Nov 12 20:30:31 NaKain, thanks for the compliment. We were all about giving you guys Nov 12 20:30:44 what you wanted and the story needed. As for D'Argo.... Nov 12 20:30:55 D'Argo dead. Nov 12 20:30:58 ouch Nov 12 20:31:02 ............ I think........... Nov 12 20:31:04 GA Nov 12 20:31:15 JustPlainLisa: DK, speaking of the future of Farscape, and specifically a feature, what role can the Scaper community play in bringing that about? Nov 12 20:31:36 I'm loathe to give out my home address, Nov 12 20:31:48 however, if everyone sends me $1,000 dollars Nov 12 20:31:52 I won't have to work on it. Nov 12 20:32:17 Other than that, just buy the DVDs, keep your ear to the ground, and remember to let Nov 12 20:32:50 us all know you're still out there. We're trying to get it up. Nov 12 20:32:51 GA Nov 12 20:33:00 A user asks: "Will the DVDs be double sided?" Nov 12 20:33:12 Yes! Nov 12 20:33:26 More eps less metal. Nov 12 20:33:33 GA Nov 12 20:34:43 A REMINDER TO ALL USERS: PLEASE DIRECT ALL MESSAGES TO EITHER MYSELF OR ALLEN. WE WILL THEN HAND OVER THE QUESTIONS TO CHIP OR DK. Nov 12 20:34:53 an anonymous user asks: Questions for DK: Where you happy the way the mini series turned out? Were you disappointed not to be able to explore some of the story threads in more depth? Nov 12 20:35:29 I always want more time, but I was very pleased with the emotion ending. Nov 12 20:35:34 We brought the story Nov 12 20:35:48 full circle and left John somewhat as we found him... Nov 12 20:36:19 Free of Harvey, Wormholes, etc. The tradeoff for him was, Nov 12 20:36:38 he can never go home, but he's found friends, the girl of his dreams, and has a family. Nov 12 20:36:49 (How large, one can only guess.......) Nov 12 20:36:49 GA Nov 12 20:36:55 ShipsCat asks: "Are you going to add Farscape Undressed to the new DVDs?" Nov 12 20:37:30 There are some international clearance issues about that show. BUT I'm very hopeful we'll get it. Nov 12 20:37:47 I've seen it, and it's great. Nov 12 20:38:12 GA Nov 12 20:38:23 A lot of our users are asking whether or not David will be at the Burbank convention next week... Nov 12 20:39:08 I will probably be out of town, doing prep on one of the new, aforementioned sci fi projects. Nov 12 20:39:15 Have a good time without me. Nov 12 20:39:17 GA Nov 12 20:39:30 ADV is sending a cool Farscape mini-poster that you'll get at the con. Nov 12 20:39:40 It be free. Nov 12 20:39:44 GA Nov 12 20:39:44 GutPageant asks: Farscape reminds me of my favorite 'underground' bands-- great critical acclaim, and a (mostly) discerning fandom that while not massive, is fiercely dedicated and enthusiastic. It sounds snobby, but do you find there's a certain appeal in being a cult favorite? Nov 12 20:40:29 There are many different forms of "success" -- and I like cult favorite just fine, thank you. Nov 12 20:40:29 GA Nov 12 20:41:02 crazychick asks: I know this is OT to the Starburst DVD's, but we outside of the US are kind of in a limbo with regards to what happens for us. Does DK have any news on when we'll all get to see the mini-series? Specifically the UK. Nov 12 20:41:50 Wow. I thought you'd already seen it. That's not an area I'm steeped in, Nov 12 20:42:03 so those question as best sent to the Henson company. They'll certainly Nov 12 20:42:12 have a release schedule for the mini. Nov 12 20:42:13 GA Nov 12 20:42:18 quite a few users have asked: what's the deal with jeremiah crichton? Nov 12 20:42:21 Anon526 asks: "Hi, David: When & where were the commentaries made?" Nov 12 20:42:45 hehe.. sorry, mods fighting for dominance Nov 12 20:42:49 Jeremiah Crichton, first... Nov 12 20:43:06 That was an ep -- singularly for us -- where despite every best effect, Nov 12 20:43:26 the train kept, under it's own force, jumping the tracks. Ben, Claudia, Rock and I Nov 12 20:43:54 address this issue in a novel, and I am told, funny way. You'll have to hear for yourself. As for the commentaries-- Nov 12 20:44:16 some were done here in LA with Chip, others in Australia at the studio. Nov 12 20:44:17 GA Nov 12 20:44:18 The JC commentary is frelling hilarious. It's in the second Starburst volume. Nov 12 20:44:39 anon653 asks: What ever happened to the Nebari, sadly it seems the writers just forgot all about them and the contagion. Nov 12 20:44:43 The Starburst commentaries were recorded this summer Nov 12 20:44:56 Post Haste Sound in Santa Monica Nov 12 20:45:01 GA Nov 12 20:45:25 The Nebari were not forgotten, anon653. I suspect you may hear more about them should FS be fortunate enough to rev up again. Nov 12 20:45:25 GA Nov 12 20:45:36 jacl here. How many Starburst editions will there be? Nov 12 20:45:56 12 volumes. 3 per season. Nov 12 20:46:05 GA Nov 12 20:46:34 anon526 asks: Hi, DK: I read somewhere that you are working in Oz & it's with some of the Farscape actors. Can you tell us more about this? Nov 12 20:47:21 I am prepping two small features that will shoot early next year in a very wonderful -- but secret location. Nov 12 20:47:44 They will air here in the states on the Sci Fi Channel, be available on other broadcast venues around\ Nov 12 20:48:07 the world, as well as on DVD (courtesy of these ADV knuckleheads, here). As for Nov 12 20:48:16 Woo-hoo!! Nov 12 20:48:31 the cast, I'd bet you know some of them quite well, and maybe the directors, special effects people, music Nov 12 20:48:45 guy, post prod folks, etc, etc, etc, etc. Nov 12 20:48:48 Hmmmmmmm..... Nov 12 20:48:51 GA Nov 12 20:48:57 A user asks "did crichton really go to earth in a human reaction" Nov 12 20:49:43 I encourage the questioner to watch the ep again. There is no way he went to earth. It was Nov 12 20:49:53 all an illusion fomented by the Ancients. Nov 12 20:49:54 GA Nov 12 20:49:57 Anon397 asks "DK... is PKWARS going to be in a book (meaning do we get to read it sometime) great work on the mini... i loved it ;" Nov 12 20:50:34 Thanks for the compliments. As for the book, that's a Henson marketing question. Your humble correspondent no do books. Nov 12 20:50:34 GA Nov 12 20:50:42 a user asks "DK you wrote most of the seasons closers why?" Nov 12 20:50:58 I was the only one left standing AND sober by that time. Nov 12 20:50:59 GA Nov 12 20:51:10 Ha Nov 12 20:51:15 GutPageant aks: "I love that Farscape never succumbed to stunt casting. Was that a conscious choice and was there ever pressure to try it, especially for the mini? No suggestions that to boost ratings, Moya ought to be visited by, oh, let's say, the Olsen Twins, or William Shatner, or Paris Hilton?" Nov 12 20:51:48 Paris on DVD would be a huge seller. Nov 12 20:52:01 Good Q. There WAS pressure in the first season. Silly suggestions that would make you DIE if you heard. And you're not going to. And... Nov 12 20:52:21 it was a strongly conscious decision to keep the series "real." Nov 12 20:52:22 GA Nov 12 20:52:35 njak asks " What about Grayza's pregnancy? Any reason the father was not addressed in PKW or did you just want to leave us wondering because you really are an evil genius?" Nov 12 20:53:24 Um... Was Grayza pregnant? I hadn't noticed. Gosh, I bet that might mean....... Oh, NO! No no no no no. It COULDN'T be! Could it?..... Nov 12 20:53:25 GA Nov 12 20:53:51 A user "asks why did you do two commentaries on some of the eps?" Nov 12 20:54:23 Well, Ben and Claudia would address the ep from an actor's perspective, and then I would do one to tell you the truth. Nov 12 20:54:23 GA Nov 12 20:54:31 an anonymous user asks: how much input did the actors provide as the stories and series continued? Nov 12 20:54:51 All of our actors were computer generated, so... Nov 12 20:55:13 But seriously, I would frame the larger aspects of the journey with the writing staff, then Nov 12 20:55:29 the actors, directors and everyone else would chime in with thoughts that we would canabalize. Nov 12 20:55:39 In the very specific case of Ben, you Nov 12 20:56:16 should consider him a full-fledged writer from DAY ONE. That means he had extraoridinary access, input, and weight (he's since lost the weight). Nov 12 20:56:17 GA Nov 12 20:56:19 NaKain says "One more for DK and this is just a compliment. Dk, I just want to thank you again for Farscape and the mini. I still have confidence we will see it again. There has never been a show that will ever rival the brilliance of Farscape nor will there ever be." Nov 12 20:56:51 Right on. Nov 12 20:57:06 Thank you so much. We're all a bit proud, I must say. Single best work experience of my life. And I doubt it will ever be equaled again, sad to say. Nov 12 20:57:06 GA Nov 12 20:57:08 All right, everyone, we're hitting the witching hour. I'd like to thank Chip and David for taking time out of their schedules to sit and chat with us.. gentlemen, do you have any closing thoughts for the loyal fans? Nov 12 20:57:43 Hey. How about a few more for the people who've been waiting? Nov 12 20:57:44 GA Nov 12 20:58:03 cbglacier asks: was there any back story reason to cast the mean nurse from prayer as the preistess in PKW Nov 12 20:58:36 Great actor. And available. Couldn't have found anyone better. Nov 12 20:58:36 GA Nov 12 20:58:57 animeotak asks: can u ask, what were some of ur inspirations for making this show Nov 12 20:59:32 Started with Rockne S. O'Bannon, Farscape's creator and guiding light. He envisioned a world, the characters, and the tone. Nov 12 20:59:35 After that, Nov 12 21:00:09 we relied on each other (meaning the other writers, directors, etc.). We didn't Nov 12 21:00:37 know what we were going to end up with, we just knew what IT WOULDN'T BE. Boring, science mumbo-jumbo, Nov 12 21:00:51 tame, sexless, and uninspired. That was out goal. Nov 12 21:00:59 Good question. Nov 12 21:00:59 GA Nov 12 21:01:21 Nessus aks: a question for DK: How much of the projected season 5 story did the mini cover, episode wise? Nov 12 21:01:57 Not much. Themes were condensed. But you saw the last 2 eps mostly the way they might've been. Nov 12 21:01:58 GA Nov 12 21:02:20 Nostromo asks: Please ask, why they changed the look of Sikozu!!! thanks! Nov 12 21:02:42 Do you mean to tell me that a year from today, YOU won't have a new hairstyle? Nov 12 21:02:43 GA Nov 12 21:03:10 Leviathan20041 aks: I'd still love to see this question I asked earlier: Can you explain the certain cut above John's left eyebrow in the Miniseries and why it was in the same place as Talyn-John's? It's driving me nuts! Nov 12 21:03:30 Very clever eye you have. Nov 12 21:03:44 Theme. Homage. A wink to our fans who are clever enough to see it. Nov 12 21:03:49 I applaud you. Nov 12 21:03:49 GA Nov 12 21:04:27 Mreen asks I'd have to say you met your goal in Farscape then, a real peice of work (I mean that in the nicest way) original and inventive. I was hoping to see of more of Stark's story, guess it got condensed .. I hope you are planning on continuing with hints on how his ability evolved in the movie? Nov 12 21:05:18 Stark is one of my favorite characters, and Paul Goddard one of my favorite people. Unless he says "No," I can Nov 12 21:05:29 pretty much say you'll get your wish if we go forward. Nov 12 21:05:29 GA Nov 12 21:05:30 AniMeOtaK asks "After Farscape is over, what do u plan to do next?" Nov 12 21:05:42 Um, Disneyland....? Nov 12 21:05:48 Well, if you read Nov 12 21:06:05 some of the above answers in the log, you'll see I'm working on 2 small features with Nov 12 21:06:40 some old friends of yours, as well as hopefully starting work on a much larger project Nov 12 21:07:04 for one of the networks. Keep your fingers crossed for me.... or send that $1,000 I mentioned earlier. Nov 12 21:07:05 GA Nov 12 21:07:07 Nomad asks: For DK, In an ideal world, would you rather go back to episodic TV shooting (Season 5, 6, 7, ......) or do you like doing the Mini-Series format better? Nov 12 21:07:21 Leviathan20041 asks : Question for Chip: Can I volunteer to go through those Farscape boxes in storage? Sounds like a dream come true! Nov 12 21:07:36 I'd like to start a new series. Series are much better for me. I like telling a long story, and I Nov 12 21:08:04 thoroughly enjoy working with the same people for years and years. I am a "home," family kind of guy. I like camaraderie Nov 12 21:08:25 and support and fun. All of those can be attained on a long-running series (though it Nov 12 21:08:37 is not guaranteed). We got VERY lucky with FS.
