Another thing... No creative notes. No limits on what you're allowed to
show. And (presumably) a lot more money to play around with than the
last time.

Do the poor souls at Paramount know what they've gotten themselves into?

Yeah, the projected per-episode budget is quite a bit higher than on Crusade or
B5, and the salary is just a bit over double.  I'd been in syndie/basic cable
so long -- ever since Murder, She Wrote -- that I'd kinda forgotten what *real*
networks pay.

It's also going to be nice, in the pilot, to really take things to the wall in
terms of content, something I could never do in syndie or basic cable.
