JMS, your one of the greatest story tellers out there.  But I for one would
rather not see this show come into being.  Post Apocalyptic shows really
depress me.

Just two things...it already is in being, we're shooting 20 hours.  Second
thing... this show isn't about endings.  It's about beginnings.  It's about
building a new world out of the ashes of the old, and who gets to decide what
that world looks like, and what our responsibilities are toward that world.

It was designed specifically to be a show about hope, set after what could have
been the end, because humans persevere.

Don't judge it until you've seen it.
