Star Trek Luminaries Behind the Fastest Funded Film Project On Kickstarter
An anonymous reader writes "Legendary sci-fi writer Marc Zicree (Star Trek, Babylon 5, Sliders) and special effects wizard Doug Drexler (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica) are behind the fastest funded film project on Kickstarter. They're using crowd-funding website kickstarter to directly communicate with and enlist the support of fans for their latest project Space Command. Maybe with direct communication, sci-fi fans can rest easy and not have to worry about their favorite shows being cancelled like FireFly."
Just to clarify, before the crazy racists jump in, what I meant was I hope they *didn't* make some lame association between the Klingons and black people. I love NG but it can be painful to watch at times. I also love Firefly, but I am so tired of scifi where every other woman is a prostitute. Prostitution is gross. And I don't know any prostitute. They are not common among the lives of most people. And they are sad and unsexy. But you would think from the writing of creepy old school scifi writers that they were as common and great at offering useful advice, enjoyed their jobs and always quite attractive. I prefer the depiction of prostitutes in Breaking Bad to that of Firefly or Game of Thrones. I love Game of Thrones, but it bums me out that it has this flaw.
