'Epidemic' Greenlighted

[Ubik]

At Comic-Con I asked him what his involvement would be for the two shows he had in development and he said he'd be showrunner.

Maybe, but Crusade was only starting out to be about finding the cure. JMS had said, and we would have seen in some of the unproduced scripts, that there was a lot more in store and that the virus would have been cured some time in (I believe) the second season.

Superb news. Hopefully he'll write the occasional script too!

Yes, I'd heard Crusade was meant to pan out like that. I do really like the idea that it was meant to veer off in a completely different direction. I guess there's potential thematic similarities with this new show and Crusade. That same desperation to find a cure may well be present, and the question... What ends will people go to in order to find it?

"You will fall upon one another like wolves. It'll make what we did pale by comparison. The billions who live forever will be a testimony to my work, and the billions who were murdered to buy that immortality will be the continuance of my work."

Sorry, that last sentence and couldn't think of anything else but this.

Ha. Superb Deathwalker quote!
