I should first note my surprise and delight at encountering, I believe, the Fred I knew from yon APA days. ^_^
So, might this provide a potential film series? It feels like it has the quality of being at least "better than it needs to be", and perhaps quite a bit more than that. Though, of course, if I were to wish for more adventuresome Hollywood interest in sci-fi, I'd still happily admit to longing to see A Fire Upon the Deep brought to the big screen, in all its Space Opera glory, or C J Cherryh's Chanur saga. (And then of course, there's the more "fantasy" Spellsinger..) Ah, SF has so much to offer, yet so much of what we see on the big screen is invasions and takeovers.. where's the adventuresomeness?
