Do you remember the first part of Stephen King's "The Stand"? The really cool part where 95% of the population gets wiped-out by a flu-like virus? The part BEFORE it got all weird and Good-Versus-Evil-Preachy on us? You know... the GOOD part?
Wouldn't it be cool if somebody would make a TV series based on just that? The world coming to an end and the scraps of society having to first of all find each other and then try to rebuild?
It couldn't be an American TV show because they would try to force romance and sexiness in to it.
It couldn't be Japanese, either, because they would try to make it either spiritual or alien in nature. Maybe even a giant monster or robot would be involved.
Nope, I'm pretty sure it would have to come from the good old BBC. Only "The Beebs" could pull off a show like what I want in a stark, serious way without trying to make it a great big Marketing Tool.
Maybe they could get somebody awesome with plenty of sci-fi and speculative fiction cred like Terry Nation (Doctor Who, Blakes 7) to come up with the idea. Wouldn't that be awesome?
OH WAIT THEY ALREADY DID IT BACK IN 1975 AND THEY CALLED IT "SURVIVORS"!!!
I love it when stuff like this happens! Stumbling around The Internet and PLOP! There it is! EXACTLY what I've been looking for all my life!
I'm only 4 episodes in to the first season right now... 3 seasons to watch. WOW is it a good show! Do yourself favor and search out that torrent!
