The point for me was that I was always watching.   Not sure what others
were doing but I liked the show...  they had *my* vote.

I'd wager that if anything, it would be another "miniseries" or the
occasional TV-movie...  actually, same thing..   I'm not sure that SFC
would spring for another series.

....this might be a bit of a leap, right out of the chute.   And, would the
creature shop etc buy the notion?    Maybe it just might not seem the same
without John... and Rigel has already told his cousin to go frell off...
and Pilot and Moya are alive and well...  what would be happening with them
after D'argo-II grows up?   

But I'm no producer; who am I to pick winners vs losers?

I was waiting to find out that the peacemakers had some little gray guys
with almond eyes working for them to procure "prospects"...
