ATTN JMS: Third Psi-Corps Book

[Tammy Smith]

When will the third Psi-Corps. book be out, & what will come out
next--the first Technomage book, or the first Centauri book?

Also, I heard from someone in England about your interview in Dream
Watch #58 (not available in the US yet). So TNT wanted Sci-Fi to fund
all 22 episodes for the first season in order for them to pick it up &
complete the season? I can see why you had a problem with them! What
jerks! I also heard that TNT wanted Dureena to be the
"sexual-explorer". TNT obviously has a bunch of morons running that
network!

The third Psi Corps book just arrived in manuscript form, so it should be
soonish. After that, I'm not sure which comes next.

That's correct.

I think either Dureena or Eilerson would've been fine, as long as the requisite
amount of sex got in, which was the reason behind the notion.

Well it seems reasonable to me. I assume if Sci-Fi had
picked up Crusade, they -- not TNT -- would have premiered
all 22 eps.

Also correct. Nor was it being stated as a bad or a wrong thing...the only
point being that SFC would have to buy another 22 ep package at a time when
they'd already picked up 3 other 22 ep series, AND made a huge deal with
Spielberg in the $40 million range. That's a lot for that net to bite off in
one season.

Okay, I misunderstood the situation with TNT wanting Sci-Fi to fund the
22 episodes. Thanks for clearing it up, Joe!

Is that in addition to the Cameron 'Red/Blue/Green Mars' deal, or am I
confused?
