JMS: Crusade 'lost' episodes?
JBONETATI
I read that all of the scripts for Season 1 of Crusade had been written. What
happens to them *when* we get Crusade Season 2? Will those scripts get used or
are they lost to us? Do they belong to TNT or to Warner Bros?
Thanks,
Jan

episodes. So, the rest of the scripts would belong to WB.

Actually, don't ALL the scripts belong to WB. They are
the ones who authorize novelizations, home video, etc.
As I understand it, TNT just gets the exclusive right
to broadcast them, probably for a limited time.

We only got as far as 16, which is annoying since 14 was where we *really*
cranked up the arc, and 16 was to be the season cliffhanger, shot early to
handle the rather hideous CGI that would have been involved.
The last one written, 16, synchronistically enough, was entitled "End of the
Line."
And WB owns the TV rights to the scripts.

Preferably Crusade gets huge ratings and TNT realises their mistake,
but failing that is there any chance that the unshot scripts could be
novelized by Del Rey?

So what happens to the remaining scripts? Would a second season pick
up where S1 leaves off (thereby using these scripts and continuing
your story), or would it sorta jump from midway through S1 to the
start of S2?

*TV* rights, eh? I notice you went out of your way to make that
clear.
