Yeah, a number of shows are now adapting the B5 storytelling
model, with an overarching arc and shows that keep it going. The new
Roddenberry series has a five year arc of its own, apparently. More
will follow, now that we've broken the ice.

I honestly don't know how important the web has been because
frankly, if you added up all the web-users out there, it wouldn't be a
blip on the ratings charts. That said, our audience has definitely
increased over the last 4 years, one of the few syndicated shows that
has grown while nearly all the rest have fallen. Xena has grown, and I
think one or two others, but that's it.

It just takes any show a while to find its audience, or in this
case, for our audience to find *us*, given scheduling. We've begun
doing that, and are nearly at critical mass.

No, it was just a natural extension of already being online.
The only deliberate decision involved was, "Do I *change* my life and
what I do for pleasure just because I'm more well known now than
before?" I'm still the same person, so the answer was no.

I haven't seen much of Buffy, due to work schedules, but what
I've seen, I've liked. I also commend Tales from a Parallel Universe
on the Movie Channel to you...great stuff.
