Continual Vigilance

Before you could say “That’s a wrap, Bob” fans of the syndicated television show Legend of the Seeker sprang into action and began organizing a protest campaign that is sweeping the world. Fans from Germany, Spain, Brazil, and other countries who have watched the show on the Internet are springing into action, hoping to compel ABC Domestic Television to keep the show alive for at least one more season.

The massive Web revolt began as a torrent of expressions of dismay on Twitter but quickly moved to a Legend of the Seeker fan forum. From there fan sites everywhere began picking up banners, linking back to the forum discussions, and rallying the troops for a desperate attempt to change corporate minds about the value of a television show that for all intents and purposes has no distribution channel. Even SyFy, well-known for carrying cheap, low-qualty fare like the odious Merlin refused to pick up the New Zealand-based show.

And that must seem odd, considering that the show was created by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, the geniuses behind Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. Legend of the Seeker is loosely based on the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth novels. Although hardcore Goodkind fans were not thrilled with the television production many other people were. Problem was, the Tribune Station Group — which has a reputation for abandoning science fiction shows and treating them like third-class citizens — pulled an about-face earlier this year and once again withdrew its support from a genre action/adventure show.

Seeker fans are done with Tribune, however. Now they are zeroing in on ABC Domestic Television to find another distribution channel — even if it’s the Internet (the infrastructure is there, but does ABC have the savvy to put together sufficient advertising to make it work?). Some Seeker fans are also pleading with SyFy to give Legend of the Seeker another consideration. It’s true that many people change the channel after Stargate: Universe finishes rather than watch Merlin. SyFy may have to find a replacement show for that timeslot anyway.

Whatever the outcome of this Internet battle, television networks are notorious for standing their ground. Fox did not bring back Firefly and many other shows that were canceled before their fandoms were done have also failed to find new life. Firefly got a movie, “Serenity”, and Farscape got a 4-hour mini-series. But even Hercules and Xena are waiting for some hope of resurrection — and that assumes stars Kevin Sorbo and Lucy Lawless would even seriously consider reprising the roles that propelled them to international stardom.

The future looks bleak for the Seeker, but the near-future looks intense for executives at ABC Domestic Television. A newly created blog, SaveTheSeeker.wordpress.com, has made it easy for fans to find out where all the online protest tools are — including an email form that sends messages to a couple dozen ABC executives. Ouch!

The United States of America protects the Citizen’s home from illegal searches and seizures on their property. The United States government without probable cause is not allowed to enter your home and search the premises without a search warrant from a U.S. court. Although the court system and a judicial system is politically motivated and politically based and therefore politically corrupted as well, we still have been able to maintain this rule. Nevertheless there are issues with pleasure boat craft, which are bordered by the U.S. Coast Guard and searched.

The U.S. Coast Guard says that it has the right to do this because you are on public waters. However, this inconvenience and disruption is simply not right. First of all they scare all the fish away when you are fishing and that is not fair and secondly the other day I was with a friend on our way to dinner and we were stopped and boarded.

It only took fifteen minutes total from start to finish, however we almost missed our dinner appointment and a very popular and expensive restaurant. I felt a little uneasy when my vessel was boarded by a bunch of 23-year-olds wearing machine guns. And they put boot scuffmarks on the deck.

You know, we failed to protect the borders of the United States of America from foreign invaders and now they are boarding the pleasure craft of U.S. citizens with machine guns. Go to hell! What happened to the America that I knew? Take your Gustopo NAZI crap and get off my boat.

If you really cared about international terrorism you would secure our borders and you would have nuked the Taliban and the whole country of Afghanistan, this is a joke. A bunch of silly hokum boarding a pleasure craft with U.S. citizens on it because you are afraid of terrorists; whose afraid the politicians, gee I wonder why? Spare me the BS!
