The internet has done wonders for creators trying to get out their dream projects to an audience that might not get to see it otherwise. TV networks and even streaming services can only greenlit a certain amount of content at one time. For TV they only have so much room on their schedule, and like TV networks even Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, the premium YouTube service, and all the upcoming flood of “take your money” services only have so much money they can budget for original programming. So regular YouTube or Vimeo backed by Kickstarter or Patreon are the best way to go these creators have.
Tonight we have Space Command, a would-be TV/streaming series by TV writer Marc Scott Zicree. He’s written for everything from Star Trek to Superfriends, and runs a YouTube channel called Mr. Sci-Fi discussing science fiction and his work. However he has his own project he wanted to put out. The show’s website says it’s about three families of veteran space pilots, but from what I can tell the show is about one man, Captain Jack Kemmer, newly assigned to the Paladin following a major rescue. The version I’m showing you tonight features Zicree discussing the project before launching into the first half of the two-hour pilot, “Redemption”. It’s Kemmer’s first day on the job, and already he has to deal with sentient androids and…well, you’ll see in the video. Remember, it’s only the first hour, at this time a teaser for the series. There is another version that is the same, just without the opening commentary. If you prefer that here’s that link. Otherwise, enjoy.
