FTLNews has teamed up with the Save Sci-Fi Movement. Visit them at: https://www.facebook.com/SaveSciFi and at their website http://savescifi.grinningstudios.com. Below is their mission statement.
This has gone beyond a show, or two, or three! Science Fiction TV is under Assault. We MUST all band together to show our commitment! SCIENCE FICTION IS THE FUTURE. WILL YOU BE A PART OF THAT FUTURE?
I ask you all, what is the Future worth to you? Is it worth fighting with your every breath to make it the best future for your children? Is it worth your time to ensure that the human race and planet Earth HAVE a future? If that is so, why are you wasting your time watching Wrestling, Cooking, And Ghosts? The future is Space, The future is Colonization of other moons, planets, and Galaxies. Until we Humans establish a Presence in the Cosmos, we are incredibly vulnerable to a single disaster wiping us all out. NOW tell me, where does our drive to evolve come from? Where does our drive to reach out into the cosmos exist? Well let me tell you! It comes from our imagination, and is then reproduced into Science Fiction. Science Fiction shows us what we can do when we put our mind to it. WHERE is that drive? That Drive is in Jeopardy of burning out, and if that happens, we are doomed. Please, HELP US SAVE SCIENCE FICTION! SAVE THE FUTURE!

that is so true i think every one should get on bored with this one
Sorry but i think you mean on board…
It is a shame that the mass media panders to the will of a viewing audience with apparently limited intelligence and doesnt take account of people who have creativity and imagination in their blood.
I miss many programmes started by our ‘science fiction channel of choice’ that are cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons just because the numbers drop a little. I am not part of the ‘normal’ audience; I hate reality shows, boring soaps and anything to do with the Kardasians – whoever they are. But I am not alone in this, there are many others like me out there. So please join this cause otherwise we will have a television filled with Jersey Shore, Ice T and Bimbo, Dinner Party, etc. and along with the previous comment, if we don’t get on board, we will all certainly be bored!
Too true. Thatʻs why we made Strange Frame – Starring Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Ferngully), Claudia Black (Stargate SG1, Farscape), George Takei (Star Trek, Heroes), Michael Dorn (Star Trek, Transformers), Ron Glass (Barney Miller, Firefly, Serenity), Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Serenity, Transformers), Juliet Landau (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ed Wood), Cree Summer (Rugrats, Drawn Together, Transformers), Tara Strong (My Little Pony, Rugrats, Princess Mononoke) and Claudia Christian (Babylon5, Starhyke)
Hope you will check it out!
