Yesterday, I posted an entry<\/a> about L5, a completely crowd-funded sci-fi series pilot. I received an excellent comment from another fan that brought me some excellent information<\/a>. It seems that L5’s first episode has already reached over a million downloads! That’s pretty impressive. Unfortunately, it seems that there have only been a little over $7,500 donated to the project since the first episode was released. Imagine, if only a fifth of those that downloaded the episode donated $5, they’d be able to fund 5 seasons of the series at the same budget per episode. Or double the budget per episode and give us two solid seasons of the show.<\/p>\n

So, I’m including a link here to the donation page<\/a> for L5 so that you can choose to give your next caramel macchiato to a worthy cause. And when you do, let me know and I’ll invite you to the first season watch party. Hopefully that happens in 2012 and not 2889.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
