That's a huge investment in time and effort to walk away from, and surely has value, even if it needs to be scaled down or something. But that doesn't quite make sense to me since EQAL has funding and Bebo did well getting sponsors for the show.<BR/><BR/>But whatever the details, surely the original U.S. LG15 creators now have good relations with the KM production team staff, and the note does seem to hint at future collaborations. "we’ll be producing new interactive shows in the US, UK, and around the world."<BR/><BR/>So my best guess is we have more, not less, to look forward to from all the LG15 and KM producers, and this is about doing it under the EQAL logo, in an AOL free zone. Unfortunately, that may mean they have to throw the Bebo out with the bath water.<BR/><BR/>A great move would be to announce a new show with some of the same actors as KM winds down.QtheChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218758159201317186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-14874936815270286892008-05-12T14:33:00.000-07:002008-05-12T14:33:00.000-07:00Tariq is in India.Charlie is from Oz.Didn't the C'...Tariq is in India.<BR/>Charlie is from Oz.<BR/><BR/>Didn't the C's talk about a spinoff in another country???

Perhaps some of the Katemodern actors are too busy with other projects to continue.<BR/><BR/>All i hope is that we see Lauren in another EQUAL interactive show set in the UK. Terrance is still out there, Lauren still wants to fight the order. I hope we have a spin-off of Katemodern with some of the characters, it would be great.KindredPhantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983693510652870312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-73114188785417706652008-05-12T12:19:00.000-07:002008-05-12T12:19:00.000-07:00The reality is that if KM cannot make it as a comm...The reality is that if KM cannot make it as a commercial product what hope is there for the rest of the genre.modelmotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005411582406219607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-76486193140797350152008-05-12T12:05:00.000-07:002008-05-12T12:05:00.000-07:00cassi, EQAL just got $5 million in funding.Now mak...cassi, EQAL just got $5 million in funding.<BR/><BR/>Now make sense of this.modelmotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005411582406219607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-28807650554735594842008-05-12T11:25:00.000-07:002008-05-12T11:25:00.000-07:00After sitting on this news for a couple minutes an...After sitting on this news for a couple minutes and calming down...<BR/><BR/>I am happy.

You don't know Greg or Amanda so don't pretend that you know everything that's going on. Because I'm fairly sure that the decision wasn't fully Greg's and it certainly wasn't Amanda's.<BR/><BR/>Kate Modern's production team has always known best, I'm sure there's a reason for doing this too. Personally? I think that Tara's lack of appearance in the series lately reminds me of when Jessica Lee Rose started appearing less and less and do you all remember how that ended up? Rather than contiue a show without the main chatacter I think they're learning from their mistakes and pulling the plug for everything so it ends on a good note.<BR/><BR/>That's just my two cents. It's business, and we're all sad to see it go. But don't take it out on anyone because this isn't anyone's fault. Series grow, they end, it's nothing personal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
