Of course I would have actually made it Australia.<br />If anything the fact we already had an extremely so-so series with that premise makes it a bit odd to pitch something K9-focused with such a similar setup, though. The Tin Dog really does only work well in a supporting role.<br /><br />I'd love to see the SJA K9's adventures with Ace post-Farewell, Sarah Jane... but I feel that's such a fanwankery idea it'd only really suit a Big Finish series aimed at fans, less a pitch for general audiences.Drinkplentyofmalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780819195979164363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-59176566877879503962021-02-02T01:52:30.139-04:002021-02-02T01:52:30.139-04:00Wherever he turns up, it should be an end-of-the-e...Wherever he turns up, it should be an end-of-the-episode surprise that nobody could see coming. Think Baby Yoda in the first episode of "The Mandalorian". Or how Marvel Studios should have handled Spider-Man in "Captain America: Civil War" (seriously, can you imagine how the internet would have freaked out opening weekend if that hadn't been spoiled in the first ad?)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382811944483828955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-38600885770779254062021-02-01T10:10:39.838-04:002021-02-01T10:10:39.838-04:00I think animation might be the best thing for K9. ...I think animation might be the best thing for K9. Maybe done in 2-D anime style. He could be the leader of a small group of companions. The companions should have abilities that make up in areas that K9 might lack--like empathic powers, something strength related (maybe growth) powers, etc. But it should avoid being too childish-- make the target audience a little older. tomghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217504578676460449noreply@blogger.com
