[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I really like this story idea. I'm not sure if it can be made dramatic enough to be a TV show, but it definitely has potential nonetheless. I'm guessing, based on your name, that you've read Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy, [b]OnToMars[/b]? I see a number of similar themes here. The small group of astronauts on Mars, building the first permanent planet-based colony. Stewart reminds me of one of the main characters in "Red Mars" -- I forget his name, but IIRC he was the first astronaut to set foot on Mars. Now, I'm not saying this as criticism. Your outline is a great idea, sort of a "Red Mars" adapted for TV. As I said, it has lots of possibilities. One thing I'm not clear on, is just how big is the colony/settlement on Mars in total? Is it just the 24 people on the mission, the only Humans on the planet? Or are there others? I'm asking because while limiting the possibile characters to 24 gives the writers a wide enough base to develop plenty of the characters, and maintain enough interaction, it also might limit the possible external conflicts that the crew would encounter. Having only 24 people, with a very small number of possibile externally based problems, would probably limit the number of potential dramatic problems for the series to address. Still, it's a cool idea! :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
