Jim dives in by asking Vic and Marc what inspired them to create the series. Vic explains that the original series had a strong emotional impact on him and that he wanted to bring that same passion to the fan-funded series. Marc explains that the original series had always been one of his favorites and that he was inspired to create a continuation of the original that would bring in new viewers as well as keep the legacy alive.
Jim then moves on to discuss the incredible success of the series. Vic and Marc explain that the series has received a significant amount of attention, both from fans and from professionals within the industry. They attribute this success to the fact that the series is fan-funded, allowing them to stay true to the original series in terms of the look and feel, while also introducing new characters and plots.
The conversation then turns to the challenges that Vic and Marc faced while creating the series. They explain that the most difficult part was finding the right balance between staying true to the original series and introducing something new. They also discuss the fact that they had to work within the restrictions of fan-funding, which means that they had to be creative in how they used their resources.
