711
00:30:42,940 –> 00:30:44,710
You had quite a bit of cash to lose
712
00:30:44,840 –> 00:30:46,470
from the cancelation of The Last Frontier, didn’t you?
713
00:30:46,570 –> 00:30:48,440
I had three clients on that show. You do the math.
714
00:30:48,540 –> 00:30:50,710
But I didn’t kill Tony Hart,
715
00:30:50,880 –> 00:30:52,250
though I wish I had.
716
00:30:52,410 –> 00:30:53,750
And why is that?
717
00:30:54,880 –> 00:30:56,320
Because canceling The Last Frontier
718
00:30:56,420 –> 00:30:58,120
is the stupidest thing Tony’s ever done.
719
00:30:58,220 –> 00:31:01,560
Do you realize how rare a show like this is?
720
00:31:01,720 –> 00:31:04,460
TK wanted to give audiences a digestible reflection
721
00:31:04,560 –> 00:31:07,860
of their own world through the lens of fantasy.
722
00:31:08,300 –> 00:31:10,630
Social commentary with rubber masks
723
00:31:10,746 –> 00:31:11,845
and buried metaphors.
724
00:31:11,869 –> 00:31:14,115
You know, science fiction.
725
00:31:14,275 –> 00:31:16,002
And the studio did not agree with this vision?
726
00:31:16,400 –> 00:31:18,910
They were more…
727
00:31:19,070 –> 00:31:20,340
cautious.
728
00:31:20,440 –> 00:31:22,910
Didn’t want to “make waves.” The cowards.
729
00:31:23,080 –> 00:31:25,750
TK wanted Frontier to take our rotten world,
730
00:31:25,880 –> 00:31:28,250
with its warts and injustices,
731
00:31:28,420 –> 00:31:30,280
and give audiences something better.
732
00:31:30,420 –> 00:31:33,050
And all of that with weekly space adventures?
733
00:31:33,190 –> 00:31:35,860
You don’t find the idea inspiring?
734
00:31:35,960 –> 00:31:38,630
You don’t think some kid out there is going to see this show
735
00:31:38,790 –> 00:31:41,000
and spend the rest of their life searching the stars?
736
00:31:41,100 –> 00:31:44,100
You don’t think a person can love a piece of art
737
00:31:44,230 –> 00:31:46,800
or music or a story so much
738
00:31:46,930 –> 00:31:48,540
that it heals them?
739
00:31:48,640 –> 00:31:51,870
Shows them parts of themselves they’d never even seen before?
740
00:31:52,010 –> 00:31:53,140
And give them hope?
741
00:31:53,310 –> 00:31:54,480
Um…
742
00:31:55,580 –> 00:31:57,380
Well, no, of-of course I do.
743
00:31:57,510 –> 00:31:59,750
A show like this could’ve gone on forever.
744
00:31:59,880 –> 00:32:01,050
Given generations
745
00:32:01,180 –> 00:32:03,480
of fans a place to feel seen, to belong,
746
00:32:03,620 –> 00:32:06,320
something to believe in again,
747
00:32:06,450 –> 00:32:09,320
no matter who they were or where they came from.
748
00:32:10,520 –> 00:32:14,760
But you can’t do any of that without a season two.
