[Doretta78] here here
[MikeMcCafferty] I get nightmares sometimes!
[fawkesielady] cool!!!
[MikeMcCafferty] I guess Scifi would have to be the answer to that one

[MikeMcCafferty] I did see X-Men and I liked it alot too

* sage26 looks at Nef and spook
[fawkesielady] me to Mike

[MikeMcCafferty] I realize Wolverine is a popular answer here
[Nebula] nightcrawler!!!!!!!
[WyldInvisiChyld] lol
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] Fawkes-fan, your question
[CitrusBlast] Very popular
* Nebula LOVES nightcrawler!
[Fawkes-fan] Hi Mike! Thanks for coming. Is there any chance of The Official treating Eberts with more respect in the future? I feel so badly for poor Eberts.
* MrsSpooky thinks Mike has NO idea. Heheh
[MikeMcCafferty] The acting blew me away in that movie
* RevTrask suspects mike of...pandering to his audience, lol!
[IvyThePlant] did i see s[rite and nightcrawler?
[MikeMcCafferty] To be honest I think recalling season 1.5 I think there's going to be less respect for Eberts
[MrsSpooky] Awwwww
[MikeMcCafferty] he gets the bad end of a lot of deals ther
[MikeMcCafferty] there*
[fawkesielady] AW!NO!
[CitrusBlast] Oh no!
[Helena] poor eberts
[Jago-ji] :(
[IvyThePlant] oop...She Who Must Be Obeyed just demanded the phone line...i have to go

* sage26 tears up, oh no!
* silverist gasps!
[WyldInvisiChyld] lol
[sahall77] DOH
* WyldInvisiChyld sort of loves that line.
* RevTrask say farewell to Ivy!
* R2 grabs her pitch fork and torch
[R2] GEMS -- UNITE
[I-Mom] Bye Ivy
[Misbe] bye Ivy - tell Mom we said hi..

[MikeMcCafferty] Thanks for coming
[MikeMcCafferty] Thanks for the recasts Ivy
[fawkesielady] bye ivy
[IvyThePlant] thank you mike for chatting with us!
[MikeMcCafferty] your welcome
[MikeMcCafferty] next question? GS
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[IvyThePlant] glad you liked the recasts *g*
[KatrynSedai] Dor - your turn, hon :-)
[Doretta78] MIKE!!! :) You rock! Do you ever get the chance to read any fan fiction? And if so...did you get a chance to check out the contest fics on R2's site?
* Doretta78 shakes Mike's hand...
* Nebula wants to know what mike thinks of her site..but will keep her mouth shut ^_^
[MikeMcCafferty] I would like too, I've read a couple of them early on but because of copywrite infringement on storiest that seem similar I can't really
[MikeMcCafferty] I"ve been trying to write a script for I-Man and if I accidentally incorportate someone's fanfic into my story I could be sued for plagerism
[Doretta78] oh man...
* R2 notes she would LOVE for a piece of her fic to make it into one of Mike's scripts
* Doretta78 slaps the stupid question badge on
[MikeMcCafferty] I know that none of you guys would ever sue, but ...
[Spud] ouy...that's not always good. Unless...Kevin comes back!
[Doretta78] do over!
[sage26] never!
* RevTrask says that why unsolicited scripts are returned unopened
[Doretta78] What'd you get for xmas?
[Doretta78] *g
[MikeMcCafferty] just the fact that people know I read fanfics online means I could be open to any litigation because someone could say I stumbled across theirs somewhere else
[Fawkes-fan] the only stupid question is the one you do not ask
* sage26 snatches away Dor's stupid question badge, throws it on the ground, and smushes it into small pieces
[Doretta78] lol
[MikeMcCafferty] so I wish I could but ... I think I'm gonna have to stop
* Doretta78 turns off sage's speakers
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[fawkesielady] we understand Mike
[KatrynSedai] Delka - you're up, hon
[Delka] Okay here goes "How important do you think the fans are to the show?" 'Or better yet what do you think of us IMan fans?"
[MikeMcCafferty] I think fans are the biggest resource to any scifi show
[MikeMcCafferty] just look at Star Trek or Babylon 5
* RevTrask sits back and basks in the adoration
[MikeMcCafferty] I think a fan is worth 20 regular viewers of any show because you'll go out of your way to make someone watch the show
[MikeMcCafferty] I think I-Man fans are AMAZING
[WyldInvisiChyld] =^D)
[Helena] Woop for Imaniacs :-)
[Misbe] Well, at least he didn't say scary...
[MikeMcCafferty] the fact that you've rallied around this show after only 14 episodes and you stuck around through this horrendous 3 month hiatus
[fawkesielady] aw shucks (blush)
[Doretta78] lol
[MrsSpooky] LOL Misbe
* sage26 blushes..aww, shucks
[Doretta78] horrendous INDEED
[Nebula] the madness is getting to us!
* R2 is about to go NUTSO over here
* WyldInvisiChyld thinks of all the stuff she gets from eBay too.
[I-Mom] Endless 3 months
[Fawkes-fan] QSM everywhere
[Adelheide] 3 loooong months
[MikeMcCafferty] so I knew from the very beginning I wanted to reach out to you and that you had a voice and we'd listen to you
* Spud is already nutz, what's three months gonna do?
* Misbe looks at a room full of iman junkies going through withdrawal...
[Doretta78] I look longinly at my windex bottle every day
[Helena] and that annoying switch to a east coast west coast feed
[ZombieTongue] We stuck to the show from the 1st eppy. that says a lot
* Nebula passes out the straight jackets to everyone
* RevTrask notices R2's eyes look kinda...red, (gulp)
[MikeMcCafferty] I think that in season 1.5 you guys will be rewarded
[fawkesielady] COOL!!!
[Doretta78] YAY!
[sahall77] YAYYYYYY
* Spud does the Arnaud Swiss-Douche dance of joy
[MrsSpooky] We have been already with the great work y'all have done so far, and we can't wait for 1.5
[CitrusBlast] Awesome!
[Fawkes-fan] Great!
* silverist quietly wipes away a tear and smiles....
[I-Mom] Oh God, is it January 8th yet!!!
* Nebula can't wait!
[Delka] worth the wait :)
* fawkesielady dreams of Jan 8th
[Fawkes-fan] you bet it's worth the wait
[MikeMcCafferty] It will be worth it, trust me
* Doretta78 giggles as Adel sits quietly contemplating...
[Adelheide] What?
[Fawkes-fan] We trust you, Mike

[KatrynSedai] Carli - your turn, hon :-)

[MikeMcCafferty] next question?
* RevTrask stares suspiciously at the room as it behaves oddly...
[Carli33] Hiya Mike! We're honored to have you with us! You probably know me as Keeper of PBV, Paul's friend Suzi, and I've heard wonderful things about you! My question is, would you like to see Eberts in a relationship with the Keeper?
[Doretta78] oh wow
[MrsSpooky] Ooooooh

* sage26 looks to the east and sees a cloud...all that is left of our beloved R2, exploding
[Helena] Ya big tease Mike
* Lisa-SmartyPants giggles Oh Boy!
* silverist starts throwing pillows everywhere...
* Doretta78 shakes her finger at the writers
[R2] Carli asked if Eberts would hook up with Claire
[MikeMcCafferty] Uh .. the answer is ...
* RevTrask now wonders if anyone else's screen is all jumpity?
[MikeMcCafferty] No
* Spud is starting to shake *
[MrsSpooky] No they're not, or no you aren't going to answer? :D
[Nebula] hehe!
[Misbe] you are a bad boy, Mike..
[MikeMcCafferty] I think you will see some connections, but nothing with Eberts
[Nebula] =D
[MrsSpooky] AwwWWWW
