I pledged 10$ as I am also fascinated by the premise and I have a lot of loose change I dont want to have to roll. Just promise me there will be a reference to cigarettes as they have a short shelf life compared to canned food. When the cigarettes all go stale then it will be a crisis. I’m not a smoker myself I just live in Virginia.

Why isn't this a webseries?

Because it's a TV show. This would be great in prime time on some network to cash in on all the Lost viewers waiting for the next show structured around revealing a mystery through flashbacks. But there's nothing about it that caters to the medium of the internet. It's just a (good) TV show that happens to have episodes online.

I don't think anyone has figured out quite how to take advantage of the internet with a web series. LonelyGirl15 pretended to be a video blog, and was interactive. Dr. Horrible purports to be a blog and has catchy songs, but I still think the medium is ripe for something we haven't figured out yet.

Remnants, as great a show as it could be, isn't it.

John:

Didn't Dr. Horrible make all wonders of buckets of cash? I mean, they certainly made up from the production budget (and then some) of $250k, based on Hulu revenue, iTunes downloads, and DVD sales. I've seen figures that iTunes downloads alone counted for north of $2 million.

Certainly something that was far less at $25k per episode (less than that, as you say, for all ten) could make its money back, even if you don't have a Whedon-sized fanbase.
