I would be swearing right now, except that it’s being produced by Kevin Bacon (who will, naturally, also starring in it). That’s the good news. The contentious news is that they’re going to be calling upon the great god Retcon, apparently:
As many of you may already know, Tremors has continued to exist in the form of straight-to-DVD productions. Unfortunately, Bacon never returned for any of them. Instead, Fred Ward and Michael Gross would make several appearances. Bacon’s character in the movie was touched upon in a quick life update, but nothing would evolve from it. In this new series, Bacon plans on putting the stories of the DVDs aside.
I loved Tremors, and I think that I maybe saw Tremors 2. And then I stopped. So, this does not alarm me. But there’s a reason why those direct-to-DVD shows exist, and I wonder how those fans are going to react. I’d also like to note that Fred Ward and Michael Gross are themselves still alive, and would almost certainly not mind drawing a paycheck for this one. Having that happen might mitigate ill feelings over the aforementioned retconning that might occur.
Just saying, that’s all.
The squeals are bad. You were right to stop at 2. It got really silly in 3, when they started flying.
…Oh, dear.
Mad science. You know what *that* means.

p.s. you don’t? It means never asking “what’s the worst that could happen?”, of course!
Hah! But I will show them — show them ALL!
I have always been a huge fan of Fred Ward. He deserves it for Cast a Deadly Spell if for nothing else.
