Note: Consider condensing each season into hour-long, action-packed episodes. With each new episode, an anthology of a year passes, if that would make sense to the audience. So 5 episodes instead of seasons, depending on other writers who want to jump on board and flesh out the history and additional characters to add extra plots to the last 5 seasons. I know I can do at least 5 episodes.

Status: Refining Pilot script. Future episodes are pending.
