The Station - AI Space Adventure Series

Growing up, I can remember waiting every week with bated breath to see what adventures the crew of the Starship Enterprise was going to get into on some distant world. Over the years, I've followed the franchise through the Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, & Enterprise, not to mention scads of movies. So, I was pleased to discover one AI video producer who has created a deep space SciFi series that has the same kind of look and feel as such series as Star Trek, Babylon 5, or The Expanse. I was so impressed with Doug Herring's latest work, that I decided to take the time to ask him a few questions about The Station.

Interview with the creator of The Station

In a nutshell, the first season introduces you to Anya Raynard, a former attorney turned astronaut. After enlisting in The Space Corps she is sent on a deep space survey mission to Planet Z 1846 B which contains life. Not sentient life, or even animal life. No, the planet is carpeted with an incredible variety of fungal lifeforms. After taking some samples from the surface back to the Talon orbiting space station, Anya and her crew of researchers is put in harm's way when the fungal spores break out of containment only to contaminate the station. Even worse is the fact that the space fungi quickly infects the crew. Season 1 takes you through the backstory that explains what Anya was forced to give up in order to participate in the mission. Plus, it graphically depicts the dangers that the crew of the Talon are forced to deal with on their own, since they're too far away from Earth to expect help to arrive in time to save them. Check out the first 4 episodes below. I'm waiting with bated breath for the season finale to come out next week. Stay tuned!
