Strange luck indeed was a great show. I was really hoping they'd continue
it and not that STUPID Sliders show that replaced it :( I was very
intriguiged by the premise. And the plot was just developing into something
VERY interesting. I loved the tie in w/ X-Files because it actually made
sense. They were very similar shows.

Never happen. AIC/Pioneer shows little or no intrest in developing the
character above what she was in the OAV (let alone what she was in TV). Do
you think they'd take money away from Photon, Vampire Princess Miyu TV, or
Bubblegum Crisis TV to make it? Doubtfull. The fact that it would be Tenchi
related would give it a slight chance of happening though. It'd be more
likely that we'd see a series chronicling Ryoko as a space pirate. That'd
be interesting.
