Ah, Gothick - always seeing the sunny side of every situation.
But so far as Rainey's questions go, I'd have to look up the stats, but I don't know off hand how much the '91 series contributed to Fest attendance. I'm sure it bumped attendance up - particularly when several actors from the '91 series attended the Fests in the early-to-mid '90s. However, I think that Sci-Fi's showings of the original DS contributed to a bigger bump in attendance.
I think that regardless of whether the WB pilot gets picked up or not, the Fest will probably have something about it. If it doesn't, it would really be nice if they showed the pilot. And if it does get a pickup, then it would be nice if they give us sort of a sneak peek. But with the Fest being in August and in NY, who knows if any of the actors would be available to attend because by August the show would already be in production. (Though I suppose someone could always fly in for a day appearance.)
As for what effect a hit WB DS might have on the Fests, well, there's no question but that it would only help the Fests become bigger than they already are...
