[Story][Season 0][WIP] Whistling

[Warringer]

From a Discovery Channel meeting after the taping:

"We can't air it."

Mike looked gobsmacked. "What? It's one of the best episodes we've ever made!"

"I never said it wasn't." The television executive took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose. "We're getting... pressure... to not air shows favorable to Fen. We're having a hard enough time keeping Mythbusters going. If it weren't for the strong Australian and BBC backing, they'd already be cancelled."

We've got some McCarthy-like "Fen Scare" politicos already established in Fenspace, and they're doing the infamous "Queen Stands on the beach and demands the tide not come in."

I'd imagine "The Big Bang Theory" didn't do too well... or exploded even more than IRL due to the controversy over geek culture.

Perhaps they at least put the episode up on the Interwave...
Maybe they even get some NASA backing here as Whistler is doing a job that is good for Earth as well. Besides its after Kandor Con that might help a little too...
EDIT:
A thought... Discovery may not air the Space episode of Dirty Jobs in America over their fear of being sued by someone, but may air it elsewhere, with fans torrenting the episode. Or something like that.
