Title: GHOST-APOCALYPIC FUTURE- First Air Date: 10/1/97
- This is one of my favorites. Kylie starts writing in her diary, who wonders if anyone will remember her. However, a time-slip occurs, and she winds up in the not too distant future, while someone from that time goes to her time. And that's not their only problem; a ghost named Tempus, splits in half, while the time-slip occurs. As the past Tempus tries to refufill his mission, Kylie must find a way to stop the Tempus of the future, who is RULER of New York City!
Writer Steve Perry's comments (from our original interview):
NetSolo: Mr. Perry, could you tell us a little about the episode which you wrote for the Extreme Ghostbusters series?
Steve Perry: The working title for my episode was called "Ghost-Apocalyptic Future," and is based on Marty Isenberg's and Bob Skir's outline. Briefly, the story concerns a trans-temporal ghost who can shift to our time from a future where ghosts rule the cities. As part of the plot, Kylie winds up in that future, in exchange for a ghostbuster from that time.
NS: Wow! Sounds like a very deep episode! Which Extreme Ghostbusters character (if any) did you find yourself growing attached to while writing the episode?
SP: I enjoyed them all, although I have a fondness for Egon, since I wrote about him on the old show, The Real Ghostbusters (with my writing partner Michael Reaves), some years back. Hardcore fans will probably remember that our story editor on the old show now writes and produces a live-action show of his own, called . . . Babylon 5. That's Joe Straczynski.)
