Andromeda To Become Less Complex?
Prehensile Plant writes "After 7 years of Voyager and now the godawful Enterprise, the guy responsible for everything good about Deep Space Nine has just been sacked from the show he developed. Robert Hewitt Wolfe has parted company with the last bastion of scifi for people with half a brain - Andromeda. Wolfe said: "Basically, they want the show to be more action driven, more Dylan-centric, and more episodic. They also want more aliens, more space battles, and less internal conflict among the principal characters. Also, they want a lot less continuity so as not to confuse the casual or new viewer with too much backstory." Slipstream has the full scoop.
There's always Farscape and Lexx.
Jerry Springer is awesome once in a while. I liked the episode when this woman broke up with her boyfriend because she found a new one. On show she found out that her new boyfriend had a twin brother and they were both screwing her without her knowing. One would be having sex while the other hid in the bathroom. OF course it was never explained what would happen if she wanted to go to the bathroom.
"We will finally do something I can understand - less 'Star Trek' and more 'Hercules'. I'll be able to read my script without getting a headache. And I hope to be wearing tight leather pants soon."
I can see the next two Sci-Fi series now:
- StarFleet's Most Exciting Chases
- When Klingons Go Wild
Oh yeah, and several stupid "reality TV" dating/elimination shows. (But with aliens)
Maybe they'll turn TROOPS into a series...
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.

Wonderful! Next thing you know, you'll start seeing a few guest appearances by Lucy Lawless...
You're using her as bait, Master!
