Joss Whedon Is Creating a Sci-Fi Drama For Fox
grafikhugh writes "An article on Yahoo! News states that Joss Whedon, the creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel", is close to closing a deal with Fox. He will create thirteen episodes of a "Anti-Trek" Sci-Fi Drama to be a big player in Fox's fall 2002 line up.
Its seems Whedon wants to avoid aliens as the big bad, and concentrate on making "scary-ass" humans Living in a "Dark Place"." It's also worth noting the IMDB entries for a possible buffy spin-off Ripper and an animated Buffy.
Come on... not to troll or flame, but these shows only have popularity cause of one thing:
Great looking chicks.
Same reason why dawson's creek is popular. Star Trek got the same idea when they lost viewers to voyager. Enterprise has nice "soft porn" scenes. When I think a "SciFi" from the creator of "Buffy" is just gonna make another show with good looking women that bastardizes people like Heinlein.
Maybe he'll prove me wrong? Prolly not...
Ok, here's something else for you. Mmmm...
Why, with credits like those two spectacular shows, and with a target station of such unequaled reputation like Fox, I can't imagine that this would be anything but unadulterated television brilliance. Truly.
The coolest voice ever.
Am I the only one who is completely sick of unbelievable heroin pseudo hero's? Buffy sucks, the movie sucked and the series sucks even worse. Angel sucks. Take one beautiful babe, put a barcode on her neck, do some trick photo kicks and you've got a series. bla!
..but that's just me and I'm just right.
I know women need role models and that's fine but why do they have to try and reach everybody between the age of 16 and 80, male or female?
Don't you remember Dukes of Hazard and Charlies Angels? Separate the male/female fantasies and you're in business. Try to blend them together and you get Star Trek Voyager. Need I say more?
I will say more. I think it all started with Laura Croft.
