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.
First Panda.
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.

Star trek is the best, and the best captain of the
enterprise ever is Kirk. Here are my reasons for this decision:
1) I am pretty sure Picard is gay.
2) Sisco is cool sometimes, but he wasn't
captain of the Enterprise (even though the
Defiant is pretty cool).
3) Riker wtf is wrong with you? You had the
chance to bang Counseller Troy but you didn't
take it. Idiot.
4) Janeway needs to take some lessons on
navigating a star ship. When they passed through
the plasma wave that took the ship across the
galaxy it took approximately 14 seconds for
the ship to traverse the entire distance. This
is physically impossible, as muons and neutrinos
can not traverse a strong tachyon field quickly
enough to cause this velocity.
5) Pike is a complete idiot. He didn't do very
good on that machine with the two little lights
on it.
6) It's to soon to tell about Archer in the
new Enterprise, but he should get it on with
that Vulcan girl, that is the only reason I watch
this show, I'm hoping for it to happen. They
should put Quantum Leap back on the air.
7) Kirk is a badass. When the shit starts to go
down, Kirk isn't going anywhere until its over.
Plus Kirk is a player, each episode Kirk is
slamming some new alien chick.
8) Spock is sexy.
PS here are my favorite Star Trek Quotes:
WARP SPEED AHEAD, SULU!
STAND BY FOR SAUCER SEPERATION.
TEA, EARL GREY, HOT.
ENTER.
SHUTUP WESLEY.
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.
