Slight possibility of fun happening
Apr. 10th, 2013 11:45 pmSo I've heard that Oblivion is pretty but lacking substance (just like Tom Cruise) and that means that even if it can deliver the effects one needs to look for story somewhere else. From the beginning Elysium was a surer bet (even if just for people involved). Will see if it's going to deliver. For now we can enjoy the trailer.
Syfy announced a large batch of very interesting projects it's developing - from miniseries based on Larry Niven's Ringworld and Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End to large batch of original space shows and few more non-space ones. All of them sound like they could be interesting in the right hands and if any of the space ones will actually get made I may even start pronouncing its name as sci-fi. Of course chances are high nothing of this will ever get made and the only space based show is going to be the remake of Blake's 7 which seems to follow typical route of the remakes of British shows - prettier cast, blander characters and more cliches. But I'm week and if you dangle spaceships in front of me I will come, and watch, even if it's not all that good.
Anyway out of those shows Infinity and Clandestine seem the most space-operish which is why I'm drawn to them the most but I also love the idea of Orion> because she seems like exactly the kind of character I would love. The Silver Shields also sounds interesting but a series based on The Watch is coming too and that's always going to be my first choice.
Add to that the android cop show (human - AI relations are my another pet love) and some other genre shows in development and there might actually be something interesting on TV pretty soon.
