My vote is for Space Above and Beyond.
Yes! I was missing that show the other week.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
Depends on how much I win. In the current LA real estate market, I could end up winning $20M and only be able to afford buying you a condo. But, you know, I'll buy you something. I'm buying Polgara a car.
Woo hoo!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can I have a cage?

Are you gonna wrestle Allyson inside it?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Just yesterday, you were bragging that you had a cage. "It's my cage", you said. Did you go and lose it somewhere, missy?

Hey, look! it's bloodthirsty!ita -- she's just so adorable, and I missed her while she was being played by physical-therapy-and-work!ita.
Also, I'm glad she's 3000 miles away right now.

I fought the law and I won!
Ain't It Cool News is reporting George Lucas has plans to do a live action Star Wars television series in 2006/2007 and he's currently looking for a showrunner. How about Tim? George would probably go with Fox for the tv show since they distribute the Star Wars movies and Tim has a deal with Fox, doesn't he? I know some folks are soured on Lucas because of the special editions and prequels but in the right hands I think a Star Wars series could be something special. The key prerequisite for anyone signing on would most likely be creative control. Lucas has allowed the showrunner of Samurai Jack to have complete creative control over the Cartoon Network's Clone Wars series so there is hope. What do you think? (and if you're lurking Tim, feel free to chime in as well)

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Sadly, I'm in the sour bunch, because I thought the original trilogy was quite an accomplishment.
Right now, I think Lucas is badly in need of someone who will say "no" that he will listen to.
My completely biased opinion based on travesty of Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, where the stories didn't even hold to their own internal logic, imo.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
George Lucas has plans to do a live action Star Wars television series in 2006/2007 and he's currently looking for a showrunner.
I'm unclear on where in the Star Wars universe timeline this would occur. Plucky Jedi being picked off one by one, as the evil empire grows? Plucky rebels fighting the evil empire, on the run and in desperate poverty (and with a couple of mega-genocides to boot)? Plucky ex-rebels sitting around in council meetings trying to build some new form of interplanetary government?
On the up side, given that the universe already has an annoying Luke Skywalker type character, the main character would not be revealed as the Second Coming, Secret Prince, or any other Fate-besmirched plot object.
