Now if only CL Moore could've worked on a few episodes of Farscape...
Amen.
Or if Leigh Brackett, with her sf and the screenwriting chops, could have lived to write post-Star Wars films.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

The status is NOT quo.
Kristen, you're right. It was blasphemy.
But fun!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Okay that's just blasphemy.
I actually gasped at how mean it was to even accuse your boy in jest of writing that piece of shit.

Do I really look like the kind of person who would have a website for the writer of Ep 1?
I may be a sycophant but I have standards, damnit.

I may be a sycophant
rereads Kristen's Firefly reviews
looks up "sycophant" in dictionary
decides to run out for a pepsi and stop trying to figure out if that word means what Kristen thinks it means.

Well obviously. He was busy with the next prequel script. That Lucas is a slavedriver.

No. It just doesn't work as a Minearian concept.

What kind of nutso planet elects a teenager to wield supreme executive power?
This is a good point. The planet would have to be nutso. But if the teenager were reasonably smart, and if she spoke the local language fluently, and if she had at least a modest level of interest in public policy and foreign affairs, then the nutso planet would be well ahead of nutso earth in the matter of supreme executives.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Barry ... thanks for the interesting posts. I think you're a loony but like all the other loonies on this board, you're articulate, passionate and an asset to the discussions.
To bring us back to topic: if the rumours of a TV series based in the Star Wars universe are true, Tim's or Joss' involvement is the only thing that would make me contemplate watching.
