This better belongs in Boxed Set, but I'm three eps of BSG away from being able to go in anymore. It's about a new pilot for Sci Fi -- "Dresden Files," based on Jim Butcher novels, and executive produced by Jor ElNicholas Cage.
I was talking to Colin about Eureka, and where it can live on the network, and it occurred to me that the concept sits neatly with The 4400 and Dead Zone, and he pointed out that once upon a time, that's precisely where it'd have gone, and that if either of those shows was starting now, they'd be on the Sci Fi channel -- that's the way the studio is segmenting their viewership.
But it's too late now -- they're USA all the way. So Sci Fi has to find two more less spacey shows to put a good block together for another night of new programming. Which should be cool, if they work. (Their other main option is Painkiller Jane -- which has Richard Roundtree and
Tate Donovan attached to it).
That's delightful news, Dana. ABOUT YOUR PARENTS.
Oh, dear that's really funny.
But she's right, it is delightful news. I hope the co-sleeping was good too.
It was cute. The ASSCAPS of backpedaling.
Yay Dana!
This is totally true, but her idea was unique on the network. Everybody else was doing elaborate party meals, she’s giving new ideas for everyday food.
Defintely -- I think it's a great idea for a show, but I hate the BFD she makes about being able make a... complete -- and healthful! -- meal from start to finish in the time it takes you to watch this show. I think mostly I miss Sara Moulton's live show.
The ASSCAPS of backpedaling.
It was not backpedaling, it was placing the comment in the proper context, lest it be misconstrued in the flurry of other conversations!
Butcher has been saying for yonks that Marsters is his dream Harry Dresden; Marsters does the audiobooks.
Are the Dresden books good, Betsy?
The first one's pretty good. It's the same old magic-noir, but it's much, much more noir than most. I couldn't finish the current (sixth?) one.
