Buffistas

That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Buffy ,'Potential'

The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax

[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I always thought hey should forget Aquababy and go more Teen Titans...

While a Teen Titans-style series done right would be cool, I have little faith in it actually being done right. Plus, you've got to do special effects for multiple characters every week, rather than just one plus the possible baddy. That said, I'd love to see a series with the current (pre-Infinite Crisis, anyway) Titans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

TT would require a lot of costuming/makeup too. Cyborg and Gar right off the bat. Sounds expensive.

I wish Birds of Prey had been done right. So much potential.

I don't know that green body paint and hair dye would cost all that much for Gar (they had to have spent what, $5 on Cesar Romero's Joker getup?), but the transformation CGI would be a bitch, even without the need for realistic fleshtones.

I've yet to see green body paint and hair dye (I would assume wigs) that don't look like ass, and I'm wholeheartedly including the Hulk here. Star Trek was pretty much the last show to have regulars sitting around in full makeup, weren't they? What were their costs like, I wonder.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Farscape?

Sorry--I failed to transcribe my rich inner life--I meant on the main networks. Where did TNG air? It was cancelled before I came to the US, and I do remember that it ended pre-UPN.

TNG and DS9 were syndicated.

Cyborg and Gar right off the bat.

Starfire, too. Though I suppose gold skin and green all-eye contacts wouldn't be too tough.

And there's also the Superboy angle. People (and execs) would wonder why have two show's featuring him (counting Smallville), not realizing they're different characters.

ETA: I'd imagine the make-up for Cyborg would be really, really, really hard to do right. Which is probably part of the reason Smallville chumped out on it, I suppose.

Go back to TT of old, and he's no longer an issue.

Forgot Starfire. Her hair would have to be a disappointment.
