Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

SCI FI Green-Lights Tin Man

SCI FI Channel has given a green light to Tin Man, a wild SF reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, as its next six-hour original miniseries. Written by Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle (The Pretender), Tin Man (working title) is slated to begin shooting in Vancouver, B.C., in early 2007, with an eye to a December 2007 premiere. Casting is currently underway. SCI FI is re-teaming with RHI Entertainment (Legend of Earthsea) to produce Tin Man.

The miniseries is a sometimes psychedelic, often twisted and always bizarre take on The Wizard of Oz. It centers on DG, a young woman plucked from her humdrum life and thrust into The Outer Zone (the O.Z.), a fantastical realm filled with wonder, but oppressed by dark magic. DG discovers her true identity, battles evil winged monkey-bats and attempts to fulfill her destiny. Her perilous journey begins on the fabled Old Road that leads to a wizard known as the Mystic Man. Along the way, she is joined by "Glitch," an odd man missing half his brain; "Raw," a quietly powerful wolverine-like creature longing for inner courage; and "Cain," a heroic former policeman (known in the O.Z. as a "Tin Man"), who is seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG's destiny leads her to a showdown with the wicked sorceress Azkadellia, whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could have imagined.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

People, did we learn nothing from the movie version of The Wiz? This is a BAD IDEA!

Maybe they could do a scifi reimagining of "Annie." It turns out that Daddy Warbucks is developing A.I. weapons technology. They all live in a fantastic alternate reality, where no one has eyes....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The gun will come out tomorrow...

Please, please, oh, please can Mansquito show up as the Jitterbug?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Promo Guy seems to be promising that we'll learn the Why and Why Now of it, perhaps that will have some bearing on this.

The Heroes Promo Guy? Not so reliable. I think they show him soundless clips of the show and make him guess what to say.

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.

WTF?!!!??!?!?!1111!!!

Re: Heroes

So, since the beginning of the series, author Peter David has been referring to Claire as Cheerverine on his blog. I just got it today. For some reason I was reading it as Cheerevine and wondering what the hell he was talking about.

Duh.

On a more relevant note, I'm wondering if I've been on the wrong track regarding Sylar. Aside from Telekinesis, what powers have we seen him demonstrate? He got shot and got back up, but that could be due to a telekinetic shield absorbing most of the impact. Same for falling off the highschool roof. One of his victims was frozen solid before the brain was removed, but I realized today that maybe the victim had some form of ice powers and he'd iced himself up ala Iceman.

Of course, this doesn't exactly explain why Sylar is taking the brains, and I think he's a much cooler and scarier villain if he actually is stealing various powers via the brains of those he kills. I'm just realizing there's not really a lot of evidence for the theory in retrospect.

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

Sylar is obviously a zombie. With TK.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Tin Man sounds like a laff riot. I'll be on the couch, with popcorn.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This sort of thing never goes well...
