At this point - I think that there may be a program or two in the scifi/fantasy genre that will take off and be big enough to get it's own thread.
Yep, that's my hope. Specifically, I hope that
Pushing Daisies
ends up being a great show and in need of its own thread since I fully intend to watch it and would love to chat about it with the rest of you.
NPR's tv critic was raving about it, or at least the pilot, yesterday. Also, it was in Glamour's "Things You'll Love" page. I'm hearing good things.
Kristin, I think there was some talk of Pushing Daisies winding up in Minearverse. Would that work for you?

See, I don't understand that at all. Thread not called Fullerverse. If Pushing Daisies goes there, why not Heroes?
...crap, I have a meeting.
I was going to say the same thing. It's not a Minear show.
See, I don't understand that at all.
I get it in the sense that it looks a lot like Wonderfalls. As did Dead Like Me.
Maybe we should've had a Fullerverse thread. I like his stuff.
I thought it was the Lee Pace/Wonderfalls connection to Minear rather than just that it looks Wonderfallian.
If Pushing Daisies goes there, why not Heroes?
Because Fuller only wrote for
Heroes.
He didn't create it and cast an actor from
Wonderfalls
as the lead. I'm not saying it's a perfect fit, but it seems a natural enough fit to me, with the
Wonderfalls
connection.

Yeah, having seen the pilot, it seems that most of what I liked about Wonderfalls had more to do with Fuller than Minear. I'd just as soon see it in Boxed Set.
My biggest issue is that unless you're seriously up on the meta, how would it even occur to you to look there for that show?
