See, I thought the concept of Buffy sounded wierd and objectifying--I thought it was going to be like those Halloween films "See nubile girl destroy monster, but not until after she screams a lot and looks sexy doing it" but, of course, it wasn't that at ALL. Me not so good at extrapolating from concepts.
that's my point. I mean, Joss totally turned us on the ass in the first scene with Darla and the boy, we're thinking that she's going to get killed, and then BAM! she vamps out and kills the boy.
The execution will be all (and I include casting as part of the execution), or near to it. I have concerns about they ick-factor, but they come more from Tim's "primoridal misogyny" episode of Angel than anything in Seeing Red.
Then again, I've never had a problem with Joss' sci-fi. I AM curious how sci-fi it will be. It could be a very hi-tech show, or it could be a modern day Prisoner-style show. I suspect it will be closer to that than to Firefly.
That's what I said!
bahahahahhah... I dunno why, I see massive and LJ and my mind went straight to DISagreement rather than what you wrote. Sorry for the misreading.
I like Joss and sci-fi. He clearly knows nothing about science, and I'm all about the fiction.

HA. I can't imagine why that would be...
I think the saving grace for me may be if the sci-fi is limted to near future Mission Impossible espionage type stuff rather than interplanetary spaceships/lifelike robots/mid-orgasm time-stopping machines. If it only involves gadgetry and concepts that I would buy in the hands of Sydney Bristow or Ilya Kuryakin, I can suspend my disbelief.
See, I don't prefer that near-tech, myself. I find a miss is easier to spot when you're aiming so close to reality.

I'm surprised I read it the right way.
Kat reminds me that I never saw the last few eps of
Alias.
Have to Netflix.
I'll tune in for
Dollhouse,
and then I'll see. I'm not having any pre-show fannish glee, though. Perhaps I'm just lazy these days.
Fox.com have a bit on the supposed change: [link]
I wasn't a Buffy/Angel watcher when Firefly premiered so this is my first opportunity to come to a new Whedon show as a fan. I don't see this premise as more exploitave than 90% of anything to be found on the US airwaves these days but the fact that Joss is creating it gives me hope that it will transcend my imaginings.
