"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I know Joss has garnered a measurable amount of uncool and dislike, however, not only do I still love Firely, but I also really loved a strong season and a half of Dollhouse. So I'm a fan of his science fiction.

Just as I know John Irving likes Bears and Vienna, I know Joss loves his barefoot waifs and a sex-bot or two and will look askance at his pet tropes.

I am familiar with his oeuvre. (As are we all!)

But I do value his way around a quip, and his ability to imagine a 'verse and plumb it for metaphorical possibilities. And his characters are strong and vivid.

So I will check it out.

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

I plan to check it out, it sounds right up my alley. I hope Joss can keep his pet tropes in the kennel, though. Victorian women did not go about barefoot, sorry Joss.

Oh, who am I kidding. I'm going to watch it and drink every time a Joss trope happens.

Oh, that would make for a great Watch And Post!

It would! Too bad it's on HBO which a lot of us don't have. Maybe we can do it twice.

Twice as many drinks!

What is even happening?

That sounds right up my alley, EXCEPT that I have never liked any of Joss' sci-fi projects.

I'm hoping Variety's use of "sci-fi" was just because a lot of entertainment writers tend to lump all fantasy into sci-fi, even when it's not.

The series is described as a sci-fi epic about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.

"Unusual abilities" in Victorian women sounds more fantasy than sci-fi (at least I'm telling myself that).

Oh, who am I kidding. I'm going to watch it and drink every time a Joss trope happens.

Oh, your liver!

At least the dresses are likely to be awesome?

The status is NOT quo.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm looking at Monica Owusu-Breen's writing credits and I'm amused that she has a Fringe episode titled "Enemy of My Enemy" and a S.H.I.E.L.D. ep titled "Frenemy of my Enemy".

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.

Huh.

I would hope they're going to do all new stories while keeping the name and the general world. I'd have zero interest in a retread of the original storylines.
