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.

Maybe we can do it twice.

Twice as many drinks!

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?

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".

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.

Neither would I, but I don't think that's what they're saying at all. They said "build on the mythology of the original." To me that just means they aren't starting from scratch.
