Generally the sci-fi channel and I just do not get along. All I see are stupid aliens and crap. Snooze city for me, though I know plenty of people that go starry eyes for it.

This, however, looks kinda cool. Reminds of Tenth Kingdom, except OZ instead of fairytales:

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

I saw ads for that when I was at my mom's and thought it looked interesting as well. However, it's done by the Sci-Fi channel.The only analogy I can think of that accurately describes what they do with good ideas is "burning cereal."

It says something about my taste in shows that when I have a chance, I'll still watch some of the stuff that they put on. While laughing.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. I intend to watch fully expecting cheap amusement, but still. More often than not I watch shows solely for their potential, not for their actuality. My best stories come from doing what I feel other people should have done in the first place. Though I have no desire to touch Oz, and I'd probably get lynched for finding a way to slash it anyway.

*nods* I can see that. I get motivated from authors that have a great ideas and totally screw them up. I want to fix them. My only problem is that by the time I change the story enough so nobody can realize that I am ripping off another author to fix what they broke, it totally doesn't come close enough to the original story to allow me to fix it. Sigh.

Cowardly lion/Scarecrow OTP. XD

That's Tin Man, yeah? Yahoo said it is to be watched. I don't have cable, so it won't happen soon for me. If you watch, please let me know what you think. 3 parts, I think, btw.

It is interesting that you aren't able to bring aliens 'and crap' into your suspension of disbelief circle. I wonder where that stems from?

^_^

Cowardly lion/Scarecrow/Tin Man OT3? ^_^

[maderr.livejournal.com]

It's not really suspension of disbelief. I dunno, sci-fi never interested me much. I know it falls under fantasy, but I honestly never cared for spaceships and aliens and the like. I keep trying, and certainly I write enough of it towards the goal of learning to like it, but it'll never be a favorite.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

w00t! Totally. Dorothy can have the wizard, who turns out to be a geeky but cute hackz0r bishie.

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

See now, I'll have to come visit again and bring all the best movies and such and have a marathon with good foods until we find your sci-fi love. It is in there, if we just dig a little... Or you could come here!^^

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

Is Dorothy still a girl (which would be fine, I trust you to write awesome women), or is that one of your boys with girls' names?

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I'd keep Dorothy a chick. Seems too much like an easy out to change the gender of the MC. The challenge is in not doing that. Dorothy as some cyberpunk-ish thing would be cool. Everyone does it as fantasy, but as much as I'm typically not for sci-fi, it would do well for itself in a hackz0r type setting. FF VII or Matrix like.

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Matrix like! That would rock. I dunno much about FF - *hangs head* - but that sounds like an awesome set up! ...er, that you will, of course, not be writing. Or something like that... *grins*

Cyberpunk-ish! For some reason I see some girl with her hair dyed in blue gingham, yelling at Auntie Em: 'how many times do I have to tell you, my name is Roth! Stop calling me that 'D' word!' Hee! Or not. ^_^

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's awesome! Punk!Dorothy, that'd be bomb ^__^ I wonder how I'd change her companions, and compensate for the heart, brain, and courage. I think brain would have to be a computer, or something like that, which would make Scarecrow a 1337 hacker or something along those lines. Tin Man could be...an android? Perhaps a 'heart' is slang for citizenship or something, meaning he wants to be 'real' after a fashion. Lion stumps me for the moment.

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

Lion=luddite? Not sure how that would work... That would be so cute if a luddite fell in love with an android and a computer geek, or something, though. Aww!!

Edit: And they wouldn't need the Wiz to give them what they search for, they find that together they had all the need, all along! Ah, sweet, fluffy cheeze.

[silverthunder]

That looks pretty cool! Makes me want to watch it, too.

I wonder why the Tin Man is the title character, though...

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I was wondering that myself, esp. since it's already obvious that Dorothy is originally from that world and everything. Maybe she's his long lost daughter, ahahaha.

*____*

Shiny!!

The O.Z. *snickers* Must go watch this, though. It's bound to be better than the Muppets version >.>

[indigoraven.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I am wanting to be seeing. Thank you for the head's up.

[sixpence1323.livejournal.com]

Ah, Tenth Kingdom. I never got to finish it because I had borrowed it from a friend.

Usually I'm not a big fan of sci-fi channel simply because half of their stuff if so... boring... I have only show that I like on that channel and it only plays during the summer. But when I saw this the other day I was all over it. Unfortunately the commercial was only two seconds long before it went to another alien thing.

Finally I get to see a full-length view!

[hyperjirou.livejournal.com]

YOU. ARE. BRILLIANT.

This idea is so cool, I'm reduced to expressing my glee with caps lock. I want to see this.

[hyperjirou.livejournal.com]

This looks interesting. I'm gonna have to try and watch it. I really hope it actually turns out pretty well.

Also, is it just me, or does the Tin Man seem a bit cowboyish?

[darkestnight12.livejournal.com]

Wow. That was...interesting. *blink blink* Definitely something I've never seen before. :)
