Idiots, Firefly was just starting to develop the characters. If they had let it grow it could have been really big I think. It had so many ways to go with no real boundaries to hinder it’s growth. Who says there has to be ray guns in space anyway.

It sounds like garbage. I enjoyed the first season and a half of Battlestar Galactica until it degenerated into punishing Starbuck and bashing technology every week. In my opinion Ron Moore is a misogynistic Luddite who has no business working on Science Fiction.

Yeah, I was taken hostage by Lemmings and forced to watch Faulty Towers repeatedly for 47 years until the Lemmings finally croaked. Nasty Buggers!

Lol, the comments here are funny. The show hasn’t even aired yet and already people are going on as if they’re being forced to watch it at gunpoint. I honestly don’t get it… if you don’t like a show, DON’T WATCH IT. But for heaven’s sake stop bitching and moaning and be generous enough to let those who actually do like it enjoy it in peace.

#128, I agree with what you’re saying. I also think part of the problem is that networks try to develop sci-fi shows for people who generally don’t watch sci-fi (in the hopes of getting higher ratings, I guess), instead of developing a sci-fi show for people who actually watch sci-fi.

Garovorkin;

You are right. They want the number fast. It kills innovation and creativity. But we’re at a unique time now. It looks like we have some good flicks this summer, but the small screen is a disaster.

Superboy is, like, 47 years old.

Sarcasm aside, Considering Fox’s Past record with scif which is not all that good Im surprised that they are making forays into the genre again. Lets see,Firefly, the net work geniuses broad casted the series slightly out of order with the pilot being shown later in the series and in any event they did not give the series the time it needed actually build its audience, had they stuck with it for another season the show would have caught fire. Space Above and Beyond, the Network brain trust put the show on Foot ball night where it kept getting preempted, which did not help it at all. Alien Nation a good show which they gave up on to soon. IF there had been no writer strike I suspect that The Chronicals of Sarah Connors would have similarly suffered a very early demise, now it will at least be getting a second season. Considering how the network treated Firefly, I am really surprised that Joss Whedon doing a new series of any kind for Fox. In the case of Ron series, personel opinions aside, I doubt that Fox would give this series, enough time to build any kind of an audience, They like the rest of the main networks want big number fast, It’s not likely that this show even under the bset possible scenario, will deliver the kind of numbers that they want.

Geez, get a load of “Captain Post Nazi” up there….the right word is jocularity.
Cynical just runs in some people’s Blood, it’s not meant to be mean Sweetheart, we just know how to make ourselves laugh, and others too who don’t want to admit it. Existentialism is Much better. next time I’ll bring My “A” material.

Hmm. Interesting.

At initial response, this sounds like it would be more interesting without the virtual reality element, however, I do not beleive we have enough information for me to really form much of an opinion. As many posters have pointed out, “There are Possibilities”

Ron Moore is the kind of writer that could bring gold out of a mediocre concept. I would be curious to see what comes of this.

#122 No none, just a silly coincidence. I can’t really see a connection. Yeah.

so tricia hilfer signs a contract with Fox TV, then Ron Moore announces he is doing a show for them involving “imaginary” fantasies. Anyone else seeing the connections here?
