Bionic Anatomy

[proggrrl]

Wow, what a day for a TV fangirl.

First, Sci-Fi announces BSG "mini-sodes" and a return of FARSCAPE.

And now: Isaiah Washington will guest star on BIONIC WOMAN?

What's next? A LA FEMME NIKITA movie directed by Joss Whedon with guest appearances by Ian McShane and Jamie Bamber?

*head explodes a little*

OMG! What exciting news! SciFi seems to be throwing up some bones for hellatus. Yay!

What's next? A LA FEMME NIKITA movie directed by Joss Whedon with guest appearances by Ian McShane and Jamie Bamber? Guffaw! I wish!!!!!

On a side note -- I hope you don't mind this -- I've been watching HBO's John from Cincinnati per your rec. and I am really digging it. It's my favorite show right now so thanks for the 411. I haven't researched it on IMDB yet but it's obviously connected -- maybe created? -- by the same powers that be that did Deadwood. I've spotted five Deadwood alum so far and the dialogue is almost identical. Very complex and interesting.

Yeah this is great news about BSG and Farscape huh? I finally found a way to actually see Farscape S1 without buying it - a fangirl friend is loaning me her S1 DVDs - yay!

RE JfC...yes, David Milch created this show, and he also created DEADWOOD. He is the Ron Moore of these shows - head writer and showrunner and one of the producers. It's his baby. If you want a closer look at why I love this guy, just get your hands on the S1 DEADWOOD DVDs and find the featurette interviews with Milch - they are a kick! He's brilliant.

Much like David Chase, the guy who created The Sopranos, Milch is a guy who slaved away in the land of TV writing for like 20 years and HBO then let him go wild and do his own thing - without the crushing weight of network censorship, to boot.

Meanwhile I'm so glad you like JfC. It's a slow building show, but the writing is just so fun. And yeah, he's got a ton of his favorite character actors in there from DEADWOOD. *glee*

Wow.

I would watch Farscape if it was just them eating cereal around a table. The show was incredible. More Claudia Black!



(But why would anyone want to work with Isaiah Washington...? Oh well.)

Well the skiffy execs are also saying that NO casting has been confirmed yet for FARSCAPE. So give them a few to work that out. But really, what is Farscape without Claudia Black?

RE Washington - everything that's happened sucks of course, and I wish he hadn't done it, then done it again, then handled the whole thing a tad poorly. But I'm a fan of the guy, he's a fine actor, and I'm sticking to that.
