There was a pretty awesome crime procedural in an alternate future San Francisco with magic that made a pilot, never aired, and wasn't picked up. The pilot was on youtube for like a day sometime last year. Still hoping the Sci Fi channel or someone runs with it.

Was that the Ronald D Moore show I heard about?
― Gukbe, Thursday, 7 February 2013 15:08 (thirteen years ago)
It was going to be called Precinct 17 iirc?
― lets just remember to blame the patriarchy for (in orbit), Thursday, 7 February 2013 15:11 (thirteen years ago)
Oh, 17th Precinct, which is a terrible name. Yeah, that's the Moore. I thought it was completely great! Stockard Channing and Tricia Helfer, y'all!

To be fair, I have no idea how anyone could execute the House of the Undying scene well. There was a lot going on there.

the fifth season of the wire had magic iirc

It was seriously cool. Where we would use electricity, they used a magic life-force sourced from growing plants. It sounds gimmicky but it was inserted smoothly and not explained except by demonstration--a quick shot of the Golden Gate bridge turned into a giant trellis and covered with verdant growth, wall planters in people's homes in the backgrounds of shots, etc.

That sounds p awes. Like Ballard but happy!

From what I know about that pilot, it's probly a good thing it didn't air.
I think Ron Moore made it in Vancouver with BSG castmembers

Sorry for insulting anyone. I realize that Game of Thrones is pretty lightweight G-rated material.
Anyway, I'm just gonna stare at the bud gif for a while and chill out.

something we can all agree on right

It may be the answer as to how I was able to read 4000 pages of highly detailed fantasy without getting bored...
― Nate Carson, Friday, 8 February 2013 07:20 (thirteen years ago)
Something else Nate and I can agree on is the primacy of Gene Wolfe. I kind of DON'T hope they try to adapt The New Sun though. It feels impossible.
― try a little crowleymass (Jon Lewis), Friday, 8 February 2013 15:34 (thirteen years ago)
True. But I would watch it. And better HBO than anyone else... I've always been scared it would get the Dr Who treatment someday.
― Nate Carson, Friday, 8 February 2013 21:45 (thirteen years ago)
I'd prefer to see HBO tackle an SF property next, maybe the Culture novels.

this show feels like such a humorless grind, feel like it could go on forever and nothing would ever get really resolved

Um is anyone playing the facebook game of thrones game? I even set up a fake facebook account so I could indulge in the nerdiness. This is probably one of the worst things I've done in my life.

i had no idea the bulgarian national women's choir did the theme for xena, that's a shocker for me

RFI LONG TERM ARC: my human woman-friend is upset about gender roles in this mideval/fantasy series. Do the ladies get to do stuff besides get drilled; married off or should I resign myself to watching this... myself? No need to sugar coat it.
Follow up: Is there an episode we should jump to in order to calm her fears of a 16-ep rapefest?
― Guy was knee-deep in water (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Monday, 18 March 2013 11:13 (thirteen years ago)
NB - we barely made it thru the first episode
there's some strong female characters but probably not enough to balance out that stuff if you're already balking at ep #1

I am surprised you were shocked, they have such a distinctive sound.

ffs@people jumping on the bulgarian choir bandwagon in 2013? since slovene balakov left it's all been commercial shit anyway.
