scifi post

[timetobegin]

It seems that there is a higher rate of sci-fi shows airing over the Summer (winter for southern hemisphere folk), and more often than not they are only 13 episodes long.

At the moment we have Defiance, Oprhan Black, Warehouse 13, Continuum.... with more starting up soon. (Haven!) Scifi also tends to go hand in hand with the shorter fantasy seasons too (Game of thrones! Teen Wolf!)

(please not their MIGHT be spoilers for the latest episodes in the comment)

You have no idea how badly I want Incursion to happen!

Yes! SDK has BLOWN me away with his writing with Spartacus. He showed the entire world that you can have a multi-ethnic cast and queer people and still have an amazing show. He showed us men who are as manly as men can get, who speak in poetry and would do anything and everything for love. *sniffles* And for him to be able to bring that skill to a scifi setting with a lead female character? I NEED IT.

I'd follow him to whatever new project he has anyway but his new show sounds really good on top of that. I just don't understand why STARZ hasn't picked it up yet. Spartacus was a success for them and I think it's safe to assume that a lot of the Sparty fans would be interested in SDK's new show then!

I expect their primary concern is financial. Spartacus was able to save lots of money by basically being a green screen show. I think they're going for a more realistic feel to Incursion which means shooting outdoors and building sets. Plus explosions.
