Homer Jones?? FARSCAPE & SG-1's Browder Developing New Sci Fi Channel Project!!

I got a better idea... by br1947	Mar 10th, 2008 11:09:32 AM
it's about an astronaut that get flung to another part of the galaxy whre he meets strange aliens on a living ship. They should do that instead.
Sounds good, but ... by Huelya	Mar 10th, 2008 11:10:31 AM
I want my Farscape baaaack.
Oh and bring that chick from SG-1 with him... by br1947	Mar 10th, 2008 11:14:29 AM
Val, Valia, Vala, whatever her name was. She'd do good as a love interest on the crazy living ship.
12 year old? by Blackguard	Mar 10th, 2008 11:29:27 AM
Browder is a GREAT actor if he can portray a 12 year old. ;) I miss SG1. I just watched "Ark of Truth" and don't understand why they ended the series. They need a crossover with Atlantis. Maybe another Farscape mini-series????? PLEASE????
I'd rather drink my own re-claimed water... by Super Moo	Mar 10th, 2008 11:31:54 AM
In fact, I just did.
novel concept...just promise me one thing by RealDoubleJ	Mar 10th, 2008 11:50:30 AM
That the Roman-Grecian Gods aren't the kid's link to solving crimes! I don't need anoher supernatural detective series on my telly.....but I do need more Browder...
i get it now... by Bouncy X	Mar 10th, 2008 11:52:22 AM
this is gonna be a live action version of that class of the titans cartoon.
"Oh and bring that chick from SG-1 with him..." by Shermdawg	Mar 10th, 2008 12:00:46 PM
"that chick from SG-1"? "THAT CHICK FROM SG-1"??? Claudia Black is now known as "THAT CHICK FROM SG-1"? That's like calling Leonard Nimoy "that guy from Mission:Impossible."

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?" by gridbug	Mar 10th, 2008 12:22:27 PM
Made'ja look!
hopefully it's a mini-series... by milla jovovich	Mar 10th, 2008 12:27:24 PM
that serves to boost Browder and Prowse's popularity to bring back Farscape.
Shermdawg wins the award... by raw_bean	Mar 10th, 2008 12:33:03 PM
...for replying to something without reading it properly. br1947 wins the award for Awesome. :^) D'Argo, tell him who his Daddy is!
Calm Shermdawg! by br1947	Mar 10th, 2008 12:35:56 PM
Trust me, I have a Claudia Black shrine ;-)
All filmed in the glorious setting... by Kid Z	Mar 10th, 2008 12:42:03 PM
... of someone's backyard in Vancouver a la Flash Gordon and Tin Man.
Bah. You had me riled up at "that chick from SG-1." by Shermdawg	Mar 10th, 2008 12:50:54 PM
Didn't bother reading the rest. AND DAMN SOMMERS FOR NOT CASTING BLACK AS THE BARONESS IN G.I.JOE!!!
Given how the rest of the movie seems to be going by br1947	Mar 10th, 2008 12:54:32 PM
that may be a blessing to her career. But yea, she'd have been perfect given a GOOD G.I.JOE movie.
But sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if she was known as... by Shermdawg	Mar 10th, 2008 12:59:18 PM
..."that chick from SG-1." Seeing how Renaissance Fairegate had a much larger audience.
Fred good stuff by indyjonez100	Mar 10th, 2008 01:02:43 PM
and Hera can play the Divorce e trying to always find ways to score with the dad and a young Hercules can play the wacky side kick to the dad's young boy.
I'd think she'd be known more for Pitch Black by br1947	Mar 10th, 2008 01:06:20 PM
at least by the general public.
milla by Shermdawg	Mar 10th, 2008 01:09:15 PM
If they do bring back Farscape, will you change your mind about never using your "fame" to get a role on the show? ;) Oh and good luck with that Target line.
This is a cool idea, the Greek Gods were horney and violent! by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Mar 10th, 2008 01:12:35 PM
Showtime is the venue for this series.
Ben Browder reminds me of cardboard by BrowncoatJedi	Mar 10th, 2008 01:12:55 PM
Why does he keep getting work?
Nude Goddesses cavorting around Ithaca! by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Mar 10th, 2008 01:13:30 PM

"Why does he keep getting work?" by Jeff Albertson	Mar 10th, 2008 01:24:20 PM
Because he's a great actor. I wouldn't expect you to understand, being a Whedonite.
As long as Alexandra Tydings is in it... by DerLanghaarige	Mar 10th, 2008 01:46:22 PM

Oh I get it... by dudebro22	Mar 10th, 2008 02:12:14 PM
Ithaca, NY. Just like Ithaca the Greek island! That is so effing clever! If all the writing is that effing clever this one will rly save the Sci-Fi Channel!
I concur... by Russman	Mar 10th, 2008 03:14:01 PM
Bring back Farscape. Sci-Fi suits - suck ass
Browder rocks! by warp11	Mar 10th, 2008 03:19:26 PM
John Crition was one of the most original sci fi hero's in years.
Jesus, that sounds terrible... by JKrow21	Mar 10th, 2008 03:35:55 PM
Bring back Rome.
Browder needs to be Hal Jordan in a GREEN LANTERN trilogy by SpyGuy	Mar 10th, 2008 03:55:23 PM
That trilogy, of course, being REBIRTH/THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR/THE BLACKEST NIGHT. Make it happen!
SPYGUY by Sick Fixx	Mar 10th, 2008 04:31:40 PM
You're onto something. Ben Browder. Yeah, he IS Hal Jordan, isn't he? But I honestly think his Parallax emotional crisis along with Coast City getting destroyed should be the last installment if ever there were to be a trilogy for GL. It would be perfect. Greek epics always end at the end of the protagonist's life, and so should this.
It will last four seasons by skywalkerfamily	Mar 10th, 2008 04:39:57 PM
and air like two times a year.
The stupidist of concepts vs the smartest by Yeti	Mar 10th, 2008 04:41:30 PM
can actually work quite well with the right writers and production team on board. Likewise, some of smartest concepts fail to find an audience.
Hals assed American Gods and Addams ripoff by EvilWizardGlick	Mar 10th, 2008 05:11:03 PM
Yep, not original. Matter of fact it kind of stinks of Xena and Hercules as well. Why not just do a real asshole hero show? We expect tv heros to be decent and likeable. So make one about an asshole. That would be original.
Ahahahaha! Sweet! by Cadillac Jones	Mar 10th, 2008 05:19:35 PM
I work and live in Ithaca NY - most liberal place on Earth. I hope they get it right and capture all the blackfooted hippies and college yuppies. One of the best things about Ithaca though is the women don't wear bras; one of the worst things about Ithaca is the women don't wear bras.
We need more Ben Browders by Manos	Mar 10th, 2008 05:49:14 PM
Very good actors who love and appreciate the scifi/fantasy genre.
People still identify themselves as "Browncoats?" by milla jovovich	Mar 10th, 2008 05:56:57 PM
I might collect sci-fi movies, comic books, action figures and play video games, but get a fucking life already! For fuck's sake! Do ANY Scapers ever visit any of the Whedonite talkbacks?
I'll watch, but... by Felix Buckman	Mar 10th, 2008 06:16:44 PM
I'd rather have, oh, I don't know, something with Banik slaves, Scarrans and Peacekeepers. D'Argo, tell him who his daddy is.
Milla and Jeff..... by closeencounter	Mar 10th, 2008 06:46:43 PM
I love Ben Browder. I also love Farscape. I also love Firefly and yes, I consider myself a Browncoat, and also a 'Scaper, and a Trekker. Yes, I also have a life, Mr. Shatner-wannabe. Deal with it. And for Browncoatjedi, hey man, you couldn't be more wrong. His work in Farscape was always great, especially with Claudia Black (yummmm). And yes, bring back Farscape! And while you're at it, Firefly too. Shiny! The world never has enough great sci-fi. Live Long and Prosper! The End.....
Don't let your Farscape love blind you. Browder is not "great". by Shermdawg	Mar 10th, 2008 07:37:30 PM
He's a decent actor, but nowhere near "great". And the one thing that's holding him back is...he doesn't act with his eyes. He's got two moves, "the stare" and that side glance/back to avoidng eye contact maneuver he used on Stargate WAY too often. I love the guy, but in terms of showing any emotion, any at all with the peepers, he's unfortunately in Tom Welling's league.
I thought Caprica was the next BSG series by NoHubris	Mar 10th, 2008 08:10:31 PM
This one sounds like Boy Meets Lords of Kobol. ;-) Still, they get major points for not doing something that everyone else is doing.
Never seen Stargate, so..... by closeencounter	Mar 10th, 2008 08:39:42 PM
I can't comment on it. In Farscape tho, he did great enough to have me (and my ex at the time) come back for more. And that includes his fellow actors too. And that eye thing...never noticed it.
Seeing Gods by BetaSword	Mar 10th, 2008 09:45:08 PM
Seeing usually invisible gods, reminds me on an Anime, i was watching, Kamichu. so far, the idea is quite nice, but if it turns out, that this boy becomes/became a god by himself, it's pretty much a copy with replaced Gods-Setting. (still kKamichu was quite cute, but i didn't like the Episode, where they nostalgically recalled memories of an old Battleship, like it was something "Good")
Sounds like Rick Riordan... by CriticalBill	Mar 10th, 2008 11:13:12 PM
...needs to call his attorney.
Farscape...weirdest sci-fi ever? by vadakinX	Mar 11th, 2008 05:08:20 AM
I'd never watched the show, but it was on one night at 4am...it was like the Cantina scene in Star Wars done on a 1960's Doctor Who budget. Browder was ok in SG1...though he's no Richard Dean Anderson, still a lot better than the guy in SG Atlantis though.
Sci-Fi will cut them off at the knees. by Diagnostic	Mar 11th, 2008 08:35:59 AM
slash.
Ye Gods! Poor Ben... by bswise	Mar 11th, 2008 10:46:27 AM
Man, this sounds bad, Bonnie Hammer Sci Fi / USA Channel bad. Will, the one special effect be that the Gods speak in big echo-plex voices like they did on the ol' Star Trek? This sounds like Xena, sans action, set in modern Vancouver. No doubt the "Gods" will be oh so cheeky and Canadian. Oh well, at least this will keep Browder on his toes so that when they do bring back Farscape he'll still fit into Chriton's leather pants.
"Farscape...weirdest sci-fi ever?" by Jeff Albertson	Mar 11th, 2008 12:07:32 PM
Yes, and that's a good thing.
Ahmen to bringing back Farscape. by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 11th, 2008 02:40:12 PM
That was a dark day in scifi fandom, when Farscape was cncelled. Weirdest, coolest, funniest, sexiest, most dramatci and overall best scif show on television. Everything scifi should be Only BSG ever came close in quality. As for anyone who thinks Ben is wooden because they saw him in Stargate. Well, that character wass a bit underwritten and wasn't given much, if you atch all the changes John Crichton goes through in Farscape you would not doubt the man. No bad or even marginal actor could have done the things he did in that series. Which should also answer the question, why is he still getting work. My question why isn't Claudia Black getting ore work. Why aren't directors and producers lined up around the block waitin to offer up their levt nut if she' work on their show. Her performance was the standout best among the many extraordinary elements of Farscape, was an even clearer standout best in Stargate. As for this. It's got a Farcape director as well as an actor from that series so I'm hopeful and think it will be worth checking out.
BTW What ever happened to that Farscape by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 11th, 2008 02:42:23 PM
webisode series that was supposed to come out. Any more word on that.
And yes I'm a Firefly and Buffy and Angel fan too by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 11th, 2008 02:44:35 PM
And I think Joss Whedon's the shit. But Farscape's even better.
She woulmake an awesome Baroness by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 11th, 2008 02:48:51 PM
Getting Ark of Truth as soon as I get off work. Anything with CBs awesome.
Ark's supposed to have good Ben scenes too by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 11th, 2008 04:18:33 PM
and Morena Baccarin. And the Ori. Damn they sghouldt've cancelled SG-1. But it was getting good so it was kind of inevitable.
sounds like a Simpsons project by theonecalledshoe	Mar 11th, 2008 07:43:44 PM
Homer in spacceeeeeeeeee... Do'h!!!!!!!!!!
by flave	Mar 12th, 2008 12:12:05 PM
Anyone else think that this sounds like a ripoff of Neil Gaiman's "American Gods"?
I love Ben by johnnykool	Mar 14th, 2008 07:17:59 AM
He can do no wrong in my eyes. Where's my Farscape mini-episodes???
