The X-Files 2 movie actually gets made.

BBC Buffy spin-off Ripper actually gets made. Probably.


No, really.

The Kevin Smith/BSG mashup threw me initially. But then I realized that I don't think of Smith primarily as a director. It's his writing that's distinctive, not his directing (I can't even imagine what a Smith-written episode of BSG would be like). I don't see what he'd bring to BSG besides his geek cred (and vice versa, I suppose).

And boy, you just can't keep Tim Minear down, can you? At least this show won't air on Fox.

Still sounds pretty doubtful, doesn't it? I mean, they've been talking about it for years now.

Just shoot me.

And now, apparently, the Smith-directed BSG episode is off due to scheduling conflicts. He is, however, writing and directing an episode of Heroes, which is probably more his sort of thing.
