This article seems to show that a lot of research is starting to think it is NOT neonictoninoids. Perhaps you should read it.

I wanted to say "watch out! he is Gua!"

Not only has Huxley Station been mentioned at least twice, but Leekie's first name is Aldous. And I believe it was Cosima who had a line in season one referring to "this brave new world" at some point.

How are these female costumes any worse than the sexually objectifying outfit of the Hulk, or all the nearly skin tight outfights so many male superheroes wear that show just about every line of their musculature?

Surprise surprise! Another comment from someone in the grays (and thus ignored) caught something nobody else did WEEKS ago. I was right a couple weeks ago when commenting about Marty's strange vision kicked off by seeing that bug crawling on the table as he and JAcob played with the army men; those bugs are…

right! those who see only dystopian futures in SF are reading the WRONG science fiction.

It might not quite be a utopian setting, but the Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton is FAR from being dystopian. It is actually probably my current favorite "future history" in all of SF literature.

As to the SUPERNATURAL bit on the rumors of Speight returning being false, well, that was a big effing Abramsesque LIE!!!!!

As much as I personally despise anime style artwork, I have to agree, this could only be done animated, live action would cost too much and take too long to film.

Posted this myself a couple hours ago, glad to know others agree! I could see it done in 6 seasons of 12 or 13 episodes each, with each episode clocking in around 55 minutes. The series even has built in season breaks.

Shit, it would be difficult to adapt as live action on television as well. The show would have to be over 200 episodes of regular television episode length (45 minutes or so a piece), which means too many years of filming, and the characters only age about two and a half years. I don't see live action as feasible.…

MEMORY, SORROW AND THORN would be an epic 5 season show. Would need a friggin HUGE budget though.

SciFi based on characters and politics seems to not work on television. CAPRICA and STARGATE UNIVERSE are two other perfect examples of how audiences and networks just won't stick with such fare. This is why, as much as I love them, the MARS trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson wouldn't last, though I would love to see…

When I read this a little over a quarter century ago I thought that Alan Alda would have been perfect for Covenant. Way too old now.

A five or six season MARS trilogy would be awesome. I believe at one point SciFi Channel (as they were at the time) had this in the pipeline, Gale Ann Hurd was supposed to produce, but she is doing THE WALKING DEAD now :-(

It really makes me sad that Ronald Moore was not able to get this off the ground years ago. Too many creative differences with the network he was developing it for. Only good thing about it not happening then was that he went on to help make BSG.

Eric Stoltz as the older version of Kvoth in the interludes...

John Goodman as Mr. Wednesday. Temuera Morrison as Shadow. Steve Buscemi as Low-Key.

I agree about THE DIAMOND AGE, that would be awesome. But SNOW CRASH would be a huge hit I think, if done properly. "Punk as fuck" is absolutely right!

And he wrote that series BY HAND. No computer word processing, no typewriter, but with a pen in hand. SMH.
