Re: Pulparize It!
Hi all!
Re Firefly: Wouldn't it work better if the crew were say White Russians? Somebody who had lost a war recently, and were trying to avoid the winning side. Or if you prefer, anti imperialists of some sort who were politically in favor of shutting down the European empires of the times?
Re Avengers: Purdey was always my fave of the Fem sidekicks. Why is Venus Smith so determinably forgotten? McNee doesn't even mention her. (And I've only seen 2nd season Avengers once, I just found it interesting that there was another sidekick, never mentioned).
A couple of my suggestions:
For the anime folks, you forgot one...Young Serena, determined to go about her business of getting out of school as little as possible, is contacted by talking cat Luna, who informs her that she is the reincarnation of the Moon Princess, and she must save the world from terrible invaders. If she and her friends don't stop them, in the near future Imperial Japan will make a disasterious alliance with European powers...
Um..."Here be spoilers" for the just finished season of Surface. A few lines of space just in case...
Surface: Strange animals have appeared in the oceans. The protagonists, "chosen" at random, must defeat a deathless mad scientist who has created monsters capable of causing earthquakes, tusnami and munching the survivors. A huge "Noah's Ark" has been built holding "frozen" samples of all life on earth. (In the series, DNA samples for cloning, I suppose, Pulp era weird tech).
Some GREAT ideas in this thread,
Midas
