3. Let's say you're given control of that show. (If it's been off the air for a long time, say it goes back on the air and any dead actors needed are resurrected.) What do you do to get it back to where it ought to be?

1. Does The Tudors count? It's actually Historical Fiction disguised as Biopic, but they play pretty fast and loose with the history part. Another thought is The 10th Kingdom, but that was a mini series. As was Merlin. And I think there was a Beastmaster TV series, and there was Xena and there was Hercules, and of course Highlander, but that was only part historical, though it was definitely all fantasy in my books.
2. You mean accidentally, of course. As in, 'they didn't deliberately set out to make their series go *sproing*--it just turned out like that'. Umm... I can't think of any that come to mind. I usually like it when series get a little weird. That's when I start watching, really. I don't think of it as 'going wrong'; I think of it as 'they're getting it right, at last'.
3. Hire David Kemper, Rockne O'Bannon, Brian Henson, Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Gigi Edgley, as much of the rest of the old crew as possible, rebuild the Moya set, and then get the heck out of the way while Farscape returns from the ashes and makes this fanboy extremely happy. Barring that, I'd write it myself. I practically was when i started the first draft of my Ashes novel.

3. Which social strata would engage in the recording of such music, and would any sweeping geo-political changes be required to precipitate its rise?

1. Squidcore. It would be heavy on digital effects, but the overall tone would be that of hearing a rock concert underwater.
2. Toronto. Anyone who plays at the Molson Amphitheatre already has some idea of what this sounds like anyway.
3. Mostly kids would change the colour of their emo clothing from black to purple, but really, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

1. Like Sterling Carcieri's office, with the high tech stuff carefully disguised as 1940s furnishings.
2. In a can, huh? I've been trying to sell abstract concept my whole life, but I never thought of putting them in a can. Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong all this time. Wrong packaging. I think I will have to give this some thought, but if you want a quick answer, how's about Cream of Consciousness Soup ?

I've been highly frustrated for days, but I rarely ever get truly angry. Usually it means my meds aren't working, or I've run low. I'm very mild mannered by nature.
2. Probably showers, though I would miss all those wild bath parties with the coeds.
3. I was making time with my senorita
She was making time with Jose
I was determined to win her
She seemed to think I was
Gaining too much weight
So I decided I needed some courage
And I bought a bottle of gold
I shared it with my senorita
And I think that she's finally sold.
She calls me
Her incredible tequila powered locomotive machine of love
And she swears that she loves me with the voice of a dove
I know I can never leave the only lover I'm thinking of
But tequila makes me sleepy so I'm going to bed up above.
aye aye aye...
