Glee

Okay, so hear me out. I know you’re thinking, how the heck does a show about choir fit in with Suvudu? Well, I could try and make some totally far-fetched connection like, oh, the kids on Glee are nerds and Suvudu is a nerd-friendly site and maybe some of the kids even like to read sci-fi/fantasy, who knows, right?

Or, I could just say that this show is just plain good. And you should trust me and give it a shot. That’s not enough? How about this - in the 1st episode they aired all the way back in May, the kids band together at the end (after many a trial) and sing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” in a scene that I have watched approximately 6 times since. That’s right. But who knows. Maybe you’re someone who hates the inspirational, joyous sound of voices blending together in perfect harmony. Maybe you’re a little dead inside. Then this show’s probably not for you.

More tv shows after the jump…

ABC has announced a pilot commitment to DC’s “Fables” comic book series. It’s being written by “Six Degrees” creators/executive producers Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner. So far they’re keeping pretty mum about which characters will make an appearance, except for Bigby Wolf and Snow White.

Even as a reader who was recently introduced to the Fables series (of course, I was also an immediate fan - fairy tale characters living in the modern world? Sign me up!), I’m extremely nervous about this. What fan wouldn’t be? For one, the television series will have to tango with the FCC, which means none of the fun, risque stuff from the comic books. For another, can any actors really match up with six-years’-worth of fans’ imagination?

I am glad, however, that it’s being done on television, which allows more room for the story to breathe. Also glad that this will possibly introduce millions to the wonderful series. So it isn’t all bad.

Who would you cast? For reasons most likely related to Wolverine, I’m seeing Hugh Jackman as Bigby Wolf. As for everyone else, I’m hoping for some unknowns.
