Tim Minear is penning the new Alien Nation for SciFi. I mean, "SyFy".
Tim is working on the development of the series for Fox 21.
Tim on cable. Be afraid.

Thanks, Allyson. Guess I'll have to get the DVDs and watch the previous seasons and movies to get familiar with the previous incarnation. :)

For those unfamiliar with Alien Nation, it's the male aliens who get pregnant.

'Procedural sci-fi' doesn't exactly sound awesome but Tim's a good enough writer that I'm in for the ride

(Although it does seem a little bit like Syfy is trying to cash in on the buzz around District 9.)

As for Alienation...the Movie was ok, but the series kinda sucked. Moreover I kinda see this 'reboot' as an attempt by Fox to cash in on the movie coming out next month called District 9.

edited: Looked him up. He created V and Alien Nation. From his date of birth, I would guess he is retired at this point since he is almost 70.

That's fair. But I suspect their decision to move forward might have been helped by the D9 buzz. (But, then, I'm a cynic.) Not that it matters, even if so. It hardly precludes making a good show, heh.

By the way, Tim didn't copy this from District 13 (er, 9, whatever) - we all know everything he does is copied from Forever Knight. Ah, the Usenet memories.

Unless he wrote some Angel episode that I've forgotten I hate.
sumogrip | June 30, 23:16 CET
But sounds interesting, I'll definitely look into it.

You remember me. I'm the one who didn't like the new Star Trek movie.
I like series based on films, but other than that, I'm a negative kinda girl. Took me ages to watch BSG, and that's just because the original series was, um, not good.
redeem147 | July 01, 01:40 CET
I don't know anything about the original, but the way Tim's show is described in the article sounds awesome. Certainly something I'd be up for, even more certainly with Tim at the helm. The downside of course is less Tim on Dollhouse. I hope this doesn't mean he's leaving all togheter.
To bad Nathan already has Castle, if he had to do a cop procedural, a sci-fi/Tim Minear one would have been the one for me.

Lame.
And yes, I'm cranky this morning ;) All good tho, all that matters is Tim is on a new show---looking forward to it! :)

Thank god. SciFi is finally gonna get away from broadcasting all that hard sci-fi like Ghost Hunters and ECW.

Still hoping for The Inside on dvd (I only saw the episodes that aired in the US). Oh, an while I'm at the wishing well, how about getting The Moon is a Harsh Mistress made, as well?
AnotherFireflyfan | July 01, 08:16 CET
Doesn't sound like Tim feels too tied down to the original incarnation, so its quality shouldn't be much of an issue. The concept definitely has legs.

"On cable, you can play with ambiguity." Sounds good to me.

Perfectly surmised, b!x. I agree palehorse, if anyone can revive it, it's Tim. YAY TIM! I really enjoyed the film, but maybe that's because I don't remember catching the series. Can't wait to see your improvements, Tim. :)
I wouldn't put "Ghost Hunters" into the same category as ECW, Principal Snyder.
