I'm fascinated by Universal's approach to the marketing of Serenity. Targeting popular comic book forums such as MillarWorld is just one aspect of selling Serenity to sci-fi genre lovers.

There's even a Serenity contest at Alexander Siddig's official website. You might not recognise the name but you'll definitely recognise the face. He played Dr Julian Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

I find it fascinating as well, Simon. Someone in their marketing department has obviously been giving this a lot of thought. BTW, I'm very impressed by the way you stay on top of all these online Serenity mentions. How much time a day does it typically require? If that's too personal a question, just ignore it.

I most definitely recognize Sid :) aka Siddig El-Fadil. And anyone watching the new BSG will say, whoa, its eerie how much he looks like Dr, Gaius... (which it is. Eerie, I mean)

I lurk at other places and I'm very lucky to find the right stuff.

What we need is a Dr Gaius/Simon Tam/Julian Bashir medical show. Or an epic crossover slash fic ;).

I was kinda' curious of the connection between Alexander Siddig's site and Serenity. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any unless he's just a huge fan as well.

Simon, might as well toss Dr Carter from er into that mix. He could be the Frank Burns of the crew.

HA! I'd watch it :) I will ignore the second sentence of your post ;)

I love it! And we'll call it "Doooooctors in Space!" Somehow we'll have to have Dr. House kidnapped and taken to their ship for at least 3-4 episodes if not all season long.

Or an epic crossover slash fic ;).

Okay, we'll make it "Doctors in Love!"

Who's Dr. Gaius?

electricspacegirl | September 04, 20:53 CET

Don't forget the wonderful Dr. Becket from Stargate in your medicinal epos! (*swoon*) Then I'll watch too.

PS: DR. Bashir a fan? Wouldn't that be cool?
PPS: Maybe just his Webmaster is, but still he must have given permission, right?

Dr. Gaius Balter, a character on the new BSG, you can read about him and see a photo here

Paul_Rocks | September 04, 21:53 CET

Ah, thanks Paul_Rocks. I haven't checked out BSG yet. Looking forward to getting the first season sometime after I'm done buying Veronica Mars, Lost, and American Gothic.

electricspacegirl | September 04, 22:44 CET

electricspacegirl, do you have a DVD player that can play region two? If so, send me an e-mail.

American Gothic. Damn, I forgot all about that. Another set to pick up.

Madhatter | September 04, 23:04 CET

Madhatter, no and I can't find a crack for it online. :( The next DVD player I buy WILL be crackable!

electricspacegirl | September 04, 23:26 CET

Yay for American Gothic, been waiting for that to come out since '95 and I only found out last month that they were finally releasing it.

esg, BSG is definitely worth getting, it's my joint current favourite show with VM and I can't recommend it enough.

Paul_Rocks | September 05, 00:05 CET

No problem, electricspacegirl. Here's ready cracked machines. They're pretty reasonable.

And yeah, BSG is a worthwild show to watch.
