We Should Start Our Own Campaign

Yeah I understood that much, but I was more interested in knowing what kind of medicine it was and what's so bad about it.

The gods of wikipedia say it's an immunosuppresaant used to treat inflamatory diseases and certain types of cancer.

Can't believe you left J. Michael Straczynski out.

I honestly have to say that I have watched several episodes of B5 and I wasn't very impressed. It just wasn't for me and that's why I didn't think of him.

First season was slow, but if you saw through the general cheesiness, you could see all the pieces being laid out. How much have you watched? I think others may disagree with you.

I think I watched almost the entire first season before I gave up on it. The storylines didn't interest me at all, the characters fell flat, and some of the writing and action was downright awful. In fact, ''Don't touch me unless you mean it'' is one of the worst lines I've ever heard in a sci fi show.

Oh man. I think you gave up on it at exactly the wrong time. Season 2 was better paced and set up the overall story. During season 3 and 4 I was perched on the edge of my seat for every episode and could wait to see what happened next. It's still my favorite Sci-fi show of all time.

She's a good pick and can be forgiven the Caprica nonsense.

Tim Minear

Good track record.

Steven Moffat

Pros:
Is the current showrunner of Doctor Who

Cons:

Good pick but obviously focusing on Dr. Who currently. Would be interesting to see the take he would bring to Stargate.

Russel T. Davies

Pros:
Created and served as the executive producer for Queer as Folk (UK)
Successfully revived and served as the executive producer for Doctor Who
Is currently serving as the executive producer of Torchwood: Miracle Day

Cons:
Has a tendency to write big and epic stories that are resolved with deus ex machines

He gets my respect for reviving the Dr. Who story but would probably be too weird and/or cartoonish for Stargate. He's also ungodly politically correct and tends to let that dominate the story telling instead of just having a good romp. Get's too preachy.


Robert Hewitt Wolfe

Pros:

Not loving the track record other than Dresden Files but I'd give him a chance.

Steven S. DeKnight

Pros:
Created Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
Served as writer/producer for Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Dollhouse

Cons:
Is busy with Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Good resume. He'd get my vote.

Interesting list. Definitely some good choices there.

 

[Joelist]

How about:

Donald Bellisario (the big problem is he's 75 years old)

Amanda Tapping (how can she be wooed away from Sanctuary)

Bernicio Del Toro

Or if you want a change of pace...

Olivier Megaton

George Romero
