EW.COM - Joss Whedon is about to make a spectacular return to TV.

The Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator, and The Avengers director, has an “epic” new sci-fi series that was just greenlit by HBO.

Titled The Nevers, the series is described as “an epic science fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world...

One of the most appropriate topics for Other Science Fiction Series forum!

This is the news announcement regarding the show, so I think it fits here. Now when the show actually starts and we discuss it, that one would belong in OSFS.

Are you REALLY trying to tell Haken where he should post on his OWN DAMN WEBSITE???

You could drive a SAINT to murder!

It’ll be interesting to see what Joss is able to do with HBO’s sensibilities and not be held down FOX and the like.

Joss has been pretty hit or miss since Buffy/Angel/Firefly IMO. Dollhouse never really found its footing. Avengers was great. Avengers 2 was a mess. I'm not sure what to expect. I'll definitely give it a shot though. He's got a style of writing that when it works it works really well.

Full agreement.
Not sure if you were being argumentative, or missed the point.

This is News Headline Discussion forum. What better place to post breaking news of a new series from Joss Whedon? Hint: this site is Fireflyfans.net which was started more than 6 months before Firefly was first broadcast. So HAKEN was probably a follower of Joss long before fans of Firefly heard of him.

Now, following that, it is supposed to be a Sci-Fi show. The OSFS forum did not always exist here, it was a later add-on.
A Science Fiction Series.
Which is not Firefly, hence "Other"
Which will be created by Joss Whedon.
Who created Firefly.
Which was the Genesis of this site.
Which has a forum for Other Science Fiction Series.

Round hole, meet round block.

Of all the possible topics to be potentially discussed in OSFS forum, what could really be more fitting?

I liked Dollhouse, second to Firefly. I own both seasons.
Joss doesn't seem to work with the same cast of women more than once. Is Summer the exception?
So who will be cast? With HBO, they would each need a Nudity Clause in the contract, right?

I don't see details regarding the ages of these Victorian women, but if they are "just discovering" their abilities, then these could be more from the glitter girls camp.

And you didn't mention Agents of SHIELD, which seemed to have legs.

Whoops! I am surely wrong. I've been very tired lately.

This will certainly bypass OSFS forum and go straight to it's own forum in the Other Joss Whedon Series sub-group of forums.

But it is not there, yet.
Anybody wanna guess when HAKEN puts it there?
