9 of 30 - Television Series Proposals

[aggienaut]

   In todays livejournal megablogging gimmick I was planning to make my own rendition of something I swear more than one of the other 30 in 30 bloggists did, but in my pre-blogging research I've only been able to find one person who did it (stephenl, which makes me feel more like I'm copying him rather than working on a 30 by 30 tradition. I already have all my plans laid out however so I'm going to continue. (if anyone can point me to the other contributer on this subject I'd still greatly appreciate it)

Five by Five five ideas for new television series by 5pm.
5. "Evil Star Trek" - Obviously not under that name but that captures the concept best of any short phrase I could think of. This one's first because I can't wait to talk about it, seriously, its been my dream for months.
   As you know Captain Jean-Luc Picard has always been sickeningly politically correct and good, causing Patrick Stewart to play predominantly evil characters ever since. Now wouldn't the series be much more exciting if the Federation officers behaved much more like, say, the Empire from Star Wars?
   "Captain, the fugitives we are looking for may be stowed-away on that passenger transport among the orphans its currently carrying"
   "Fire photon torpedoes!!"
   "Con! Sonar! Crazy Ivan!"

4. The Smurfs go to College - and become raging alcoholics!! Smurfette joins a sorority. To keep it up with the times we also introduce Emo Smurf, Rudie Smurf, Punk Rock Smurf, Addicted-to-Livejournal Smurf, Slut Smurf... Gargemel continues to attempt to break up their parties and slap them with noise ordinance violations, as well as to catch the under-age Jail-Bate Smurf binge drinking...

3. Mystery Livejournal Theatre 3000 - watch two robots heap ridicule and derision upon badly written livejournals. Or maybe Strong Bad should host it, he has of course pioneered the art of making hilarious commentary on people's writing.

2. Head of State Real World - George W. Bush, Saddam Hussain, Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Il, and say 15 other leading world leaders all have to live together in a house, MTV style. Petty drama is stirred up among them as only MTV can do, complete with that thing where they put someone in front of a camera to complain bitterly about one of their housemates.
   My predictions? G.W. Bush and Saddam will start playing pranks on Tony Blair, at least one fight will break out in which Vladimir Putin will totally kick someone's ass (blackbelt in judo remember), the Pope (yea I just decided he's there too, after all he is the head of state of the Holy See) will teach everyone how a "real man" takes his liquor.

1. Livejournal Idol!! - Contestants will compete for the title of best livejournalist of course, but how? Here's an idea: they all have to write one entry a day for 30 days, and they best be making it the fraskiest megabloggiest entry they ever did write! Hmm I think I'm going to have to bring out Strong Bad again to be one of the panelists, also I suppose nibot could be a panelist, given his mad skill at correcting people on things they never cared enough about to get straight in the first place.. Who will be the third panelist? Thats todays discussion topic!


Picture of the Day polls indicate you love this feature¹

Red Army of the Soviet Union, 1932
I found this picture yesterday, it is excellent

   This relates to this post because: its um, a scene from the pilot episode of my proposed star trek show.
