SyFy is developing a new take on Alien Nation!

Tim Minear and SyFy Explore a New Alien Nation! Oh my, how I loved the TV series - the original movie not so much, to be honest - with Gary Graham and Eric Pierpoint! I love this quote by Tim Minear!

"It's genre mixed with procedural mixed with funny mixed with big, giant scary," Minear told Variety. "I love serialized stuff, but this is also a cop franchise. That Starsky & Hutch/Lethal Weapon buddy-cop comedy is absent from TV right now."

I couldn't agree more! Everything has to be "dark" and "deep" these days, there's no fun in shows anymore.

And wouldn't be the part of the human cop just perfect for Joe Flanigan? I mean, he did say that he was thinking of penning a show about a cop who would hunt alien criminals, didn't he?

I loved the series! Loved it, loved it!!

*crosses fingers* that Joe might look into though he said he only wants to do a TV character that is as interesting as Sheppard....

I think that this show will be obviously action based on the two main characters, like the old was, and Joe did say that he would like to film another scifi show that would focus more on characters - so this one would be perfect. And if it was filmed in LA...

To be honest, I don't hold much hope, but he WAS talking about a cop hunting aliens so...
