Just curious what everyone has to say about the idea of a FS television series. Personally I would want Ronald Moore (Star Trek Deep Space Nine/Battlestar Galactica) or Manny Coto (Star Trek Enterprise) to executive produce.
Might be an idea to wait until more of the property is available to transfer to the screen. There will be a whole lot of story here and the TV show would out pace the books (no one wants to be stuck in a Game of Thrones Reader's nightmare...watching the show before being able to take a bite out of the book)
In saying that Part one could be split into 3 seasons. The PC / The Return / The The Liberation. Thats 3 Seasons on TV based on 5/6 years of Books... Luckily with the Pause between Part 1 & 2 it would make sense to Skip a few years before season 4 airs... To Age the Actors some.
Right from the start I saw it as a TV series. As it seemed to me Joss Whedon would be good as it seems like Firefly in the way that Ryk is writing it.
