That will be like buddy cop/superheroe drama if Ted Cord is there to help him out .

Can't say I'm flush with confidence. This has the potential to be another Flash Gordon/Painkiller Jane written all over.

Or it could go the route of Dresden Files and turn out good, but get cancelled anyways..

Hard to know if it will be good, I did enjoy the smallville episode with him in it so I hope the show captures the same feel but I don't have high hopes

[I-Ching]

Berlanti? Not a good sign. When your resume consists of mediocrity and borderline failures (No Ordinary Family was cancelled for a reason folks) I can't say I'm holding out optimism here.

Or it could be really good and run for a decade. It could be anything. But SyFy's their track record along these lines is cause for concern, that's all I'm saying.

Yeah, shows like battleship galactica and Alphas. Give it a chance and then destroy it.

I will this show a big try :)

(A) Nobody's "destroying" anything. (B) I plan to give it chance, but that doesn't preclude expressing an opinion now. (C) Galactica and Alphas are very different types of shows than this one will be.

God, I love the Internet.

Awesome news, this could definitely work on SciFi. It would definitely not appeal to the masses on another channel.

[CMBMOOL]

I never thought I see the day when some television channel wants a Booster Gold Live action television series.

I wonder if anyone from DC Comics will be involved, given that Geoff did the original Booster Gold episode in Smallville.

Whatever it is its than better wrestling other stuff that isnt SF,supernatural on SyFy.

I hope its good. Not many good shows in these genres around today.
