Looks like we might be getting an unusual show soon. Nothing is written in stone but they are thinking about it. I am curious how this would be received here :


From: iO9 SyFy Series: DMZ


Syfy has ordered a pilot based on the beloved Brian Wood comic. Here's the Amazon rundown on this long horrific story. It follows a "war journalist trapped in a most unlikely war zone: the streets of New York City. In the near future, America's worst nightmare has come true. With military adventurism overseas bogging down the Army and National Guard, the U.S. government mistakenly neglects the very real threat of anti-establishment militias scattered across the 50 states. Like a sleeping giant, Middle America rises up and violently pushes its way to the shining seas, coming to a standstill at the line in the sand - Manhattan or, as the world now knows it, the DMZ. Matty Roth, a naive young man and aspiring photojournalist, lands a dream gig following a veteran war journalist into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong, and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television. There, he is faced with a choice: try to find a way off the island, or make his career with an assignment most journalists would kill for. But can he survive in a war zone long enough to report the truth?" Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck.

Sounds like propaganda to me.

Sounds like pro-gov propaganda to me. It will suck. I doubt that a movie that supported the truth behind militias would ever be able to get the funding to produce it, let alone show it.

"Since it's on SYFY it will only have the best acting, story, plot, and special effects money can buy," he said sarcastically.

Maybe Bruce Campbell and Renee O'Connor with star in it!

This was my thought. Right in line with that Obama line about Tyranny and "You should dismiss that."

They'll use it to spin a pro-gov theme.

Why in the hell would anyone try to capture NYC? As has been already hinted: wall that f'r off and let the lefties devour themselves! [LOL]

No shit. From the description, it sounds like the war's over. "Middle America...pushes it way to the shining seas". Now firebomb the coasts and wrap this thing up.

You would think any Obama Propaganda team could do better than SyFy. Where will they slot this in? Between 8 hours of wrestling and three cosplay shows?

Maybe they feel like they already have the clowns that watch the bigger networks, so they are hoping to capture that Anti-America-militia-member-God-and-alien-fearing SyFy viewer.
