To all of those people on my friends list who watch Justice League: you sucked me into another fandom, damnit! I thank hate you! Evil seductresses, the lot of ya, especially Bexless. I should just give up all hope for a life right. now.
Another minion of the Forces of Fandom Addiction is thefutoncritic.com, which kind enough to give me information on new shows months before they are released, so I can get hooked on things like
EMPIRE (A.K.A. TYRANNUS) (ABC) - The Alphabet is set to go forward with the Roman epic as the network has greenlighted production on the series. Eight-hours are set to begin shooting in mid-February or March for an expected fall 2004 air date. ABC had been in talks with Touchstone Television and Storyline Entertainment since August (read the story) to greenlight the $30 million project. A mix of history and fiction, "Empire" tracks the story of Julius Caesar's 17-year-old nephew Octavius, who battles general Marc Antony for control of Rome after Caesar is assassinated. Octavius finds an ally in Tyrannus, the gladiator assigned to protect him, and eventually becomes the famed emperor Augustus. Thomas Wheeler created the series and will executive produce along with Chip Johannessen ("Millennuium") and Storyline's Craig Zadan and Neil Meron ("The Music Man"). ABC is open to ordering additional episodes and seasons of the project however isn't likely to produce more than 13 installments per season. It's not clear what ABC's rollout plan will be for the series, which could run as eight one-hour episodes or a multi-night mini-series.
And, of course, I proved that I have been reading too much slash by immediately having my mind sent to the gutter by the description of Tyrannus and Octavius. Hell.
*sigh* Forgive me, I'm feeling unforgivably bratty today.
