See, much as I love JMS... Okay, so he's like the plot god. Nobody does big huge plot arcs like he does. I'm less enthused by his ability as a director/writer of dialogue, though - sometimes he's great, and then sometimes it goes off the deep end into total melodrama. And while it might work, it might also go too far and end up shooting the script in the foot, you know what I mean?
On the other hand, I would still so totally back it if he'd been given the chance. If only because... damn, it'd be nice to see him work with a real budget. ♥
No, no - Affleck is totally not Spocky-y. Although I'm not sure who is, come to that. They might have to go with a total uknown... at the very least I can't think of anybody who'd work.
I know. It's like whichever one he's supposed to be, I'm automatically thinking of the other. They're just such great contradictions! XD
