How about Jackson Caprice and Scott "TJ" Jansen?

Alright Malibu... FIGHT TO THE DEATH!

Richard Dean Anderson: Alistair Caprice Jan Michael Vincent: TJ Warren

You're insane. And Crazy. And not my kind of Crazy. Serenity wasn't fucking slow, you insane crazy lady. It simmered nicely, heating up character development and savoury dialogue.

Rounding out the cast: Charles S. Dutton IS Police Chief Del Ray

To which he says "Cheque please!" and we say "Czech PLEASE" and then we disco.

Ok, we have the Season 1 Primary cast down. Reginald VelJohnson IS Tyron Jenkins Derek Luke IS Remmy Jenkins That Fine Morris Chestnut IS The Dark Prince Alfonzo Ribiera IS Robert Jenkins Tiny Lister IS Grave Filler Edward James Olmos IS Diablos Del Santos Sara Maldonada IS Julia Santos Danny Trejo IS El Caducar Demonio Maria Conchita IS Rosa Santos Michelle Rodriguez IS Tough-but-Sexy Lola Dirk Bennidict IS James Woodworth Harrington, Attorney-at-Law

Hot Catch Phrase: "Czech, Please!"

Mole and Banky: Mole was a misfit on his own planet because of his sense of humor. So the humorless Olans sent him off to study Canadians, whose "crazy" customs they had never been able to understand. Mole landed, in a giant eggshell near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. There he was befriended by pretty Banky Edwards, a clerk at the music store run by his father, Frederick. Mole looked human, but his strange mixture of Olan and Earthling customs--such as wearing a suit, but putting it on backwards, or sitting in a chair, but upside down--led most people to think of him as just as some kind of nut. Banky knew where he came from, and helped him adjust to Canada's strange ways. He also let him stay in the attic of his apartment house, which scandalized his conservative father, but not his swinging grandmother, Cora.

Hows about this for Julia? Sara Maldonado (24)

Doogie Malibu MD: Young Prodigy Doogie Malibu becomes a doctor at a local gynecologists office, his throughts are chronicaled in his online journal... *cue Doogie Howser music* July 9th 2004: First day on the job... I can't believe I get paid for this. Jully 19th 2004: I can't believe that I am going to say this but... I've gotten sick of the pussy... I... I don't know what to believe any more... there was nothing in California Dreams or Saved by the Bell that could prepare me for such a thing... WWZMD?

Derek Luke from Antoine Fisher and Biker Boyz is in lead contention for Remmy. *edited* Yeah, like Curry said.

I think the gang war/cops should be the centre piece of the second season - the first season is mainly about remmy and julia along with their families. You can introduce all the players in season 1, for an episode, but ultimately, Season 2 is all about "that".

I'm moving back to Season 1. SHOW TITLES (11 episodes for the first season) Episode 1: Dead End. Episode 2: Across the room she looked. Episode 3: Destiny/Reality. Episode 4: On her shoulder he cried. Episode 5: Good Night, Good Night Episode 6: The Dark Prince Episode 7: The Day all 7 will die. Episode 8: Estas Delicias Violentas Episode 9: Rumours Episode 10: La Noche del Demonio Episode 11: Cut Out in Little Stars

I figure the Asian Femme Fatales would be introduced in Season 2, but become more prominent in Season 3 - which theme has yet to be named. Hamlet? Does Diablos remarry and then get killed by his brother who claims the family fortune and Diablos' widow? Then, does Diablos' excommunicated son return from serving in the Mexican Military to find all this drama bestowed upon him and then goes mad?

The Russians are SOOOOO late Season 2 material which puts pressure on the newly renamed "The Dark King" and builds his frustration.

The finale should build to the gang war but stop when Remmy and Julia die - which brings the show full circle and in-line with the first episode. The Season 2 premiere is when all the gang stuff "blows up" and sets in motion the MacBeth-esque storyline of The Dark Prince killing Tyron and claiming the top spot with Lola in his ear. Who would be the hero though? Remmy and Julia were the heros of the first season, the second season could be... ?

"'I didn't say anything?', Bitch you almost made me laugh."

So is every summer movie this year judged on the Van Helsing scale? Excellent Movie: Infinitely better than VH Very Good Movie: SOOOOOO much better than VH Good Movie: A lot better than VH Bad Movie: Better than VH VH: VH. ?

What are you two fags fagging-on about?

I looooooooooved Serenity. I think it was the perfect first episode which introduced the characters and universe in just the right way. Plus it had some hilarious moments and fun twists ("that man is psychotic"). Now that I think of it, the first few episodes could be seen as "slow", but Firefly was aaaaaaall about taking its time. Disk 3 had Four of the best episodes on it, so I imagine your enjoyment would pick up by then Of course, this discussion could be saved for another thread.... you know... that lil thread thats hanging around on page 2...

Oh MAN, Remmys mother could have died BEFORE giving birth to him so the doctors had to "cut him out", so to speak, and he could be the one who kills The Dark Prince. Though, I think LOTC wants El Caducar Demonio to off him... that could still work. Here's what I'm thinkin for the episodes (as talked about with Curry last night over MSN): Episode 1 changes up and starts off for the Cold Opening with the entire scene of Remmy and Julia's death. The rest of the episode is from the POV of the two fathers as they grieve for their children. The end of the episode has a "One year earlier" tag and features Remmy looking across a crowded dance hall and seeing Julia. Episode 2 starts off with Remmy coming home after living in NY. He doesn't know his father is a drug dealer and wonders how he gets all the money to make his appartment (which is a combination of 4 apartment spaces) look so nice (Tyron would be the owner of the building as well and where he does a lot of his business out of). Tyron has Robert take Remmy around and get him "familiar" with stuff. Remmy also starts to go to school and goes to the Orientation Dance. The first half of the episode is dedicated to him and his final scene has him looking across the room at something (which we all know is Julia). The second half shows Julia yelling at her father, praying for her mother, breaking up with her old boyfriend, etc. etc. etc. There's a lot of drama going on for her and she needs to relax... she goes to the dance. The finale scene is her looking back at him. Episode 3 has him courting her and whatnot. Both of them find out who each-other-is at the end of the episode, but it doesn't matter to either of them. Episode _ has Remmy and Julia talking at the Santos estate. Diablos overhears him talking about his mother and how she died during labor. This gives him a sense of grief; You see, when he was an underling for the gang leader in the 70's, Diablos was sent to poison the epidural needle of one Winnifred Jenkins, and it was always something that haunted him. He tells his feelings to Lola and then Lola tells them to The Dark Prince. The Dark Prince tells Tyron in hopes of enraging him into war with Diablos so both groups can kill each other off, but Tyron -who gets close to going to war- decides that too much blood has been shed over the territory and that it must end. Lola tells The Dark Prince that Tyron has become way too soft and that he (TDP) needs to take over. This begins The Dark Prince's season-long quest to get ontop the drug game. Lola, in the meantime, tells Diablos that Tyron was responsible for Rosa getting AIDS. The episode ends with Santos holding his dying wifes hand and then looking out the window with contempt when he sees Remmy drive in to pick up Julia. Futher Developments: - The Dark Prince tries to bring Grave Filler over to his side and betray Tyron, but Grave Fillers loyalty runs deep and says to TDP that he's going to tell Tyron about his motives. TDP has to kill Grave Filler and plants a gun to make it look like Demonio did it. This enrages Tyron who is on the verge of going to war with Diablos. This is a Season 2 development, which takes place after the death of Remmy and Julia, but could work for Season 1... though Romeo & Juliet for S1 and MacBeth for S2 seems like the right idea.

Cold Opening: *Dressed in a dark blue suit, a young black man (remmy) enters a hospital, running through the halls -in slow motion- with a desperate look on his eyes. Just the sound of his breathing is heard* *A doctor gets in his way, mouthing "you can't go in there" to him. He pushes the doctor away and enters the unidentified room... it's the morgue, with a female body covered in a sheet* *His hand reaches out and pulls back the cloth to reveal a young, hispanic woman in her early 20's/late-teens lying there* *the man breaks down in tears* Intro: The opening music is "Killing me Softly" by the Fugees and is spliced together by clips from the show and ultimately ending with both Remmy and Julia dead together: I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style, And so I came to see him and listen for a while. And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes, Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with this song, killing me softly with this song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd, I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. I prayed that he would finish, But he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers, (One Time!) Singing my life with his words, (Two Time!) Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song

Pilot: "Dead End" Synopsis: In the first episode of this spin on Romeo and Julliet, Remmy and Julia find themselves alone in the morgue, while their respective familes are preparing for full-out war. The show mainly focuses on the families and their reaction to Julias death, but begins with Remmy entering the morgue and ends with Julia stabbing herself (with their "end" spread throughout the show). The rest of the season details how they got there, and how their love blossomed.

Preface: It's 2 in the morning and LordoftheCurry and I are having another late-night discussion. Tonight, we're discussing "The Street", an hour-long drama for UPN that is a modern spin on Romeo and Julliet. It's a common thing we do, making up often-ridiculous "scripts"/plots for a TV show or Movie which tends to involve Edward James Almos as a Mexican Drug Lord. So, rather than keeping these BRILLIANT stories to ourselves, we figured we should put it somewhere more permanent and for other people like us -with disturbing imaginations and a penchant for creating fictional worlds - to join in and put their thoughts to pape-err I mean cyberspace... This is mainly for Curry and my amusement, but we encourage anyone interested to join in. You can start your own or add-on to an existing piece. The sky is the limits in terms of topic matter; it could be a spin-off from a TV show, a blending of genres and stories, or just an original piece... And now.. "THE STREET" Starring: Reginald Vel Johnson as Tyron Jenkins - the owner of an inner city youth centre and drug dealer. He justifies his seedy business by giving money to the community. His wife, Winnifred Jenkins, died while giving birth to Remmy. Edwards James Olmos as Diablos Del Santos, aka Miguel Santos - Mexican Drug Lord who is looking to move in on Jenkins' territory, and will step over anyone who gets in his way. His wife, Rosa, has AIDS from a dirty needle which was sent from Vel Johnson and meant for Diablos. (Uncast) Remmy Jenkins - youngest child of the Jenkins family, he grew up shielded from the world by his father and older brothers and lived the majority of his life with his aunt in New York. He is back home in California and going to college, studying English and Shakespeare, of all things. (uncast) Julia Santos - daughter of Diablo Santos, a free-spirit who wants nothing to do with the family business. She wants to be an actress and despite her fathers connections in Hollywood, she wants to make it on her own. She is taking acting classes in the same school as Remmy. Alfonso Ribera as Robert Jenkins - the eldest brother who wants to take over the family business. He thinks his father is too defensive and shouldn't let Santos come into the territory. Infact, he thinks that THEY should invade the Mexican turf and expand their market. Michelle Rodriguez as Lola - the tough but sexy mistress of Santos who does the dirty work for her man - selling her body to business partners and allies to make sure shit runs smoothly... sometimes the sex turns into death if the objective is revenge. Morris Chestnut as The Dark Prince - his real name is Arthur Peterson, but if you call him that he'll pump you full of lead. The Dark Prince is Tyrons second and looks after the drug side of the business full time. He and Lola are secretely seeing each other and conspiring to drive both families out of business.
