The once-beautiful "Outer Zone" (O.Z.) has been zapped into a frigid and decaying wasteland. One of O.Z.'s inhabitants, known only as Lavender Eyes, has been imprisoned. Her stunningly evil captor in black leather is the sorceress Azkadellia. The Woman is just part of the sorceress's nefarious plot—to suck the souls out of her minions and harness the energy to jump the gap between her world and the "other side"—a place called Earth. But Azkadellia's prescient wolverine servant, Lylo, warns his mistress of a vile presence that embodies goodness, an alarming glimmer of light and hope that could be her undoing. She is DG, a rebellious young waitress from Omaha, imbued with wanderlust and visited upon in her dreams by none other than Lavender Eyes and the fellow slaves whose pleas of "save us" urge DG to follow her destiny.
DG does just that, right over a cliff into a swirling storm, face first in a debris-strewn land of double suns. She eventually encounters Cain, a former policeman from the city in the center of OZ whose past left him hardened. Enlisting the help of Glitch, a man missing half his brain, and Raw, a quiet yet powerful creature looking for courage, DG and Cain embark on a journey of deliverance along a crumbling old road. Where it leads is into the decadence of the Twister Cabaret, the flamboyant shocks of the Realm of the Unwanted, the fetid horrors of the Black Swamp, and deep into the darkening heart of O.Z. and the mind of the Mystic Man who knows all. As Cain learns to feel again, DG will discover her role in the fate of a city, her startling connection to Lavender Eyes and to Azkadellia herself.
This airs tomorrow at 9 pm. I can't wait. It looks weird and awesome. Which is a good combination.
Who else is going to watch this?
At comic-con they advertised this show by giving out green apple ringpops and little comic books giving a little bit of background on the series. It seemed pretty neat and if I had a working television I might tune in to watch

I am going to check this out. I grew up watching the Wizard of Oz (and Return to Oz) many, many times. I hate the way Wicked inter-twines every character's history in it's re-imagining/prequel so I hope this one turns out good.

Yeah, Seph's right. Why are we watching a remake to a movie that was only a gimmick anyway?
(hint: It was a book you fucking retard and yes, the Technicolor was a novelty at the time but they didn't create the movie as a showcase for it.)
Even if it hadn't been a good book previously, who cares what the reason was, if it resulted in something people can enjoy. Wait it wasn't created with the right reasons? well then IT MUST BE WORTHLESS.
man, I hate how people are all, "oh yeah I know all about the wizard of oz" but really they don't have a clue about the fourteen oz books written by l frank baum
I am proud to say that I have read every single one
Ok, I can't joke too much, we went over the first book (at least) in my history class. Apparently the author wrote the books as commentary on the state of politics at the time. There are a whole lotta metaphors crammed into those books.

Curl up on the couch with me, Nev?
STEAM!
remade ideas can suck, but this one actually looks good
the previews/trailers for it have been really unusual and weird.
which = awesome.
I get that it's just a rehashing of an old idea, but I liken it to some cover songs. There are always some that do the original justice in a new way.
her sister is the only reason I watch Bones
(Nah I dunno)
Yes please.
Zoey Deschanel?
Even better.
if I had cable.
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
what channel?
And its got Richard Dreyfuss in it, too. Good actor, but hasn't done much for a while.
this is actually fake, its just a bird moving its wing
That's what they want you to think
Way to buy into that
I can only hope it doesn't go the Tim Burton-esque "WHOO LOOK THIS SURE IS QUIRKY" aesthetic.
I will make everything clear.
Or the tin man if you're into that sort of thing.
Question: Do gays/women find Alan Cummin attractive? He kinda puts me off because of his perfume thing he did.
Yes, yes......thank you for helping me regain my beliefs.
Spooky indeed!
...what
Maybe I should visit a friend with cable to check this out...
I'm surprised my dad never murdered me in my sleep
like it was the first movie to have color or some shit
that was the whole thing
the idea was based around the color
this is just shit wrapped inside a shitty sci fi channel movie
like a shit pocket
which isn't far from a regular hot pocket
anyway sci fi hasn't been good since farscape cancellation and that woman took over as pres of the sci fi channel company whatever
she has terrible ideas and employs people with similar terrible ideas
Yay!

Whoa, he IS cantankerous 0.o Sounds like someone's a big Judy Garland fan.

The only thing I really remember is the crazy heads in jars, and I think something happened in an ocean later
God it was fucked up
