It came down to the wire for Syfy's two drama pilots about people with special abilities, Alphas and Three Inches, which were both in serious contention for a series pickup. Syfy just made its final decision, giving Alphas a 11-episode order in addition

Such a disappointment - I was so hoping that James would be a regular in a series again :(

[dontkillspike]

Yeah, it sucks. :( It would've been awesome to see James on a weekly basis again.

Three Inches

Yep, it sure does suck. I was hoping to see James Marsters and Kyle Schmid on TV again. I think we need to remind people at SyFy that we want to see this show. Come up with cleaver ideas, heck send them letters with rulers and tell them you want to see Three Inches. Whatever it takes. We need to let them know the demand is here. Wouldn't hurt if the fans of both these guys teamed up.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Let them know we're definitely interested in seeing it.

GET the LEAD OUT--GET MR. MARSTERS BACK IN THE PUBLIC VIEWING, dad blame it!! I'm not believing that the hard working folks in this group would be passed over!!!

[dontkillspike]

Well, here's hoping they won't be. :) I hope Syfy decide to go with the show at some point, and hopefully with James still attached. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I didn't get to see him in Atlanta in September nor in Austin in November and I'm rather beginning to be in a pissy little mood over it, but I was being all grown up and Bearing With It becos I believed there'd be a series where I could see him regularly--damn damn double damn triple damn HELL. I want Marsters and I want him now--great to be near to 70 and not have to be polite anymore...Why the hecky do will they now just find him some vehicle or the other and let him to it? He has worked the crowds enough to have a very strong base--he can do just about anything--can't really imagine him all Fred Astaire but I'm sure he'd wear that well too.

He's such a gentleman. I want my Mr. Marsters and I want what I want Mr. Marsters.

*lol* Fair enough! We could all do with a little more Marsters in our lives, I think. :)

I’ve read that they want to cut the new show Three Inches to a half hour show because its similar to Alphas. Many many people are looking forward to watching a hour long Three Inches supernatural action tv show. The Three Inches show has a great cast of characters, better then Alphas. Its about time the talented James Marsters was offered another tv show. I loved Marsters characters in Smallville and Torchwood. Its insane to cut the Three Inches show to a half hour show, which would actually be 15 minutes of show and 15 min. of commercials. Poor judgment and decision making. Both shows Alphas and Three Inches should be shown as an hour long show. If they are not happy with the Three Inches script premise being similar to Alphas, then change it. Bring back the imaginative talented writer Joss Whedon. Let Joss Whedon write the Three Inches script. Or sell the Three Inches show to another network.

Yeah, it would be disappointing if they decide to shorten the show. But, on the other hand, if it's the only way we're gonna get to see it, then I'd much prefer a shortened version to no version at all.

I still have my fingers crossed for an hour long show, though. All the more screen time for James. :)
