TV Present and Future

[newnumber6]

Right now, I'm really enjoying Avatar: The Legend of Korra (I refuse to call it TLAB). Especially what glimpses we saw at the end of the last episode that I hope will get far more detail. But instead of talking directly about Korra, I want to talk about what might potentially come After Korra

"Beautiful People": This drama set in the near future features a society where humans co-exist with mechanical androids, who are treated as second-class citizens. Until the androids begin to awaken. I know virtually nothing about this but I love the premise enough to give it a try if it makes it to air. Of course, it probably won't.

That sounds like the Swedish show, "Äkta människor" AKA "Real Humans" I've sort of gotten into. I've only seen 3 episodes, but so far it is really, really good. Here's the wikepda for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Humans

And I really, really like your ideas for the Airbender series. I didn't get too much into "The Last Airbender" but I've been watching Korra with my kid and I am very impressed. Doesn't hurt that the animation is lovely too.

Seems interesting, although I don't know if Beautiful People is meant to be inspired by it or it's just a coincidence.

Of course, knowing how Hollywood works, if they acknowledge it as a source, they'll have changed everything that made the first one cool, and if they don't, it'll wind up being almost a complete ripoff! ;)

Yes, the animation is lovely... I think at present I still like A:TLA more, but Korra could easily overtake it, it's still early.
