Question! (And possible discussion)

Feb 03, 2008 01:22

So, I already posted this question to my journal, but since I am horribly anti-social, haven't gotten any help. I'm trying to write a fic, but two things have kind of stumped me. I figured this was as good a place as any to find some help ( Read more... )

fic help, questions

I dont remeber them ever mentioning a rank but as far as i can remember I think it was called Sin City Square hope this helps some.

Yes, that does sound familiar. I'll take another go at finding the actual reference, but I'm pretty sure that's it. Thanks!

There's nothing on the Sci-Fi website. I've scoured that for clues. Does this mean I could possibly play with it?
that's cause the scifi site SUCKS. (sorry, a little biased) as does the whole channel these days, minus these 6 hours.

so yeah, i'd take that as license to play.

I'll have to take your word for it. We don't get the Sci-Fi channel in Canada. I would assume our Space Channel isn't much better.

Oh, and play with it I shall.

oh NO! Space is AWESOME compared to SciCrap. i really want Space and CBC. but seeing as i'm in the states, i can't do that.....

But Sci-Fi airs everything before Space does. Tin Man hasn't even been aired here at all, and it's going to premier on a pay-per-view channel. I like our Space originals, but sometimes things are aired so randomly that I just never know when to tune in.

Wikipedia is going by the original plan the writers had for Tin Man . Cain originally was going to be a detective investigating the murder of an elderly woman. When the writers got the go ahead to do the mini-series they changed everything - except for Cain being a cop in OZ and the title of the show.

Cain doesn't look much like a detective, though. It sounds a little to... urban for him. Though, I suppose Central City is an urban centre. I'm just confusing myself.

If the writers had gone with their original idea then they might have made him look more like a detective and he probably would have lived in Central City. But they did say that even then they had wanted Neal to play Cain so at least that didn't change. ^_~

So in answer to your original question, no, Cain is not a detective and I didn't see him portrayed that way.
