An Open Letter to Bryan Singer

Just cuz he'll never read it, doesn't mean it doesn't need to get wrote.

First, here's how it happened:

friend: oh also, tangent, bryan singer BSG reimagining, wtf?
eruditechick: WHAT
eruditechick: THE
eruditechick: EFF
eruditechick: BRYAN SINGER, WTF
friend: i irrationally hate it
friend: seriously
friend: in ways I very rarely irrationally dislike things, I dislike this
eruditechick:i have a rational for hating it
eruditechick: dear bryan
eruditechick: after one of the most controversial and argued endings
eruditechick: to one of the greatest science fiction shows of all time
eruditechick: why don't you effing REMAKE IT
eruditechick: less than SIX MONTHS after it airs
eruditechick: oh, wait, you just decided to?
eruditechick: because it's such a good idea?
eruditechick: and you'll be able to take such a fresh spin on it? since it's such an old property
eruditechick: and nobody holds any expectation in their minds
eruditechick: of how it should look or sound or feel or who the characters are?
eruditechick: awesome.
eruditechick: good luck.
eruditechick: douche.
friend: i think you should write that letter
friend: that is perfect
eruditechick: LOL
friend: especially where you call him a douche, that is the best part
eruditechick: as my lady wishes

So, here we go.

Dear Mr. Singer,

After one of the most controversial and argued endings to one of the greatest science fiction shows of all time, why don't you effing REMAKE IT, less than SIX MONTHS after it airs. Oh, wait, you just decided to? Because it's such a good idea? And you'll be able to take such a fresh spin on it? Since it's such an old property and nobody holds any expectation in their minds of how it should look or sound or feel or who the characters are?

Awesome. Good luck.

Douche.

Sincerely Yours,

Alan Alda

If we start referring to Bryan Singer as Brian Pooper, maybe he will come comment on the blog too! Worked for Shia LePoop.
