The Rebel Alliance

Anyone who reads Sitrep regularly knows how I feel about "new media" and television and science fiction.

So it will not surprise any of you if I wax rhapsodic right now about this piece in the new issue of Fast Company, talking with Hollywood's 1337 geeks and their ideas on the future of television. As someone who has watched with great pleasure and fear the changes in the music business since the rise of the consumer internet, it all seems exciting. My personal toe-dips into the possibilities of transmedia storytelling have been immensely positive and inspiring.

As a sidenote: Ron Moore, Tim Kring, Damon Lindelof and other showrunners lounging around in back rooms, drinking scotch bourbon, making plans and talking about how Joss Whedon Is Their Master Now? It's Nerdvana, I tell you...and for trufans, really good news. [HT Whedonesque]
