Starship Castle

With a new Star Trek movie coming out (which by all accounts will completely vindicate those of us who were teased as children), io9’s put together the Top Ten Rules of Space Opera as a handy reference. One of my favorites is

10. Somebody wise should predict something, but nobody will pay attention or be able to understand the prediction.
Nevertheless, words from the prediction will be repeated over and over throughout the space opera, in echoing voiceovers that grow increasingly portentous as the ending draws nigh.

To be fair, everyone KNOWS that Harry Dresden could beat that Potter kid in a fight. Wouldn’t even be fair.

But the argument over “who would win” is usually the fun part, which is why we’re excited about a story over at THR.

Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli from Heroes)’s company DiVide Pictures is working with Agility Studios to produce the web series ‘Ultradome.’ Episodes will be 3-5 minutes, and will feature characters who first debate the crossover battles, “then are transported to a stadium where the duo engage in single combat using all the weaponry, skills and pop culture touchstones from their respective hero’s creative arsenal.”

The producers are hoping to launch this summer, so you’d better watch out, Potter. I’m just saying.
