Are we ready?
I was watching Battlestar (season 2.0) and aside from wondering why Black Men aren’t represented in any major story arc, I also asked myself if Black Folks are ready for a genre show with an all Black cast. Could there be a horror, fantasy, SF series, staring all Black people, that would get any type of ratings? Not to mention, would the show ever get made? Are we, the AfroGeeks and Alterna-Blacks of the world, even ready for this type of televised experience? There is now the Blade series, but the white characters are way more interesting. Kind of a carryover from Blade Trinity.
What are your thoughts?

I read this yesterday afternoon, and it wasn't until about 3am that I realized how much it was bothering me. It suddenly struck me that the only show worth a shit, that I can think of, which prominently features well developed black characters is OZ, which isn't even in production anymore.
It was sitting on the couch & it just fucking hit me. The only show with black characters who have been given full humanity is a fucking Prison Drama.
Yeah. It's time.
