Since I acquired the entire run of Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD a couple of weeks back, I've, er, become somewhat immersed. Even though we pay upwards of about $50/month for cable TV here, the selection of viewable fare, to quote Data, is exceedingly paltry. Thus the lame attempt to declare independence.
But my immersion led me to wonder what would happen if, for some reason, Casablanca, with Humphrey Bogart and that Swedish woman, had ever become serialised. You know, the Adventures of Rick.
You'd have a different adventure for Rick each week, instead of having to settle for an eternity of 90 minutes of "Here's To You, Kid." With CGI at the stage at which it is, you could just call in Andy Serkis to reanimate Bogey and we'd have a fantastic 7-season run of Casablanca: The Next Generation. You drink when Bogey drinks. You smoke when Bogey smokes.
The possibilities are boundless. The office is open for script consideration. First episode: Encounter with The Rat Pack.
