sf/f TV development news - 2015

The wording of the article would suggest otherwise, but I still think it's possible that he's actually just doing one of the upcoming Netflix shows (which are produced by ABC, after all).
 
There is a comment in the lastest THR that sony are looking to combine Jump Street with Men in Black???????
 
So this will be the second time that Jaime Alexander has played a mysterious woman who first appears naked with no memory.
 
I'm really confused by the Frankenstein Code. I'll admit, I haven't read the book so my knowledge comes purely from pop culture, but I thought Frankenstein's monster was a new individual who was made of parts of multiple dead people stitched together, not a single guy who was brought back from the dead?
As for Limitless, I really wish the whole thing abut us only using 10% of our brains would just die already.

I don't think the show is really an adaptation of Frankenstein; it's just using the name metaphorically. Anyway, I think I read that the idea behind the show is that the guy's brain is brought back in a new, synthetic body, much like Now and Again, if you remember that show. So that's where the Frankenstein analogy comes in.

(Anyway, the "stitched together from body parts" thing comes mainly from the 1931 movie. The book was vague about how the creature was created -- after all, it was presented as Victor Frankenstein's first-person account, and he considered his creation sinful and didn't want anyone to know how he'd done it -- but it was a more intricate process of creating a whole new body from materials harvested from "the dissection room and the slaughter-house," suggesting they included both human and animal tissues.)

The people who use that idea are using less than 10% of their creativity.
 
Luficer looks absolutely terrible - is there any show on fox that doesn't have to be at least part police prodecural?
