That makes some sense, I think it's the *train* element that always struck me odd, plus the fact that they're not headed toward any single destination. Now, Battlestar Galactica, there's your Wagon Train to the Stars.
Fox wants to try a sci-fi Western again!?!

Sounds interesting. If it comes to fruition I'll definitely check it out!!
A "wagon train" implies that they are emigrants travelling to settle some new land. Those are the people who used actual wagon trains in the Old West. Star Trek was more like the US Cavalry, roaming around because their job was, in part, to safeguard colonists (and even that fell by the wayside after TOS). The Western analogies in Star Trek are extremely minimal. The "Wagon Train to the Stars" was just a cynical ploy to make the network suits think they were getting the sci fi version of a successful show.
I wonder if the Chuck guy might Adam Baldwin to appear in some capacity...

Chuck sucks, therefore I am not amused. They should just make DT, this is too similar for my liking.
I never understand the bile leveled at Fox, for how they treat their shows.
I mean I certainly understand that networks (in general) often water down ideas from various creators, or don't fully understand them (and this is true with all networks). And I understand people get upset when shows they care for get cancelled (and again this happens on every network). Fox, for all of those faults (which it shares with others), often picks up more scifi themed shows then any of the other networks (and thats with them actually scheduling fewer shows then the other three).

Chuck rocks, I hope this is close to being as good.
I guess since Fox screwed the pooch on "Firefly" they are trying to grab that viewing audience again.
I like Westerns and I love Sci-Fi, but I've always had a hard time getting into the combined genre.

Then why is your avatar a cowboy on Mars?
That's not Mars.Then why is your avatar a cowboy on Mars?
Good luck getting a quality director after what they did with Firefly...or maybe they'll just settle for some dribble to humor their non thinking viewers.
Not to mention Cowboy Bebop, which was genius.
The others all still pale in comparison to Firefly though- and it's set the bar pretty damn high.
