Skiffy comes up with something good! Face Off

[Temis the Vorta]

Face Off.

Face Off is a competition/elimination series exploring the world of special-effects make-up artists and the unlimited imagination which allows them to create amazing works of living art. Not only will the show incorporate effects make-up, it will include a wide range of skill sets including prosthetics, 3-D design, animatronics, sculpting, eye enhancers, puppeteering, casting and molding.

Wow! This may be the first "reality TV" show I'm interested in watching. Could be very cool.

They should keep going with this idea. Competition to create the best alien world. Best spaceship. Best plotline. Best cast of characters. Then put them together into a TV series.

you seem to have forgotten about the cooking show

Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen
Utilizing the science of cooking, Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen stars one of America’s most notorious chefs, molecular gastronomist Marcel Vigneron (Top Chef). In each episode, Marcel and his new catering and event company will be hired by a demanding client to produce an extraordinary celebration or event. Based on the client’s requests, Marcel will dream up a theme and cuisine for the event, which range from a fairytale graduation party and a Goth-rock fashion show to a birthday dinner held on a platform suspended in mid-air.

still Face/Off is an interesting idea.

I didn't forget the cooking show. The topic at hand is: Skiffy came up with something good.

And how can a cooking show be sci fi unless they make people eat tube grubs and gagh?

^What exactly would a Vorta with no sense of taste know about cooking ?

Go eat your kava nuts and rippleberries.

 

[Caliburn24]

^Sick burn!

Ohhhhhh!

 

[Joy]

Actually... the cooking show sounds slightly interesting. Since the chef is a molecular gastronomist, we'll probably get to see all sorts of fun science-fictiony types of foods, like tuna foam and cola beads.

 

[Deckerd]

Is he like Heston Blumenthal then?

 

[TremblingBluStar]

I thought for a second they were doing a series based on the John Travolta/Nickolas Cage film. That would be... interesting.

Obviously you've never seen Good Eats. Seriously, if Syfy wanted a cooking show, they should've hired Alton Brown.

that was my first thought

 

[Nick Ryder]

Yeah Alton Brown could have done a good sci-fi cooking show, he's a bit of a sci-fi geek too. Although am I the only one who thinks that Alton Brown sounds a LOT like Bruce Campbell? Now that could be fun! Bruce Campbell and Alton Brown in... "The Kitchen that Ate Me!"

I have better taste than Skiffy! 'Course that's not saying much...

It's a mighty stretch to call that "science fiction." At best, it belongs on the Discovery Channel.

What would be far more appropriate: actual speculative foods of the future, that don't currently exist. A foodie gimmick du jour like molecular gastronomy isn't remotely related to sci fi.

They should just hire Alton Brown for anything.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

The Food Channel can, sure. Skiffy should try doing sci fi every so often. Just for something different.
