James Wong will always deserve my money for his and Glen Morgan's stint on "The X-Files". That show was a breeding ground for excellent storytellers...

Wasn't he responsible for creating "Space: Above and Beyond"? I thought that was as good as the new BSG.

It is almst the team of soldier that went on to fight Rasputin and ended up with Hellboy

This could be pretty good; I like the premise. I loved the first few minutes of Hellboy; thought it was the best part of the film.

jerwest • Sep 25, 2006, 08:55am •

i wonder if Matt LeBlanc will use this as a starring vehicle.

it sounds cool though... if he's in it, that'd be cool too. he still needs to make up for his Lost in Space performance.

Joey's gonna be the new Hellboy? Cool! "Hey, Liz... How *YOU* doin'?"

I'd never heard of The Watch, but if you want to read an excellent WWII horror story, check out The Keep:

That book freaked me out. Don't bother watching the movie made from the book, though.
