Fandom Dispersal Draft

[dlgood]

Was having a random conversation today about sports, the draft, and so on with soundingsea when I had a weird thought...

What if our favorite TV shows could make trades? Can you imagine how that might go?

You might trade actors around to fill major gaps in the cast, or stockpile talent. What if Veronica Mars could just sell off characters to get under the CW cost caps.

Like, would you trade the Vengeful Ghost of Don Lamb off to Grey's Anatomy in return for Addison Montgomery and Cash Considerations?

Or what if there was some arbitrary dispersal draft. Pretend the existing shows all got axed, and we could sit and draft any cast among existing primetime lineups to put our programs together.

How crazy would that be? Anybody want to throw out some hilarious ideas for general amusement. I may have to develop this more, later on...

Nathan Fillion is clearly the Jeff George of TV - he should be a marquee star, but he fails whenever he gets on a show. I think Lost should draft him fulltime.

The Office needs more hawtness, and (sadly) Desperate Housewives has plenty to spare. I figure there should be a trade of Jim for Felicity Huffman and a hottie to be named later.

Deadwood's loss is BSG's gain, as they pick up Ian McShane as the final cylon, who tells Baltar to Declare, or shut the fuck up.

Not quite. Jeff George is a cancerous clubhouse presence who tends to look great but make teams far worse by his mere presence. The closest parallel to Jeff George would probably be Shannen Doherty.

Fillion strikes me as more like Jon Kitna. You'd think he'd be pretty good, but his teams don't win and he winds up getting cut and bouncing around.
