Okay place your predictions here, whether they be good ones you want to happen, bad ones you don't want to happen or just some light, humourous ones to start the New Year with a laugh.

The Serious Ones:

1. In the event of a long writers strike even more reality TV will surface from the murky waters. Like:
'Are You Smarter Than Your Pet?' featuring contestants that obviously aren't.
'Pope Idol'
'I'm In The Desert, Get Me Out Of Here'
'I'm In The Artic, Get Me Out Of Here'
Because of the lack of anything else on TV each show will have an Original Version, an Extra Version an hour after the Original (showing bits they didn't show first time), a Highlights Version, and a Panel Discussion Version with Z-List Celebs.

2. Ellen Page will get a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Juno.

3. The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be a big hit. Summer Glau will become a major star (like SMG when Buffy hit big). The rest of the world will realise what we already know.

4. THE sequel will be announced.

The Not So Serious Ones (I hope):

1. A F*x mutant will come up with the bright idea of combining space and westerns into a TV show centered around a ship crewed by a group of anti-heroes. It will be advertised properly and shown in the right order and it will be a big hit. Browncoats the world over will revolt and riot against all that is F*x.

2. Nathan's 'Drive' TV show will be released as a Complete Series boxset.

3. Chrisisall will finally run out of ideas to type before the 'isall' of his name.

Thats me started, any others?

March: The Dutch/Zombie war will break out, after a short period it will end with a monkey Apocolypse.

STRANGEBIRD

Dakota Fanning will get arrested for DUI

Peter Jackson will get pissed at New Line again and walk out on the Hobbit

The writers will overthrow the producers and make the shows we actually want to see

Alan Tudyk will finally apologize publicly for his over-exuberance taken so seriously

I'll convert another family member from reality TV junkie to Browncoat

George Lucas and company will keep talking about a live action TV series we know we really don't want to see anyway

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be a huge hit with fans and critics but will be canceled since the current ratings system does not work and never really has

Joss will announce another Comic Book, debunk sequel rumors, get misquoted and come back and say he didn't mean never just not right now... again

IGN will do a top babes of all time and finaly get it right with a tie between all four BDB(if this hasn't been used before it means Big Damn Babes... I wanted Big Damn Hotties but that could get confusing as they are all pretty hot depending on who you ask) and YoSafBridge

.... that's all for now

NCBROWNCOAT

The writers will all move to the internet to produce literate, funny, fantastic shows and TV as we know it will die.

Ign will come out with a "Hot Hunks of Sci Fi" issue and the winner will be the BDHunks, Nathan, Alan, Sean, Adam and Ron.

Take that William Shatner!

DARKFLY

Add this to the serious predication's:
Fux fail as a film TV studio their films bomb in 2008 and their tv shows fail and die. They go bankrupt and the rights to all their shows & films are gone are left for any other studio to pick up for nothing. Sci-fi channel pick up the Firefly rights and in 2009 Sci-fi premiere the 2nd season of Firefly. And Universal make a sequel shortly after due to the popularity of show.

A few more of my own:

After Posh Spice's failed attempt to become American and Madonna's failed attempt to become English, a 'foreigner exchange' will take place mid-Atlantic.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will split.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will split.

Now that Take That and the Spice Girls have announced their comeback, S Club whatever will reform, followed at the end of the year by Steps. Followed by the end of intelligent life on this planet.

"No power in the 'verse can stop me!"

The writers strike will see folk revolt and turn against the TV companies... nothing will rate, not even the rash of new 'reality TV shows' they will vomit out! Nothing!!!

Direct to Internet and Direct to DVD will be the way of the future... pre-sales of the 2nd season, coupled with the fact that all the BDHs will be avail (due to their current shows not being in production due to the writers strike) will see it become a groundbreaking first show to embrace the direct to DVD market!

Browncoats will do it again!

Oh and the sequel will be announced and will be better than any of us dreamed it could be and Joss might not even kill another BDH in the process...

People who have seriously wronged others will start sincerely and passionately appologising for their nasty lies and deceitful ways...

Yeah - OK so that last one isn't going to happen... but I like to dream!

Happy New Year eveyone!

PROTOTYPE7

Ghostbusters will make the comeback it deserves when the new video game comes out... a new version of the movies will be released with even more extra features... Oh, and I'll keep watching Firefly and Serenity and praying for another show, dvd, or movie!

And I'll hopefully get to start working on my photography more than I do now.

By the way - magdelena, your little Jayne "whip this out" image is hi-larious!

MUGGI

Michael Bloomberg will enter the U.S. Presidential race as an Independant, with Ron Paul as his V.P. candidate.

Backed by Bloomberg's warchest (bigger than anything any candidate can raise), they'll inundate the country with marketing and win the election.
