Fox picks up J.J. Abrams buddy robot cop pilot
by Doc on Sep.05, 2012, under Television
Not a lot of details yet, but reports are out this evening that Fox has picked up an unnamed pilot from J.J. Abrams, described as a “near-future action-packed buddy cop show”, in which the LAPD police are teamed up with “highly evolved human-like androids”. J.H. Wyman (Fringe) will write and executive produce with Abrams and Bryan Burk.
For some reason, my mind instantly turned to the Tekwar movies/series, which had human-like androids (derogatorily called “mechs”) working for the police. And does anyone remember Holmes and Yo-Yo?

Just after winning the Hugo award for his Doctor Who episode “The Doctor’s Wife”, writer Neil Gaiman let the world know that he is writing another episode! And according to io9, it is currently slated for the second half of Series 7 – but cautions that it could get bumped to a later series for budgetary reasons.
He doesn’t give any other details – could we see a sequel, with a return of Idris? Or would you want something totally different?
