This week's
fannish5 totally deserves an answer.
Name five series that should have had a musical episode (and how it could have been explained).1) Doctor Who
The Doctor (for this Ten in my mind) and Rose land on a planet that communicated in song, or maybe there's some kind of alien virus that makes the do it, as long as I get my Doctor/Rose love songs and spazy dance numbers.
2) Robin Hood
Ummm...maybe Prince John made a decree that around him everyone had to sing, he could be that crazy for a few days, and he'd kill anyone who didn't (unfortunately that wouldn't provide enough of an excuse to get the Outlaws to sing and Sneaking Song as they sneaked into the castle.. Mostly I just think RA singing would be really sexy.
3) The Middleman
They totally could have done it in any number of ways, all of them probably more creative than I can come up with right now. But it would have been awesome.
4) Avatar
I suspect for that one we'd have to go with the someone got hit on the head and started seeing the world in song version (aka the Scrubs explanation) of one of Aang's past lives manages to make music and lots of singing happen. In any case I say, bending dance scenes, would be awesome.
5) Stargate
Either hit on the head, or alien infection, either way it would drive Jack nuts and would be fun to watch.
