I don't even know where this came from. You know the movie Frequency? In case you don't, it's a charming sci-fi flick about a son (Jim Caviezel) reconnecting with his long-dead father (Dennis Quaid) via ham radio and some exceptionally powerful Northern lights, and setting right all the things that went wrong in their past. The words "charming" and "sci-fi" don't always go together, but trust me, they fit here. I'm very fond of this movie.

Anyway, I'm rewatching it so I can write about it for an online magazine. I want to concentrate on how it has a much more optimistic worldview than much of modern sci-fi/fantasy, and how it's willing to allow the possibility that the past really could be changed for the better without all sorts of horrible, irrevocable prices being paid and so forth. And then out of nowhere this came into my head:

What if Joss Whedon had written this film?

I -- I think I need to go curl up in the fetal position for a while.
