This comment belongs in this thread for some reason I am too drunk to recall.
Tim Minear is associated with Wonderfalls, which is associated with Bryan Fuller, who is associated with Dead Like Me.
It's more on-topic than, say, muffalettas.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Tim Minear is associated with Wonderfalls, which is associated with Bryan Fuller, who is associated with Dead Like Me.
See? All it takes is one abstentious Polter-Cow with a voluminous memory to make me make sense. Soon, the fact that Lee Pace has played a character named Calpernia Addams will be clearly explicated as having something to do with linear accelerators.
Really. Stay tuned.
eta, two hours later: OK, maybe don't stay tuned. Anyway, not for obscure explications.

Right. I really liked DLM, and I'm looking forward to the new episodes.

All is well that ends in pizza.
It's like "Six Degrees of Firefly."

Watching Lovesick Ass.
Tracie Thoms has great legs.
I'm liking the arc already. Soon? I can read the spoiler thread.

Actually, I've feeling a wee bit peckish...
Dissent on Dead Like Me. See earlier post...
I don't think that Wonderfalls or Dead Like Me should even be thrown around in the same sentence....
Ok that is strong, but I really didn't like it. No sympathy for the characters.
Just like Kubrick, entertainment without a "soul" isn't worth my time.

Watching "Safety Canary." Sad about Kellie Waymire.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think stylistically the pilot of Dead Like Me is VERY similar to "Wax Lion." But the former series lost a lot of its charm with Bryan's departure. It's still good enough that I'll gladly watch the 2nd season, for Jasmine Guy alone if nothing else.
Especially since Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has become my new favorite show, practically ensuring that Spike won't be joining the cast of characters on Dead Like Me and taking over the limelight.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Sad about Kellie Waymire.
Oh, I had no idea! How terrible...

"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," which was mentioned in this thread for Tim-related reasons I can't remember, is showing tonight at midnight on Sci-Fi as part of their Twilight Zone marathon.
