'The Message'


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.

"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

My favorite was the bit where Jaye told Eric "Wish I could destroy Heidi instead. Least I think she'd deserve it." And then his eyes filled up with fireworks.

Sarah Drew, who played Bianca in the Tim Minear penned Karma Chameleon, has a reoccuring role on Everwood. Interestingly enough, a main character on that show encourages her shy character to write an article for a major magazine (sound familiar?).

Raise your hand if you think Rupert Murdoch makes any of these sorts of programming decisions, or has ever seen Tru Calling, or even knows who Eliza Dushku is.

Even more troublesome is if you believe that Murdoch has seen TC and knows who ED is, then try to explain why production was just halted on TC and it was kicked off Fox's schedule.

Art Crawl!!!

Is she playing the girl who's parents are in France?

(I haven't seen last night's Everwood yet.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hm. Tim keeps saving the day.

I wonder if he takes off his glasses, spins in a phone booth donning tights and a cape and becomes SuperShowrunner.

Fighting for HoYAY!, HSQ, and SOs to ita.

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

Is SO still Significant Other in this context, or something else?

Thanks, 'Suela.

And maybe one of these days, he'll have them pronounce it right!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

FOX said in May that "The Inside" would debut on Friday nights in January. The early-2005 date is still the target, but given the fluidity of the network's lineup thus far this season, just where it ends up is anyone's guess.

Friday nights? So we should concentrate on the fluidity thing, huh?
