Are the Inside crimes more than "merely" violent?
Hi, it's a Tim Minear show.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

[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.

If I only had a brain...
But after reading the new pilot script, which features a significantly changed story line, Facinelli asked to be released from the project, sources said.
Okay, that answers my question. You can ask to be released if you don't like the new direction of a show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hi, it's a Tim Minear show.
That's what I figured -- why I asked about "sick twitch" crimes. Are women meeting their quota there, or do we need Affirmative Action?

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
Are you willing to contribute to the cause, ita?

I feel confident in our ability to be just as sick and twisted as the next guy.
Tim might need some convincing.

Oh, I don't question the ability. I'm just wondering about stats.

I'm mainly an ideas person.
But I do have a lot of them.

I didn't do that much research into it. The stats that I did find a few months ago were very basic and didn't break down run-of-the-mill female serial killers from the crack-your-skull-open-and-wear-it-as-a-jaunty-hat female serial killers.
Though that could be a project to fill my time here at work.

All is well that ends in pizza.
It's something like seven or eight percent of serial killers are women, the majority of them being in this country.
Maybe there are more, but they weren't caught due to a patronizing "Women wouldn't do that" attitude that is going away, so it's only apparently a rise...

I think that women serial killers have tended to kill family members -- baby after baby, husband after husband, that sort of thing. And, yeah, that's easy to camouflage under "bad luck" rather than "bad behavior".

There is an interesting statistic here:
They examined 100 cases since 1900 and found an average duration of 8 years before being caught -- double that of the male serial killer.
