Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

I've actually seen it around, but not outside San Fran proper. It's in tabloid format now. And, because I didn't say it earlier, nice column.

The status is NOT quo.

I totally ganked this from Natter, but I thought this quote from Joss' post in Whedonesque needed to go here as well:

Movies: They're hard to make. You have to work for a long time and have a lot of thoughts. And you can't just make Tim do everything for you like before.

Heh.

I saw that too, Kristin. It totally cracked me up.

I haven't seen this discussed anywhere but...

'Profit' is finally coming out on DVD.

Waiting until late summer is going to be difficult. But victory is sweet.

I'll always regard it as a tragedy that David Greenwalt never hired Adrian Pasdar as one of the Wolfram & Hart lawyers.

(Of course, I'm still lamenting the fact that they didn't get Diana Muldaur—complete with Rosalind Shays' elevator cable burns—to play Lilah's replacement rather than Sarah Thompson.)

Profit floored me when I saw it, and yes, we were definitely talking about having Jim Profit show up as a senior partner.

Actually, I've feeling a wee bit peckish...

I'm coming to LA on Wednesday and will be around for a week. Anyone/few people around to grab coffee or something?

I've never been able to get to a F2F, but always wanted to meet some of you as I know there is a strong LA contingent.

Open offer. I'll watch for replies :-)

I'm currently working on some mini biographies for the ME peeps, and im getting increasingly confused about Tim's earlier work, which is such a shock given the amount of avalible interviews and quotes, especially in comparison to Greenwalt (who turned out to be fairly straight foward).

The only stuff ive seen Tim actually mention in interviews pre Angel, is Lois and Clark, X-Files, and Strange World (though im sure i read him mention High Tide somewhere).

The confussion begins with Zorro which TimMinear.Net says he wrote for from 1990 - 1992. US.IMDB lists it as Zorro(1997), whilst TVTome lists it as Zorro(1957). Looks like its just a name mismatch and they both mean Zorro(1990).

Then after a couple of movie credits we hit 1994/95, where on all three sites Tim is credited on both New Zeeland based "High Tide" as co-producer where he writes 9 episodes and Robin's Hoods as Story Editor, which doesnt credit any individual episode writers. Was Tim doubling up or was one of the shows held over from the previous season. I have further confussion because the mini-bio on TVTome mentions this "Early in his career, he was the Story Editor for a season and a half on the syndicated series "High Tide" for which he wrote a number of episodes, under both his own name and the pseudonym Chris Baena.". I've never heard of any pseudonym, but Baena is credited with High Tide all the way to 1997, though he is currently not a member of the WGA.

1995/1996 I have nothing on any site, then 1996/1997 doubling up again, with Lois and Clark and Two, similar situation the next season with Tim Credited on both x-Files and Ghost stories. WGA does list two WGA writers Tim Minear, and a Timothy P. Minear, though the same agency for both suggests its a duplicate, and not another writer who may have confussed researchers on TVTome and Us.IMDB (TM.Net does not list Two or Ghost Stories).

Anyone have any ideas on the right sequence of events.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Sydney, you should post in the F2F thread about your visit. Hope you have a great visit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ocipital, I don't know if Kristen will see it here, but she runs timminear.net, and can be trusted to have all her facts right, and is probably one of the best people (outside the Minear himself) to straighten things up for you.
