I don't think I've seen OoG for over a month, perhaps two or three. I'm slipping, and will have to remedy that. But, unfortunately, probably not tonight.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

[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.

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

There's like two Rachels and a Rachelle there, but I think we know which one you mean.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Cranberry found a great interview with Bryan Fuller, in which he talks a lot about Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me, as well as his new projects. The site isn't work-safe, though, as it's sorta porny.
The relevant bit for the Timsters:
I learned a lot from Tim in terms of story structure and just how to run a show, like working with the writers and doing rewrites. There is a lot that I learned from him that I’m walking away from Wonderfalls with so I’m eager to apply a lot of those things on the next show.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
Hee, he sent me the link, actually, saying "this is an interview I did with a porn site!" It is a pretty good article. I thought it was interesting that he made some of his Dead Like Me gripes public.
We've also both been interviewed for an article in a Tribune weekly in South Florida (and I think the reporter talked to Caroline, too), although I don't know when that one comes out.

Trust my rage
I liked Bryan before, but I loved him more after reading that interview.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Sci-Fi Wire has a brief article/interview thingy about Tim's work on adapting TMiaHM. [link]

Popbitch pimps for Tim:
New TV we're excited about: Inside starts on Fox in March. It's by Tim Minear (Angel), who calls it "Silence of the Lambs by way of L.A. Confidential".

If I only had a brain...
The light marriages are still there.
I believe he said "line marriages".

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The light marriages are still there.
I think this is supposed to be "line marriages."
The catapult is still there...The idea is this sort of Ferris wheel thing that takes it up over the gravity well and drops to Earth.
Oh, God, no! The lunar catapult is a linear motor. [link] Like a railgun [link] for cargo containers. See also: [link]
Maybe he was thinking of Artsutanov's rotating skyhook. See [link] and [link] But that is a very different launch device than what is used in TMiaHM, and one impossible to protect from attack.
I've given the citizens of Luna ocular 'ident stamps,' which are the equivalent of prisoner tattoos, and Mike finds a way into the personalized signature of people, so he can show himself to you, but no one else can see him. So that's maybe the thing I added.
I don't understand this part. Is he saying Mike will appear to Manny (and the audience), but will be invisible to passers-by?
