Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

[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.

Partyman, you'll be at the Lost party too?

Unless anything Evil happens between now and then, yes.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

He's being sarcastic.

Duh. I should have picked that up within reading the first two sentances.

Show not quirky. Show scary.

So you've seen it already? And it can't be both?

"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

To be fair Frank, since Allyson's (and Kristen's) knowledge about the show comes directly from Tim it's probably more complete and accurate than that possessed by anyone outside the production itself.

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

Well, she's said it's something like L.A. Confidential meets Silence of the Lambs, and central to the series is an existential battle for the main character's soul, so really not striking me as quirky so far.

(My WF DVDs have shipped!)

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

Read the pilot and saw some dailies. It's creepy and scary, has twisted gallows humor. There's really no quirk.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

twisted gallows humor

Well, it is Tim Minear. Of course it has twisted gallows humor. I'd be upset if it didn't.

Oy, but is it too twisted for Fox?

Okay, now that does sound like a best-selling DVD: Too Twisted for Fox!

Bryan Fuller on sci wire. Some spoilers. But I no longer remember which episodes aired and which didn't. Did Safety Canary air? There is a spoiler for that one.
