See, I would never characterize SotL as "quirky". Eerie, perhaps. Not quirky.
ETA: Though I am about to watch it again so perhaps I will change my mind.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

[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
I was going to say something, but then remembered that I defend Natural Born Killers as morally ambiguous.

Yes, you do. You're quirky that way.

No, I get that. It's a damn scary movie. But some of the things that make it unmistakebly the work of Jonathan Demme also seem to me to be "quirky" touches.
I think if "The Inside" has some of the snarky dialog and characterization of other shows Tim's worked on, compared to, say, CSI, it will be on the quirky side for what it is. Doesn't mean it won't be scary.
I hope Fox is into it. Because I think a lot of shows that have died on their vine did so because they didn't like and support them. I remember "Firefly" and "Wonderfalls" ads, but I don't think they pushed them anywhere near as much as shows they did support.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Did we know Pink Flamingos had been shown two episodes later than it was supposed to be?
Well, we knew "Karma Chameleon" and "Wound-Up Penguin" were written after the other eleven episodes were to introduce/clear up issues for future storylines, and "Pink Flamingos" had a suspiciously great deal of continuity with "Wax Lion." It probably works better directly after the pilot.

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