[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.
CC'd from my post in Bureaucracy.
So maybe we should just re-purpose Lovesick, My Ass for Wonderfalls DVDs for a while, then fold the thing and kick everyone into Minearverse.
I mean, discussion of the unaired eps is already in LMA, so why not go with it.
Just a suggestion, as it never really got that much traffic after December, and it's a shame to close it under 1000 posts....
Just a note, I'll bet Bureaucracy is the wrong place to post it, as I invariably post in the wrong admin thread.
No, that's the right one.
I got my Wonderfalls dvds today! There's a chance I am more excited by this than I should be, but considering that the next most exciting thing to happen to me today was having all of the elevators at work operational for the first time in a month, maybe not.
"There isn't a lot of science fiction on TV right now, and people are trying to capitalize on that."
No shit.

So, I'm torn between wanting to pace myself with the new 'sodes or to tear them open like a three year old at Christmas.
I ripped 'em open a had a WF blitz. I watched all episodes over the last two evenings after work. I miss it!
And FWIW, I would think that as a "normal" person who didn't obsessively follow writers from show to show (and they tell me there are a lot of those kind of people out there, who knew?), I'd be more inclined to try to check the show out after reading your column.
I don't stalk the writers to each and every show. Well, maybe a little.
But a good writer can make anything interesting.
This is why I stalk. (Wait, not stalk. Follow. Yeah...follow.)
Heh. It makes me laugh that Spotzy is reviving "The Night Stalker", because Chris Carter used to bring that show up constantly as his old-time favorite, and a strong influence on his storytelling on "The X-Files" to boot.
"Briar & Graves," a project for its Fox corporate sibling, in which a priest and a female doctor investigate unexplained spiritual phenomena.
Huh. Wasn't there supposed to be a show in which a nun and a scientist teamed up to investigate spiritual phenomena? With Bill Pulman and Natasha Mc-whassoname? This sounds like a retooling of that show.
I'm wondering if the folks who so desperately wanted to save Miracles suffered head explosions in unison.
As one of the folks who desperately wanted to save Miracles, yes.
