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.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

[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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"There isn't a lot of science fiction on TV right now, and people are trying to capitalize on that."
No shit.

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

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
As one of the folks who desperately wanted to save Miracles, yes.

"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
Sooo glad that I never got into Miracles enough to get upset over the way it was treated. But I hear it was quite good.
I finally got my Wonderfalls DVDs yesterday. I was too sleepy to do a marathon viewing, so I just reaquainted myself with "Wax Lion." Tonight I plan on enjoying "Pink Flamingos" and "Crime Dog."
I read that latest interview with Bryan Fuller with the info about Sharon's proposed second season storyline and... huh. I know Bryan's openly gay, but did he never bother to learn how the reproductive process actually works? That scenario sounds about as likely as someone getting pregnant because they swam in a pool with boys .

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I saw the link at AICN, and wouldn't let myself check until I finished. I'm up to Safety Canary. I so can't pace myself.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Matt, he did say it was a miracle birth.
