Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Yes, but I don't think he really looks like Peter Facinelli in that picture.

And I really have no idea who Jay Harrington is, so I was confused for a bit. But then I saw lockers, and the word "original" finally clicked for me.

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

Zap2it's Midseason Predictions

Anyone know where I can snag a copy of the pilot?

Why would you even want one?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

FOX seems to enjoy tearing out Minear's still-beating heart (see "Wonderfalls" and "Firefly"). Either way, it's probably doomed, but in the most noble way possible.

aw. so sad and mean. If Tim ever needed a cheerleader, I'd be one for the new show. I mean literally. Not on the show.

Ahem. Unclearness between brain and fingers. I best go back to writing about Chaucer.

I'm just putting my hands over my ears and going, "la la la la la la la la."

Kristen is likely to get in the first punch, but when i read stuff like that, I want to kick the shit out of the writer. It's oddly maternal, like someone just picked on my kid.

I need therapy, obviously.

Well, I suspect when it airs is going to be VERY telling on what Fox thinks about it.

Sadly for Point Pleasant, I think it'd likely replace that. Not that I like Point Pleasant or think it's good, but I like the people working on it and will be sad for them. If it even lasts through to March.

I'd love to see a grid all laid out and completely redo their schedule in a way that makes sense (to me).

Because I am SO ARROGANT.

This is why I go, "la la la la la la la la." Curbs the overprotective impulses.

Either way, it's probably doomed, but in the most noble way possible.

See, I don't get this attitude, I can't get it. If you think it's going to be good (and it seems like the person who wrote the prediction definitely thinks so), then why not just say "watch it so that it wouldn't suffer the fate of the other good shows?". It's not like there's *nothing* good that remains on TV, right? I know I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to USA TV, and that there are a lot of bad shows out there, but still.

The way I see it, an attitude like this will guarantee doomness, and everybody loses, especially the viewers, us. An attitude of "let's try to make the fate of this one different" may at least have a chance of having good results - what's to lose?

Please take into consideration, it's the middle of the night here and I'm hopelessly naive even when I'm not half asleep.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Point Pleasant has improved a little. But probably not enough to make a big difference in ratings in the next few weeks.

I'd love to see a grid all laid out and completely redo their schedule in a way that makes sense (to me).

I'm good with leaving this up to Allyson. How do we get her hired to do this?
