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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Anne, I still like CSI, but I flat out refuse to watch Miami and NY is good sometimes, but it bores me about half the time.

Cold Case feels very rote to me. I watch it because I'll watch nearly any crime show (note: CSI Miami comment above), but I prefer Charmed on Sundays at 8 than Cold Case.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Heh. I probably should have thrown a few more "in my opinions" in my CSI rant up above. My big beef with it is that I don't like where they've taken some of the characters. I currently feel about Catherine the way I felt about S6/S7 Spike--that they took an interesting character and screwed up what was a really interesting arc. Again, just my opinion.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm getting excited now. And I've stopped following this thread...but it sounds like Minear wrote me a show. And we've hardly talked at all(blush) If I like it, I'll put you on my friends-list, Tim.;)

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

Is there a referrer program for The Inside? If I tempt x amount of people into watching the show, do I get a coupon for a free Blizzard at Dairy Queen?

Kristen is exempt because she's Official Make Minear Look Great Gurl.

Like how I just decided that? Wasn't that AWESOME?

No.

But you do get a free treat from Cold Stone Creamery. Dairy Queen (which I love) is so 70s.

Well, are we talking about FOX putting together the referrer program, or The Tim Minear Fund for Little Wanderer Fans?

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

I think Tim should do it. We gave him his own thread, after all.

Payback time!

What's a good Nielson rating? And when does this thing premiere again?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is there a Who song left that Jerry Bruckheimer hasn't robbed of its dignity?

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

"Pictures of Lilly('s slingbacks)"

I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad

What a great song.

I think Bruckheimer is trying to decide whether to use it for the Joycelyn Elders or the Paul Reubens biopic. Tough choice, too.
