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.

[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.

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!

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

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What a great song.
It is. Let us not forget Entwhistle's entirely evocative French horn solo either.
