'Just Rewards (2)'
[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.
Dude. So weird. The second season premiere of Tru Calling? Good!
There's good character conflict, it's less formulaic, there's less rewind filler, there's already the beginnings of an arc. It's such an improvement.
I was wishing for its demise before, but now I'm very interested in seeing the rest of the filmed episodes, and I probably would have watched the second season without feeling as dirty. I mean, it's no Wonderfalls, but I bet it's better than Point Pleasant.

Thank you, Cranberry. I'll get around to e-mailing selina eventually. Sorry to bug you about it here.
I can't understand it either. for the past couple of weeks i've been pimping the hell out of it. if it gets canned it will be akin to the heartbreak i felt when Wonderfalls was cancelled.
If Veronica Mars gets cancelled after this season, I'll be much sadder than when Wonderfalls was cancelled. Don't get me wrong, I loved and adored Wonderfalls, but VM has got me more interested than any show since Buffy. Even Firefly didn't grab me as much.
I can't watch Veronica Mars. It does nothing for me.
From Zap2it:
THE INSIDE (FOX) - Writer/producer Craig Silverstein ("The Dead Zone," "The Invisible Man") has inked a two-year, seven-figure overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television. As part of the pact, Silverstein will serve as a co-executive producer on FOX's midseason drama "The Inside" as well as develop new projects for the studio. Silverstein is also working on a drama project for NBC entitled "Fables" (no details of which were available) separate from the 20th deal.
I watch VM for a couple specific reasons. I don't respect myself much for that.
Re: Point Pleasant.
Y'know what Point Pleasant brings to mind? All those commentaries where the writers point out a scene Joss rewrote for them when they got stuck. Even brought to mind "Out of Gas," when Tim said Joss wanted another shot of the button, and got it--and was right to want it.
Guess I'm saying that somebody had to have the final word, and when it was Joss it made everybody look good.
Yeah. In every example I've heard, the Joss addition was just the perfect thing - and usually one of the best lines, scenes, etc. of the episode. It just makes me feel even more what I always thought about the Magic=Crack storyline - if Joss had been around more, it might not have gone down the way it did. I could even see how Innocence/Surprise might have been godawful if Joss wasn't steering the ship.
