Don't think there's any reason to whimper.
Tim took his time, he reshot scenes on the pilot so that it would be perfect, and I guess if I could speculate (I have no actual knowledge, me = stupid) it would seem that the higher ups at the network have really let him take his time to craft this, which leads me to believe that they really believe in it.
So, I don't know what will happen. Maybe it will launch in the Summer, maybe it will launch in the Fall.
I do wish that they'd leak a little tiny bit about the series, at least launch the site, get people good and buzzy about it. But if they're going to launch in the Fall, that would be premature, I think.
I don't know, I'm just talking bullshit instead of admitting that I have no real information.
Have a cupcake instead.
Thank you.
t feels better
I sound like one of those snotty, know-it-all fangurls that everyone hates, don't I?
Will stop now.
No, no. We all wish we had more information.
Allyson, maybe if you were talking to people who didn't know you, know you're not that, and who respect your credibility. Don't do that to yourself, here.

no.
a cupcake sounds good, but I had a slurpee instead.
I can't be fatalistic about a show that hasn't started. I've already dropped the recording of 3 shows so far this season, so my guess is that sometyhing strong will be able to pull a good audience.
I think the fatalistic feelings are all about FOX reaping what they have sown, in terms of audience confidence.
However, when fans get all, "oh, so this will be canceled, then," it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I don't see how an "In Development" or "Coming Soon" page could possibly hurt them. The worst it could do is get a few people looking forward to the show possibly leading to some free word-of-mouth publicity. As long as it doesn't look like the Point Pleasant page, which is just pointless and annoying.
I would really adore a production diary on the site, too. That's something that can be done now. Still, I understand waiting for an airdate before anything happens.
I'm just really itching to discuss the show, I miss the sort of meaty Buffy/Angel discussions of olde. This show will inspire them, and I'm all about the escapism.
Think of it this way, Betsy -- you could hate it. So no use doing the work ahead of time.
