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.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

From upthread:

They'd raised $3M in pledges last I read.

Which was pledged by a couple of spaceflight related companies.

Hey! Why don’t the chick campaigns get space-company contributions! I call BS on that shiznit right there, yo.

"The final episode is ... appalling."

I believe I previously mentioned that they could have replaced current episodes with a placard reading FUCK YOU FOR WATCHING. REGARDS, THE MGMT.

See but they brought in Manny Coto (created & wrote most of Odyssey 5, short-lived but IMO pretty good Showtime sci-fi effort) and I actually thought it got noticeably better. Of course, it couldn’t get much worse - and I never really watched it before - but the BF is really liking this season.

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

Oh dear god. I just read another script for The Inside.

Our boy may just win an Emmy. I wonder if he'll bring his mom to the awards.

Hm. Hm. So, it's like if The Smoking Man, John McLean, Ellen Ripley, and that scene where Angel is all calm and cool and then SMOTHERS THE FUCK OUT OF WESLEY with a pillow were all baked in a Cooks Illustrator buttery flaky pie crust and topped with a dollop of that scene in the XFiles when Mulder pulls his gun in a state of panic on a duck, and says he still wants to shoot it.

But really, am not doing it justice.

I wonder if I'm very, very quiet and promise to be good if he'll let me watch them film some of it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Our boy may just win an Emmy.

Now if we could just get them to actually broadcast it so he's eligible.

DX, why do you always have the crazy plans?

I've got my fingers crossed for a big Fall premiere.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

That would be shiny!

However, Fox just cancelled Jonny Zero (and was there ever a more appropriate title?) so the Friday night at 9 slot is open.

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

Huh. They were still advertising it yesterday.

NO! No deathslot programming! I won't allow it!

Now if I could just back that up. Le sigh
