[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.

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

It's not like he hasn't done it before, though.

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

I know not the answer, and refuse to take seriously the question.
I believe sentences like that are why we love you so much.
ETA: Swap out "love" for "fear and respect" if it works better for you.

It must be a great show if it gets Allyson to channel a Jedi master.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Lucas should've had us writing for him.

Okay, that's just neat. Yay, Popgurls!

[Re making a 13 episode arc that feels like a whole story, in case of the unspeakable...]
I'm going to pull an answer out of my non-authoritative arse and say yes. I think Tim respects his potential audience and existing fans.

There's a brainstem in a jar of formaldehyde somewhere that Lucas should have hired to write for him.
Back to The Inside, I've been thinking, because so many people have been talking about "procedurals" and how this is another "procedural."
I get that. There's a procedural aspect the way that Angel, or Buffy was procedural. Crime to be solved. Scooby Doo was procedural.
But I've read four of these, and it's a suspense/thriller. Should be marketed as such. It's scary with moments of funny, eerie, watch from the hallway moments. Lots of tension.
I hope it's not marketed as Another Cop Show. That would be wrong.
I think. I don't know if Tim agrees. But that's how the show plays out in my head.
