I love procedurals. CSI used to be one, in my estimation, NSM now. Waking the Dead is kinda one, I feel.

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.

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

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
There's also the Sin City noir aspect of it all.
Gah, I'm sorry for the constant shilling.
I'd love to do character descriptions and such, but I don't think that'd be okay. And I heard FOX was a little weirded out by my set report.
I'm thinking lately that I'm too invested. I explained to Kristen last night that we're usually jumping into promotion and such when the coffin nails are being hammered, and I'd rather gather the masses at the beginning if at all possible.
But you know, I just sound like craxyfen. Or a sycophant.
My head hurts.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
don't apologize for the shilling. I am excited for the show and happy to hear about it even a little bit.

Okay, but let me know if I get eyerolly about it all.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
But you know, I just sound like craxyfen. Or a sycophant.
That's ok, I don't know what either of those words mean. Stupid three syllable words.
Hmmm, noir. A genre overdue for a comeback. I'd like to see a contemporary noir type deal. That's really peaked my interest. Does that mean there's some narration? "The best view in LA, unless you're dead." More like Dragnet meets Silence of the Lambs.
Ok if it's not that, that would make a cool show. Then again I watched Ed O'Neil's Dragnet.

allyson, I have a Tivo wishlist for Inside, I'm so excited. keep up the hype.

So if the Inside does not take that sterile scientific approach
Yeah. It's a lot of things. Sterile, not one of them.

Gah, I'm sorry for the constant shilling.
Shilling is good. Keep up the shilling. All the Seven references are freaking me out, though, cause I hated Seven and fully plan on loving this. I did like Silence of the Lambs. I'm not sure what the difference was for me. Probably the writing, which is where I counting on Tim excelling and saving The Insider for me. Both Seven and Silence were dark and kind of gross. But I think the writing was much better on Silence.

The Insider
See, this is why we need to change the name to Southland.
Notice I said, "we" like I work there? Craxyfen, I am.
