OOOH! I just got to see a promo for The Inside. Shiny.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Either way, Dominic Purcell is pretty.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw the promo during The O.C. Good stuff.

I want to see the show already.
And who is Dominic Purcell? Is he the pretty one in the Prison Break promos?

Kristen, I glimpsed your tag earlier and thought that's what it was. They should do some sort of demographics on that. I wonder how the belief in ghosts/belief in God breaks down in terms of age. And how that might differ from talking to ghosts/talking to God.

If I only had a brain...
I watched Buffy happily enough without ever believing in vampires.

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 still need someone to explain Prison Break to me. This seems like a harder concept to maintain over multiple seasons than 24 was.
After reading the press release my first thought is, "Multiple seasons? I'm not sure how they can sustain it for an episode." How does getting himself locked up help? If he needs to be inside wouldn't it be better to get a job as a guard or a janitor or something? And if that sounds implausible consider that the option they've decided to go with is 1) commit a crime, 2) work out a plea bargain to get sent to the same prison as your brother (that would be the plan, right? Because otherwise there'd be a trial -- time you can't afford to waste -- and you'd have zero leverage in getting sentenced to that facility), 3) work your way into the confidence of the inmates who naturally have lots of important info about the guys on death row, and 4) use your photographic memory to remember the prison blueprints and your structural engineering background to MacGyver your brother out. And that's just getting him out, not clearing him. Whereas if he were a janitor he could work on the inside AND still be able to do whatever could be done to help outside the prison (get supplies, follow leads, etc.) and... it still sounds like a lot of disbelief to suspend. So, no, I can't explain Prison Break.
Then, with the help of his cellmate, Sucre, Michael begins to align himself with a disparate group of prisoners, including... Charles Westmoreland, a man some believe to be the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper.
That said, if they get someone (an Andy Dick cameo perhaps) to Westmoreland, "Are you Doobie Keebler?" I promise I will watch every single episode until it gets cancelled.
