'Why We Fight'
[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.

People can like both movies. Don't worry, I'm just slightly judgemental of Episode 3 from the point of view of, well, that's best discussed elsewhere.
If Fox point the official The Inside site to a Prospero message board I may cry. (I actually typed 'crap' just then, which worries me).
Oh, I know the best sites are fan-based. I tend to hate official sites. But I'd like pictures and things. Maybe an official wallpaper. It would match my Sisterhood of the Traveling pants wallpaper, in that cool way of matching that isn't, really.
The next question: "Is melodrama bad?"
Of course. It's a legitimate genre, and can be just as well-written or directed. See, Sirk, Fassbinder, Haynes.
It's just...juicier. And irony helps. (See, Sirk, Fassbinder...)
The Inside is going to have to come a long way from its teasers toward being a good show before I am sucked in.
I lurves me some Tim, but he teasers are promising more of the same.

See now, I know Tim can write the dialogue and I trust that Katie, Coyote and Baldwin can all deliver the dialogue and there's not much dialogue going on in the teasers. So teasers = promotion for people who don't know all this already. I am presold based on past performance and talent.
It is kind of interesting, though -- most of Tim's other stuff has had a much more out-there premise. So a much bigger barrier to the average person. "A tiny blonde girl kills vampires???" (kidding, kidding) I trust this will be an excellent version of a kind of thing I've seen before, but I'm not going to have to buy into the premise.
I mean, right?
t saves "neo-Brechtian detachment" for a future discussion
Baldwin will trot out the goods. Mr. Coyote seems -- from the teasers -- to be be doing more of the same 4400 stuff.
Do not get me wrong. I will tune in.
Mr. Tim better have brought the dialog, though.
I dunno. Was that Minear guy ever really that good with dialogue?

Well he's no Jane Espenson, but who is.
