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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I do not know what Tim has delivered, beyond the teasers.

Teasers are crafted by the network, in ways that horrify the creators.

I am just giving my honest appraisal based on the teasers. There may be some congruent appraisal among the great unwashed, or there may not.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am just giving my honest appraisal based on the teasers.

Which is fine, but I'm going to have to bust your logic. Tim is not responsible for teasers. You expect more from Tim. Tim has probably delivered that something more (or so I believe) but we can't really tell one way or the other from the teasers.

So, your expectation is based on something Tim didn't do. You should be snarking at the network teaser-maker-people.

Mind, Tim has taken his fair share of criticism here and with good grace. Ahh, how well I remember the snarking over he got over "Billy." It's not like a criticism free zone.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ahh, how well I remember the snarking over he got over "Billy."

I really like "Billy."

I'm just saying.

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 remember Firefly marketed as a zany romp through space with Smashbox's Walkin' On the Sun as the background music.

I do however think that some of the ads have been pretty good.

I am not snarking at anyone.

I am relating my experience from the teasers.

For the record: Tim is the real deal, by my lights.

He gives a fuck. I know this.

I think the recent ones have been intriguing.

But I think I'm a Katie Finneran loyalist now anyway.

Well, there's your problem right there.

He's very generous. He might give a fuck.

Say it, don't spray it, babe.

And while you're saying it, give me an update on Seamus, your girlfriend, and the Drug Replicator device you were working on.

Also, any new kites in your collection.

You do not care about any of that crap. The fact that my goilfiriend is almost as purty as yours and that I have a really incredible number of cooler kites than you do is immaterial.

The Drug Replicator, however, continues to be cooler than kites.
