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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I get irrationally angry that it wasn't given a better shot.

Cindy, as usual, is me. Only with more kids and a dead sexy, but doomed hubby.

Hey. New board.

On Wonderfalls, I'm kinda resigned. My experiences in pimping it have been pretty straightforward - the type of people that liked, say, Buffy, generally liked it. The type that didn't, didn't. Based on that, I think it was pretty much always doomed on Fox, which is very sad.

I pimped Wonderfalls to three co-workers. One came back to work the next day and said, "It's brilliant! But you know it's too smart to last, right?" *sigh*

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A friend who still looks askance at me for Buffy ended up watching the first four episodes of Wonderfalls in one evening while visiting me. Her choice. I suggested the first one, and after each one she would say, "Well, we have to watch the next one."

Hey. New board.

Happened to me too. But only with people that I'm convinced WOULD like Buffy if they could get past the vampires.

Why talking animals is better for some people is completely beyond me. But there you go.

Who? moi??

A writer friend of mine (Tad Williams) has both a beagle and a cat. He also writes wickedly horrible monsters.

Wonder if that is the beagle or the cat doing the influence.

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

We sent out review copies with three episodes, The Pilot, Old Wounds, and Pre-Filer

Shit. I got places for to review things. And I'll even be objective. I swear.

Eh. You know I'm just angling to see it. I'm so infuriatingly impatient.

I may have to seize the cat.

Probably the interaction between the two.

If I only had a brain...

We had a beagle when I was growing up, at least till he ran off. Beagle-cat interactions were never a good thing.
