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.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

I wasn't aware that Idol was on at 9pm.

The results show was but still you'd think there be a built in audience for a reality show where a British guy abuses people and I'd think that if The Inside took over 24's slot people might assume it was a 24's caliber drama just because of that.

I'm still trying to figure out how Freddie follows George Lopez and leads in Lost.

Network scheduling fascinaties me the same way car wrecks cause people to slow down. Or like when you see someone about to fall and it's too late too warn them or catch them and you just kind of watch and go "there she goooooes. I bet that's gonna leave a mark."

If anyone's interested here's the fall schedule. Looks like Head Cases will take over for The Inside sometime in the Fall.

Hey. New board.

Anchovy-worshiping freak.

How do you know I worship them?? Have you been spying on me?

I may have to seize the cat.

If it's a Tivo, it's already up on the programming guide and you can set a season pass for it

Sadly it's not, it's the cable company's thingy. (Time Warner.)

Also, Allyson, you should listen to Kristen.

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Good old Buffy vet Tim Minear. His mythic tour of duty on Buffy is just never going to die, is it?

Swouncing

I expect a larger, more complicated storyline will eventually shine through

Is there an arc to the 13 episodes? The way "Wonderfalls" had? Or a longer one, like "Angel"?

It's created by Buffy vet Tim Minear, and it retains some of that epic, mystical feeling.

Tim is never going to be able to put his time on BtVS behind him, ha?

[Edit: x-post with JZ. I was wondering how many of us will jump at the BtVS repeated mention. Now I know]

Thanks, Allyson.

The evil is this way?

Tim was the best "BtVS" writer, ever!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Well, I suppose it's better than being permanently mis-associated with According to Jim or somesuch. If you're going to have a writing job inaccurately attributed to you, might as well pick the critical darling/pop culture phenomenon.

There's two small arcs that I can think of. And with that, I need to beat my head against the wall in a fit of financial agony.

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

If they hadn't mentioned Buffy, they probably would've spelled his name wrong.
