Brian Lowry at Variety isn't too impressed. Though his review isn't near the pan that the onliine guy at TV Guide gave us. Lowry hated Wonderfalls and Firefly -- he seems to hate this less. Is that good or bad? Actually, he seems to think I cribbed from Silence Of The Lambs. And he calls Rachel "the kind of cool blonde Hitchcock would have loved." I still feel like maybe I'm doing something right. But Cranberry's friend makes it possible for me to crank out the last one this weekend.

Is that good or bad?

I dunno. When you were thinking of the show you really wanted to do, were you thinking, "gee, i really want this to be the one Brian Lowry and the TV Guide Guy just love?"

Has Brian Lowry ever liked anything?

And he calls Rachel "the kind of cool blonde Hitchcock would have loved."

This is good.

And you're doing lots of stuff right. It's going to be fabulous.

As a matter of fact, Allyson, yes! I was thinking, "I hope that online guy at TV Guide with the Spike fixation and the name I can't quite recall doesn't think this is a boring baby." Or something.

I do disagree with Cranberry's friend on the coolest line front.

My favorite two lines so far are: "You pulled your gun on a ten-year-old? Awesome!"

And,

"You went to Web's house? Did he have furniture and cereal and stuff?"

As a matter of fact, Allyson, yes!

What about that Tornado Penis guy? Have you thought of his feelings? Did you not get the memo?

Yes, but those lines aren't in the episodes she saw. Mine is still, "I’m done bending over for you."

Finally saw a preview for The Inside while catching up on The Shield on FX. Too short. And really, there's no way a 15 second preview is going to do this show one iota of justice.

Oh, and all you gloaty-gloats who have seen some of the episodes already - you're on my list.

Hey, man, I haven't seen a single episode.

Also, I have no coffee. The Bean is closed. There is yellow caution tape everywhere. They are not answering their phone.

Now I'm gonna have to drive. Damnit.

Java-hording bastards.
