msbelle, is any of them pink? Do you have my address? Could this be any more off-topic? Could I make myself go home already?
Also thank you!
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
none of it is pink. I already have your address. This is on topic because the stuff for you is INSIDE the box and because I would've never met you met you if Allyson and Kristen hadn't been talking one night and then if it hadn't been mentioned while Tim was around and if he hadn;t said, "hey, let me really generous for this awesome Nilly, chic."
So yeah, you are always on topic.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Psst, Kevin "As you?ve seen the series come from conception to the finished product,"... perhaps you might like to fix the ? where the ' should be?

Dear Santa Tim,
My request is mulitifold. I'd like a new pony. Or a used but not yet broken pony would be fine to.
Also, I'd like for you to help pay for msbelle to come visit me so she can help me install our ceiling fan.
Also, an ice cream cone.
Thanks so much. I've been a good girl this year. Mostly.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Silly people.
I just want someone, in the second Firefly movie, to say they are going to "Nilly that link on the Cortex."

This is the best of the wishes by far.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm with Kiba on this. There really oughta be someone asking for a "Nilly" on a link. It would make me laugh and cry and scream a girly fannish scream. It would also make me happy.

Kat, I'm pretty sure you'd want the pony already broken. Unless you're planning a second career in rodeo...

Tim Minear:
It's interesting, and maybe after things air we can discuss, but the three I picked to go first were not at all the first three written or produced. I know, I know, you're all thinking "that damn FOX!, airing out of order!" It's me. Not them. I wanted what I thought were strong episodes that represented the tone up front. And there are some continuity things I was careful not to disturb. But if I'd aired strictly as written, she wouldn't have been in peril in the second episode, for instance. But, much as I like that episode (and the network loved it, so they wouldn't have minded it being 2nd and not 4th), I didn't feel it quite represented what the show was as well as say, Pre-Filer or even Old Wounds, which I am running 2nd.
Is the reshuffled episode order your preferred order even for the eventual DVD set or is it just the optimal order for the initial television run to hook viewers?
We did a table read yesterday with the cast for the network and studio bigs. Went great. And Alexis Denisof was a dear friend to come in and read the role of Web (has yet to be cast) for us at the read. He's a couple decades too young for the part, but he was superb and I'm so grateful for the favor. I sent him booze.If Fox picks up the back nine (fingers crossed), would you consider introducing a reoccuring role for Alexis?

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 keep reading reviews of The Inside where critics pan it for being needlessly gory.
And I'm thinking the appropriate metaphor is that it's like standing up on a table in a high school cafeteria and yelling, "FIGHT!"
Or maybe running into a diner and screaming, "Oh my god, a naked woman is go go dancing in a cage in the window of the Tru Value!"
I mean, we all have to look.
I was just thinking about the criticism, and I'm not sure if I don't get it because I know what the intent is or because I know those issues will be answered, but I can't say that I agree.
There's this thing about Rachel getting tied to the railroad tracks a lot, and yeah, that happens, but the cool thing is, with both hands tied behind her back she doesn't lose it. She's in control.
I just find the show as written so beautiful and funny, and terrifying, that I'm really confused by the critics. "It's like Silence of the Lambs and Seven. So you shouldn't watch it."
Huh?
I really do wish Jessica had seen the review DVDs, because maybe she could explain it to me. Maybe I'm blinded. I know my love for Minear didn't make me love Firefly, and my love for Minear didn't make me unwary of Wonderfalls, so I don't think I'm blinded by the love. I just think the critics are wrong, here. Or maybe it doesn't play the way it plays in my head when I read it.
I just love it so.
