"Silence of the Lambs meets X-Files." "Parallels to Wizard of Oz."
That's good stuff. I'm still trying to wrap my head around those. I think it's more the antithesis of Wizard of Oz. Unlike the Tin Man, Paul doesn't need a heart he has the heart. Danny doesn't need courage he is the courage. If Rebecca is Dorothy that makes Melody the Scarecrow which must mean she's incredibly smart. Oz was not as all powerful as purported where Web most likely is.
I see some X-File parallels, aside from the obvious FBI thing. Web seems to be CSMish. Mel looks like Scully anyway. Maybe she'll prove to be the skeptic who questions. I have a personal theory that Paul is so protective because something happened to a family member that he feels he should have prevented like Mulder and his sister.
Wow. I don't think I've posted anything so geek-like since my early Bronze days.
Also got some skinny on Adam Baldwin and Peter Coyote, yes, they do debate a lot, though very calmly and articulately, and bring each other books to read all the time.
Oh, I bet. Coyote was/is something of an activist, right?
One day I plan to put a member of the NRI, Joss Whedon, Adam Baldwin and Adam Tudyk in the same room. And then run away.
One day I also plan to write a book, though, and that has similar chances of happening.
Unrelated news: as we all knew, Sci-Fi have picked up Firefly. What I didn't know is that they appear to have accquired the TV rights to Firefly from 20th Century Fox - which appears to mean Universal (who own Sci-fi) now own Firefly full stop, I'd presume.
Of course, Uncle Joss is on other good ventures now, but it is kinda curious.
Kevin, that's probably info for the Firefly thread. Though not out of place here, either. Just more in place there as the place folks go for Firefly info.
This is very true. I haven't invested enough time investigating these forums (I still haven't bothered to look how to quote) so I apologise.
Links, people, links

www.fox.com/theinside/video/index.asp (re The Inside).
ETA: I will be sensible and go to bed this time instead of waiting up all night The Inside to go online. I bid you all goodnight, and many waffles.
Tim, could you please kill Pamela Anderson in an upcoming show? Or out of it, I'm not picky.
