They wish the ratings were bigger, of course. But House debuted at about the same place. And they dig the show. They hope it builds. Especially when we get a new lead in later on.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

[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.

I started making my act twos essentially act threesOh, structure talk! What does that make act three?
And really... I would be happier if I'd been surprised, but I also think that if you set up a mystery, some portion of the audience should figure it out. If you're playing fair, anyway. (Few things have delighted me more than guessing right about what Sahjhan was up to, after all.)
But I do still want someone to punch Paul.

Really? I would have figured he'd be the one to wrap himself in the comfort of Doing The Right Thing, whereas the others would be more conflicted about the practical results of putting incipient serial murderers back into circulation.
Ah, posted before seeing your "kidding!" post.

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

Hey! Did you ever light your success candle? Do we need to send you another one? Or ten other ones?

Strega, you figured out Sahjahn's plan?
That's pretty nice work. I have to say.

So this guy that took my blood a couple of weeks ago was talking about his two spaniels, and what with the slow bleeding and all... I thought of Tim.

Web'll probably hire the guy.
It'll be interesting to see his reaction to someone that's better at profiling than he and his team are.

That's what I meant, Matt.
Strega, it makes act threes kinda like act fours with a re-boot in the middle. In other words, the end of act two for me usually turns the story in a new direction, the end of three is jeopardy. If I drag jeopardy to the end of two, but make it story turning jeopardy, that kind of gives the whole second half a new momentum. Or something.
