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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, that'll work. Thanks, Tim.
That little re-enactment was one of my favorite scenes in this episode, Web's eyes twinkling with evil mischief. The "judge/don't judge" conversation between Paul and Rebecca was the other.

I don't know which I love more, all the spicey, analytical brains on display, or the fact that there's a show that's really engaging them.
Oh hell, why choose - I love em both.
My take on Rebecca's freakout is that she's testing some of her own limits, and, because of the work, is getting into areas where she's never been before, so she doesn't know what's going to trip her switch. So to speak. Also, Hi Tim!

Now tagless for your comfort.
While I didn't read the character as closeted gay in a general, I think it was pretty clear that he became erotically fixated on Brandt and that led to his desire to punish him.
That's my take, too.

Interesting. I'm reading the comments over at TWOP and it is like they saw an entirely different show.
I'm somewhat liking the show, but it is a struggle for me to grasp the subtleties of it. I feel like there is a lot going on, but it is difficult for me to discover all the nuances.

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
From Mediaweek:
The Inside (Fox) Overnights: 2.9/ 5 (#4); Viewers: 3.88 million (#4); A18-49: 1.6/ 5 (#4)
... Fox’s The Inside, which debuted last Wednesday with an already marginal 3.8/ 6 in the overnights, 4.79 million viewers and a 2.0/ 6 among adults 18-49 nationally, was down by double-digit percentages in week two. As a reminder, total viewers and adults 18-49 for last night are based on the fast affiliate ratings.
I need to go throw up.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
On the plus side, it's still 4th, and only lost under a million.
On the down side... D'oh.
Did something else gain a fair amount?
Zap2It lists The Inside as it's number 1 search term, also. Google has still failed to index TI.org, which has pretty much restricted my grasp on how popular the web population has been for it, since Google accounts for most of the traffic from search engines.

A major understatement. I took a glance over there and the vitriol is spewing rather heavily. Even the people who don't hate it aren't showing a lot of enthusiasm for it. I don't get it.
