Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

[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.

The evil is this way?

I'd take notes but I figure after the next earthquake all of those places will be somewhere else anyway.

ETA -- Rachel Nichols is on the cover of the TV Week in Sunday's Chicago Tribune. There a reprint of the zap2it article on the series. And a reprint of another zap2it article about Katie Finneran, who is a native of Chicago. Katie said that she signed on because of Tim Minear, who she refers to as "the Noel Coward of television."

Because books.

"There are all manner of sick and twisted deviant behaviors that we can explore for the enjoyment of America."

And that's why we love him. Heh.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Thanks, Kat. I guess I am in The Valley then.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did anyone link to this article before? [link] If so, sorry for the re-post.

And then, something miraculous happened: The executives at Fox hired Tim Minear to salvage the project. [snip] How good is Minear? It would not be rash to consider him one of the five best minds in television.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's a nice article, bon bon, thanks!

From there he executive produced the critically-lauded Firefly in 2002 before creating Wonderfalls last year.

He didn't help create it, did he? I thought Fuller and Holland were the official creators, and Tim helped them make the actual show.

There is the vaguest hint of the supernatural hanging about the show. Not quite Lost, not quite Twin Peaks, not quite The X-Files, there are, nonetheless, larger forces at work in Virgil Webster's office. Let's hope The Inside survives so that we can find out what they are.

OMG Web is Satan!

Why didn't anyone ever mention Tim's mom is a TV critic?

No, I interviewed Rachel, Tim, and did a set visit, so I'm bursting at the seams with material for a piece on The Inside.

It's an unweildy bastard.
