Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

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!

It would not be rash to consider him one of the five best minds in television.
Why didn't anyone ever mention Tim's mom is a TV critic?

Dear god, I need an editor.

Are you writing the BNF essay?

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.

We did talk a little about BNF. It's entirely too painful to write. I think I'll need a few days off from work and a box of Kleenex.

Facing your own craziness hurts like a bitch.

Err.....I know it's the official site, so I don't expect much...I mean, it's bad enough the episode summaries are focused solely on the surface plot and miss all the character stuff, but this is the last line of the summary for "Old Wounds":

"Officers burst in and kill Strong."

Um....no. In fact, that changes the whole point of...sigh. Forget it. But somebody has to tell FOX to tell their website employees to pay more attention.

Dear god, I need an editor whom I don't already owe the world in a Harry and David Basket filled with chocolate.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Just out of curiousity, how does one broach the subject of creating a character with a guest actor in mind when the episode involves said character being a boundary-violating vocal proponent of B&D and becoming a victim of homosexual rape? I'm picturing a "Gee... thanks for thinking of me?" reaction happening there.
