Dear god, I need an editor.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

What is even happening?
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.

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.

Are you kidding? Most actors love playing anyone who's different in anyway. Serial killer, rapist, mentally challenged, blind, missing a limb, schizophrenic, drugged addicted, Nazi, tormented artist (all at once and you're guaranteed some kind of nomination)...it's all good. It gives them tons of meat from which to create a character, and lots of opportunities for costumes, props, and interesting physicality.

Oh, no argument it was a plum role with lots of great facets for an actor to explore. It's just the "I wrote this character for you!" element that struck me as having awkwardness potential.
