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.

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

The executives at Fox hired Tim Minear to salvage the project. Minear worked his way up the TV ladder as a writer on various shows until he made his mark on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off, Angel. From there he executive produced the critically-lauded Firefly in 2002 before creating Wonderfalls last year. How good is Minear? It would not be rash to consider him one of the five best minds in television.

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

Of course, this begs the question of who the other four are.

It doesn't really beg the question.

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

Davids Simon, Milch and Chase. To start.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

It would not be rash to consider him one of the five best minds in television.

I'd assume you'd need to be currently on air with a show.

David E. Kelley? JJ Abrams? Mark Burnett? Aaron Spelling? Jerry Bruckheimer?

I'd make a case for Glenn Gordon Caron. Although I don't watch "Medium" he also did "Now and Again," "Moonlighting" and "Remington Steele."

"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

Should Rob Thomas go on that list? I'm not a Veronica Mars fan myself, but it's gotten a lot of critical acclaim and generated a lot of buzz for a show that about 3 million people have seen.

Speaking as a smoker who's sensitive to other people's issues with smoke, why not just let them know it's coming in your window? If I knew, I'd find another place to smoke.

Yeah, except they're smoking inside their house, which is kind of their last refuge. Unfortunately for me, smoke drifts, so what they smoke in their living room ends up fuming into my office.

Ahhh. Caught up on the mom/critic thing.

I do enjoy the Medium. Never expected it to, but it's damn entertaining/scary/astute. It's probably not for everyone, but I quite enjoy it.

What is even happening?

jengod, put a fan in your window, blowing outwards. No smoke for you, no hassle with them.

Yeah. If you told me I couldn't smoke inside my house there'd be a problem. It would end with bloodshed.

Should Rob Thomas go on that list?

What about that lady who writes Prime Suspect?
