Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Lost in Transcription.
It looks great, shrift. Much better than as I typed it. It inspires me to get going on part 2. This week has just been a tad too computer-intensive and migrainey already, but I should have it next week.
I noticed that you have stuff centered and no italics. I'll switch my formatting to that, unless I hear otherwise.
Thanks Daniel. I had seen that page, but not recently. It leads me to think that I should not worry about the centering, but should capitalize character names. Of course, I suppose I could discuss this with shrift and beathen off-board, to avoid boring the rest of you. Perhaps that's what I'll do next time.
Talking about it here increases the chances that random people will know it is being done, so I personally have no trouble with it.
Other poster's milage may vary....

Thanks! And -- no worries about formatting, yeah? I simply formatted it to look more like a script. Upon a casual glance, it makes the dialogue easy to discern from action.
It's clean. It's simple. It didn't take me very long at all. Y'all are doing the hard part, and believe me, I know it, as I've transcribed many an episode.
BTW, I have some people offering to help with the transcribing. Will e-mail.
Just watched The Moth. Aw Charlie. Do you think if I explained politely to Dominic Monaghan that I'm in love with him and all his works that he might let me touch him? Yes? What's that? Restraining order, you say? Oh well.
oh, good, i see that someone is doing LOST transcripts.
that will come in handy in the future...having actual
dialogue to back up arguments debate
points = good thing. *g*
also wavies to tiggy
hey there, halfrek! good to see you here.
oh and no need to bold things here. *smooooch*
This week's Entertainment Weekly has a cover story on Lost. Spoilerphobes should avoid the opening paragraph, as it describes a scene being filmed we haven't seen yet, and the last paragraph, which, apparently, is chockfull of spoilers (though they at least warned us before that one.)
Choice quote, from J.J. Abrams:
"I see the top 10 list and I see Lost is there and it looks like something that a friend would mock up just to hurt me."
This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly is a big Lostapalooza. It's got a cover photo of Fox and Lilly and a 3-page article. There are spoilers though: A significant-ish plot-point in the first few paragraphs for an upcoming episode (I'd say about 3.5 - 4 in the HSQ-meter if 10 is "HOLY SHIT! Locke used to be paralyzed!" and 1 is "Kate kind of has a thing for Jack".) Plus, there are a few discreet spoilerish items in the second to last paragraph in the article, marked as such in the first sentence.
A non-spoilery excerpt:
Armed with a first-class $11 million-plus budget for the two-hour pilot, the producers had no intention of flying under the radar. To pull off the fiery opening-scene crash, they bought a Lockheed L-1011 jumbo jet, chopped it into pieces, drove it to Oakland, then sent it via ship to Hawaii (total cost: $1 million-plus). "While we were shooting the pilot, we'd look at each other and be like, 'Best show ever!' chuckles Lindelof. "We'd be launching polar bears into the sky, and there was a plane and we've got people running from the explosion. It was just like, 'We're having way too much fun doing it for anyone to ever want to watch it in a million years.' There was a sense of fatalism."
Aw. Lindelof is so enthusiastic and cute.
ETA: x-posty with P-C! Must be that brain-share thing.
