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

I thought that was stated explicitly.

It was.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

About 300 messages ago, someone mentioned "Prison Break" and "Reunion." I saw the first eps of both shows, and if PB could do a "24" crossover, that show could last for a very long time. In any event, there's a conspiracy at the center of PB (no more further details from me) which might prove to be interesting over several seasons.

"Reunion"...I was entertained by the pilot, but I don't think Fox will be picking up this show for a full season. I would be surprised if large audiences run to this show. It has a couple of plot conceits that feel very "Lace" (you know, the '80s miniseries where Phoebe Cates was trying to find out which woman was her mother?) - (BTW this is an analogy, not one thing to do with actual plot events) and consequently very dated.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I thought that was stated explicitly.

It was.

Ok, I was obviously not paying close enough attention. Sorry.

And yet, somehow, I just can't seem to care. </ "Reunion" joke>

Hey. New board.

I'll be watching Prison Break. I like that guy whose name I'm forgetting far too much not to.

Serious watcher of all nonsensically doomed series produced for television. The Carissa Network would make us all happy.

New to the board - I love The Inside and am very unhappy that Fox hasn't been better to it. However, I also vowed not to get involved with it as I assumed it would be cancelled because Fox cancels all of the shows I enjoy. I may be in the minority, but I loved Tru Calling; also Wonderfalls (not a minority with that one!). Tim Minear being hooked with the Inside as well as Richard Hatem (Tru Calling, Miracles and Mothman Prophecies movie which didn't do well enough in theatres, either) and I knew it was doomed. Which also told me I'd love it. Dammit - the latest two episodes were so good. It was great to have an episode away from Locke, and the next one looks fantastic. Fox has to start trying harder to give shows life. This one has long-term winner written all over it. Thanks for an interesting board, everyon!

I'm halfway through last night's double feature.

Kicks feet and throws tantrum.

This is so not fair.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Welcome Assirac!

I assumed it would be cancelled because Fox cancels all of the shows I enjoy

I assumed this as well which makes it even more important to see it weekly. Fox does have a tendancy to cancel shows I like but so do the other networks (Eyes on ABC).

Each weeks episodes keep getting better and better. I wasn't sure of whether I would like the show or not, but now I definately like it.

I don't think anyone really cares as long as it works.

Paul had to come back at the end of the episode to make the last scene work, I know that. But I would've liked an episode with Rebecca working with Danny and Mel on a case without having Paul around as a safety net.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Last night's eps were, IMnotsoveryHO, by far the best yet. I lovedlovedloved the first one, especially since it seemed to address some of my concerns about this being The Rebecca Show. The more I see of Mel and Danny, the more I love them. And, as my friend put it, the twists seemed real, not just there to be twisty.

I was a little worried about the second one, because it sounded less intriguing going into it. Then I saw that it was co-written by our Tim, and the tension went way up. It had to be good, yet I wasn't sure that it would be. Oh, me of little faith. I should have known Tim would come through! The Inside love has grown slowly with me, but I'm glad I stuck it through, because these eps alone were worth it, and now I am dying to see what they do with Web.
