You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

What is even happening?

Who Wants to Date My Millionaire Midget Dad makes me yen for the days of Hee Haw.

I feel stupid for asking, but I can't tell if this is an actual show title, or hyperbole. Cashmere?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Although spending so damn much developing a show and then not supporting it is deeply deeply shortsighted and stupid.

I rest my case.

Even the most stable brain operates just a millimeter from madness.

Okey, so, could it be something along the lines of not getting what you thought you asked for? Did that come out right?

I'm think Exorcist: The Beginning. Morgan Creek got Paul Schrader to do it, knew what kind of director he is, had the script, financed it, still acted surprised when they saw the final product and threw it out the window.

Likewise I guess Fox could have thought they were getting a CSI/L&O-clone with TI, and when realizing their mistake started to mistreat it. As usual, since this would be something they have done before.

I don't know. Maybe this is a silly and stupid explenation, but it's the only one I got and it fits with Fox's treatment of our favourite shows.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Last night while I was at work, my roomie apparently watched both eps of the double feature, since she sat in on me watching last week's episode and got her shit all freaked out. She hadn't watched any before that.

She just got home and said "Oh my god! Can you believe?". I thought she meant the Paul stuff and the Web stuff, and she said "No, from the first episode last night. Can you believe she had been kidnapped and held captive for 18 months!?! That was intense. I love that show!"

Poor thing.

Be strong. Believe.

Ok, I'm fairly new to this board (meaning I've been here for a total of two minutes) and I joined because I read Tim's post about Fox "supporting the show," but not extending their options. First of all, let me say that you have the right attitude, Tim. Who cares if Fox wants to cancel the show. You got to spend their money telling a story you wanted to tell. I think that's awesome. I am rather disappointed that they are canceling (or may be canceling) a wonderful program. It's funny, when they showed the promos for "Dancing with the Stars" or whatever the hell that's called, I passed on it in favor of The Inside. I guess I was in the minority. Just so you know, I already sent an email off to Fox in defense of The Inside, so let's hope. I realize I'm just one person, but you never know. Also, I agree with the others in that when the DVD comes out, that commentary be had. Also, many interviews and such with you and the cast. That would be great!

Trust my rage

I am loving this show more and more every week.

First, I loved Allyson's logo. The beagles were so cute! Great job!

I've always sort of liked Paul, but this week made him way more interesting. Also, hotter. Someone mentioned the black shirt upthread and I have to agree.

Was the name of the prison the name of Mahandra's Indian tribe?

I'm all conflicted right now. I'd love to watch this episode again to focus more on the interplay between Paul's storyline and Pope's. I really feel for Paul because life just got a lot harder for him. I probably won't watch it again because I have a hard time with dead babies these days. I just keep telling myself it was a plot point baby not a real baby.

Do we get an episode next week? [eta: I see the answer is yes.] This is getting really good.

Tim, off to FX you go.

Seriously. Even if it is basic cable.

Works for Jon Stewart.

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

Tim should kill Jon Stewart on The Inside.
