[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.

2.6/4.

And it seems like everyone wants to know about Web's book. It's so much fun!

The evil is this way?

And what does the rating mean?

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

It means nothing. I just feel vindicated that the show is building an audience and the advertising has wound down to just about nil. And yet, still building, and holding.

Sometimes it's worth it, I think, to nurture a risk you love, instead of stomping on it and moving onto even riskier gambles.

The Inside, I am confident, would grow into something solid, a conservative bet, maybe, like a 6 or something close to it. Dependable and good and eventually, Emmy nominated for writing, and for Peter Coyote.

I believe this. I don't think I'm craxy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So, is it NOT cancelled? I've been skimming.

Last night's ep was AWESOME.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fox let the options on the cast go.

Ah.

That means they didn't for sure for sure sign the cast for x number of seasons?

For a while after shooting the 13, my understanding is that a cast will be under contract and can't accept other offers until that contract is over, which happened a week or two ago.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

So, in theory, Fox could do a big Whoopsie! and scramble to try and get the cast to re-sign, correct?

What is even happening?

Yes, in theory. But per Tim, FOX didn't do this very little thing, that is essentially chump change for them, and I got the impression that often, networks do this thing as a matter of course, just in case, so it doesn't bode well. Also, if the cast is smart, they're looking for new gigs, and since they're talented and pretty, they're likely to find them.
