Ah.

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

[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.

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

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I don't know if anybody else has noticed yet, but the next episode appears to have been leaked online.
Edit: No, actually, it hasn't. I am just unbelievably stupid. Next I'll be reviewing that Buffy episode by Tim Minnear again.

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
oops,forgot to describe. The story is about how The Inside is another radical liberal politics show.
So odd.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
The first episode shows every sign of continuing in Whedon's tradition of producing TV fiction that is not just liberal, but radical in its political sensibilities, though with a minimum of overt politics.
t scratching my head.

I couldn't finish the article. After the 12th mention of Joss and Buffy, my eyes just glazed over.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Casting an issue as red-state or blue-state is so tired.
It is a television show. If West Wing cannot elect a President, there isn't much to worry about on either side.
