Why the guilt, Matt?

I dunno, really. I felt no twinges of it about busting on Angel Season 3, but then again I already had a long history as a viewer of the show and was deeply invested when it temporarily went south. Maybe since the specific episodes of that show that made me see red didn't have Tim's writing credit on them, it's the feeling that I was being critical of his creative writing work on "Karma Chameleon" rather than stuff he was overseeing as the big boss.

I was thinking about The Inside and Wonderfalls and TMIAHM, and wondering if maybe I couldn't be entirely objective about my love for those projects

I rarely completely dislike Tim's work. I'll dislike specific things, which can be minor (But why does he have a yellow pen?) or not minor (simulated bliss? WTF?), but usually I like the thing as a whole. I'm not sure if it's because a) the things that Tim finds interesting when telling a story are the same things I find interesting, b) I like Tim and am, therefore, predisposed towards liking his stuff, or c) I'm a suck up. Maybe it's a combo.

I've always felt slightly guilty that one of Tim's episodes of Wonderfalls was my least favorite.

By the time we got to Wonderfalls, I stopped looking at the credits. I think Tim had a major hand in pretty much everything but two.

Did he just do a bit of tightening up after the fact on "Wax Lion"? I may be in error, but I always felt that Bryan Fuller's voice was the predominant one in the pilot.

The pilot was one of the two I was referring to. I can't remember the name of the other one now.

Sing Andrew Lloyd Webber, Allyson, and dearly as I love you, we cross swords.

Aw, come on. Joseph is fun Lloyd Webber! Except maybe for "Close Every Door." It's Biblical history and a show all in one!

Profit is so so so good.

That is all.

For me, I'm pretty sure it's a, with a bit of d) even when our interests don't coincide the writing is so damn good that I don't care. I can't really verify this on later shows, but I can through Firefly, because I had no idea who Tim was when I first saw him, and only realized later that he was the writer of a good portion of my faves. Also, there are a few of his eps on various shows that I didn't like as well. I liked them, but didn't love them. I figure, anyone who can create eps like OoG or AYNOHYEB can throw out a few average eps without losing too much cred.

Oh, and as I re-read the writer worship that is in this post, I realize that the sucking up thing may have started to come into play with me too. But not until after Firefly.

I have worked out my dreamcast for Moon. I will never work in casting.

My dream director is David Fincher. Spike Jonze is also on the list. After that, Wes Anderson.
