Welcome, Paul!
Here's the silly thing, for me, as the prude who doesn't download shows from that internet thing the kids like so much these days because of all the legal ambiguity and the copyright questions: if there's something that can't be found in any other way, if there's no way for the network/producers/evil demons/whomever a way to make a profit from the episodes, then it seems like there may be fewer problems, for me, in internet downloading. However, if they're being broadcasted somewhere, UnAmerican or UnUnAmerican, and available for the general public and don't depend on leaking or the like, this element is gone and again it's more problematic.
Now I've managed to confuse myself. Sigh. Posting about food was easier.
Well being an unAmerican I have no problem downloading US tv, infact I watch far more on my computer than I do on tv. If not for such tactics I would never have seen The Inside and would've had to wait months/years for Firefly and Wonderfalls (as well as all the shows I'm currently watching, many of which I'd never be able to watch, such as Veronica Mars as it's shown at 6 every day on a stupid channel over here.) I tend to buy all the shows I love on dvd anyway so that helps ease my conscience. In fact I imported Firefly from the US on the day of it's release before I even had a dvd player, also imported Wonderfalls but that'll probably never get a dvd release over here anyway.
ITV 4 do indeed plan to air all the episodes, Paul. Ta for heads up.
What does "24-a-like" mean? Cuz I'm tempted to think it means they think The Inside is similar somehow to the show 24. And, if so, in what way? Not that I have seen 24, but from what I have heard, nuh-uh.
I've seen 24. I'd say the main similarity is men with gravelly sexy voices. Not sure that's what they meant, though.
They both have people who work for the government and go places, right? They're practically clones!
I saw over on Whedonesque that the Inside it going to air in the UK.
It's so nice to see that Minearverse is the new Natter. Especially since Minearverse is the only one I have a prayer of even thinking of keeping up with. To let you know how much I'm keeping up with Minearverse, I still haven't finished squeeing about Kristen.
I'm looking forward to the future where we can have "The Kristenverse."
Totally wrod.
We (it was Allyson's idear) sent Kristen flowers today. That was good. I hope she wins. But whatever, it proves that she's got a spec that will rise to the tops of desks no matter what.
Can we please say "non-American" rather than "un-American?" I feel like ya'll are testifying before a senate subcommittee.
