What is even happening?
I matched Joss to Haiku; Tim to beard; Rogers to Pacino, by default, although Joss could have said the beard thing. I just couldn't hear anyone else saying the haiku thing.

Apparently, I need to learn more about this fabled Warren Ellis.The most important thing to know about Ellis is that when he posts a link and says "Don't look," you should not look.
And while looking for something else, I just stumbled upon Rogers saying, "Really, you've got 48 minutes. 6 two-minute scenes an act. TV isn't haiku, but it's damn close." So after I suspect it's just 1)a 2)b 3)c after all.

If I only had a brain...
I have a migraine again. Is the blame-Tim clause still in effect?

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

How boring!

Warren Ellis is responsible in full or part for these things:
Even if he stopped there, it'd be a worthy legacy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dude. Transmet. Worthy legacy all by itself.

I have limited Transmet exposure. I'm currently working on Planetary and Authority. Too much stimulus!

You'll run out of Planetary and Ellis Authority soon enough. (I mean, sure, Planetary's not quite over, but it only comes out once in a blue moon.)
When you do, grab yourself some Transmet and settle in.

... and then be prepared for more Too Much Stimulus, since that's what it's all about.

True.
I think I read all of Transmet in a 48 hour period during the height of the '04 election season, and had about another 48 hours afterwards where fiction and reality were kind of blurred.
