Is it wrong to ask if the casting for Tim's new show has happened yet? I see people added to pilots everyday, but his show is never mentioned. Is there an order in which pilots are allowed to satrt casting?

When would the pilot have to be filmed to present to the studio?

This stuff confuses me....

I've been told that answering these things constitutes bragging.

So let me "brag."

They are casting it now. It's not wrong to ask, I'm always confused by this stuff. The order as it appears to me is that once the network agrees to buy the pilot, they hire a director, cast it, hire the guy who holds the boom, figure out location stuff and all of that. Once it's shot, the network will make a decision based on the pilot whether they'll buy more episodes, and that's when writers will be hired, offices set up, and those cute Vcards with the show logo get printed.

I think. But you know who knows the for sure definate stuff? Tim.

And you have been told this by idiots. What do you do with idiots? flay them and then roll them in a bed of salt and then play "The Pony They Called Wildfire" Ignore them.

Vcard?

It's this little card that gets attached to email and also sent out with random stuff. I have a bunch from Mutant Enemy (bragging) back from when I did auctions and other various stuff that meant they would have to mail me things. They're sort of like notecards.

ETA: I'm going to be hopelessly self-conscious from now on, you realize?

Thanks Allyson.

I was worried there for a time they had changed their mind.

So we are in the casting stage. Is Tim directing the Pilot too? Do directors come with their own crews?

When you write, do you just write with an idea of were you want to film, or do the writer's physically go down there and look at the location?

Okay going abck to my corner now, I think I have filled my question card for today.

WANT INSIDE DVDs!

Or magic pirated inside eps. Sadly, too busy and lazy to go to any effort to find them these weeks.

Rewatched "Perfect Couple." And nope, I still like it. Pulp noir, right? I think that's what it was.

The misdirection throughout doesn't cheat, and it's fun to rewatch when you know what's going on. I actually think Benson did a good job because she has a to walk a line so that her behavior reads one way the first time, but doesn't conflict with the ah-ha moment. She's not entirely convincing in the last scene, maybe. The hot bartender's interest in Rebecca mostly camouflages the fact that he's a font of convenient knowledge. And of course the music when they visit his place is hilarious.

Nitpicks: The hand-stamps are nice at the start and get a little anvil-y. I don't get why she pulled over saying Roddy was behind them -- I can believe that was her routine to scare the victims out away from the road, but with a car pulling right up right behind her? I assume that they shouldn't have looked like they were quite that close.

And on a meta note, I'm amused by the fact that this is, what, the third show from Tim featuring a bartender as a possible romantic interest? Okay, Lorne wasn't technically a bartender, but close enough.

Wonderfalls' bartender wasn't my creation, it was Fuller's. And I think Edlund or Silverstein came up with this bartender.

And my sextenders don't even make a dent in all the pregnant women I've attacked. And ya'll didn't even see the one in Strange World.

Yeah, what's that about?

And how many of Cordy's demon pregnancies were yours anyway?
