I don't think anyone really cares as long as it works.

"Point of Origin" creeped. More I say, more.

A small update to TMnet: Allyson talks to Tim about stuff.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"Once you're out of college," showrunner Minear observes, "you go into the real working world to work for Greenpeace -- and now Shell Oil has offered you a job. Does it mean that you have to give up your values, or does it mean that you can actually apply your values to the thing that you thought was corrupt? That does seem like a metaphor."

You know, I was thinking about this quote the other day. Evidently, the final moral of AtS? Get a job at Shell Oil, and then burn it down to the ground and off the board of directors.

Which? Kind of appealing, on a visceral level.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.

So does the fact Drive is filming so late mean it's doomed to being a mid-season show or is there hope for the fall?

And does anyone know if the Pony Man returns in the finale of The Inside? "Point of Origin" had a great cliffhanger.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Speaking of "Point of Origin," if you would like to ♥ me, you should e-mail me.

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

I hope right after baseball, which means no showus interruptus, and ads during baseball.

I'm in the UK so I'm not sure on dates but a Google search said baseball ends in October... Is that right?

What is even happening?

Yes Jackal, with the championship being played toward the end of October. The play-off series and the championship series are the games that caused problems for Firefly.

I dunno about "doomed." 24's done pretty well as a midseason show.

Thanks, Topic!Cindy.

And when I said "doomed" it was more from the selfish stand point of me not wanting to wait that long than the show doing badly during mid-season.
