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

More "Drive" casting news. Two guys you probably don't know, but you sure will -- Andres Saenz-Hudson and Shahine Ezell. They're now brothers. Guess you'll just have to stick around.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
They're now brothers.
Did they do some weird DNA-sharing thing?

The evil is this way?
They're now brothers.
You have the power to do that? It's sort of a reverse Tower of Babel thing -- instead of dividing people, you make them related. Cool.

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
Shut up.

Remember that exchange between Allyson and Kristen. Should come clear in several months.

What is even happening?
Tim, if you're still hanging, will you please explain the difference between the "written by" and "teleplay" credits for TV?
(Or, did Jackal and I basically understand them? We had the discussion just above the first post you made, today.)
