'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
The new thing? Best thing I've done. I had a meeting at NBC last week and the executive's assistants told me "Drive" was their favorite pilot script (they rank the competish). It's all buzzy.
Wheee!! That kind of feedback has got to leave you chuffed. Major x-ed fingers and toes on this one having real...ahem...momentum.
Any chance you could do an outline and get someone to do an "Inside" comic book so we could see the whole arc?
Screw serial killers, gimme some glib 16 year old girls.
That all sounds highly illegal.

If CSI's taught me anything it's that they can be one in the same, so crossover...?
I'm returning to my lurking corner now.
Spidra, I was trying to joke.
Ah.
Did you know there's a picture of me right next to the dictionary definition of "gullible". I think there's a profile picture of me next to "credulous".
Although I have to say that when I made my return to b.org, I really tried to be conservative in my posting so that I could get a feel for which threads were suited to which subject matters. Both de jure and de facto.
And I bloody well enjoyed watching that link to the unaired Wonderfalls pilot. (a) because I don't own the set yet and it was nice to see that 'verse again (b) because it really illustrates how much better Lee Pace and Tracey Thoms were and (c) just seeing Katie Finneran again cracked me up with the memory of her "I've got to call him" comments on the commentary track.
there would have been some Faith-like cutting with the knives. 'cause, always funny.
I wanted something like that, only with Web. I didn't like that dun-dun-DUNNN reveal of Pony Man. It felt very Angel, which was fine for Angel, but wrong for The Inside.
Nilly, I named the characters. There is some thought that goes into it, but mostly I try not to have characters with names that start with the same letter.
The Inside was Angel. I reached into my bag of trick.

Shiny tagline. Grog want.
And I never got to the Melody assault, which made me sad. I wanted her interrogating the suspect and she knows he assaulted her, and he knows that she knows, but there is no proof. But he ends up dead in ghastly ways and Danny, who, um, found the body, is all, "he musta slipped."
