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."
Heh.
The Inside was Angel.
Nah. More like a spin-off. Connor: The Series. Connor was just wearing an ingenious disguise.
Now I have a mental image of Katie as Mel glibly saying, "there's no need for 'Out, out damn spot!" if you think ahead and wear gloves."
I love that Matt. If I wasn't clear before, my notion was always that Danny is the one who does the deed. A way to get some Danny/Mel motion in one pinging ricochet of an episode.
As Allyson said, it makes one's mind go to the Micheal Moore thing and the pres-as-doofus of it, which tickles me.
Good, it was only supposed to be tickly, not pointy. I think I'm too politically moderate to be pointy. I either don't hate either of them, or hate them both; it sort of depends on which day it is.
Unless it's just wrong.
Probably, which might be why I liked it.Thanks Jackal, but I'm fine with it. The new thing? Best thing I've done.
All right. That's exciting.
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. Screw serial killers, gimme some glib 16 year old girls.
Will it premiere mid-season, Tim?
"I was made a nobody a long time ago. By something a hell of a lot scarier than you." - I wanted to hug Rebecca when I read that line. Poor little lost girl who still manages to stand up on her feet and fight back and tries to do good and escape from that and find herself and find that strength exactly from that poor-girl place that makes me want to hug her.
Nilly, I will never forget that moment. I hope you get to see it sooner, rather than later. Some of the episodes I saw were too much for me, because I'm wimpy like that, but that moment stuck with me.
