Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

What is even happening?

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

Ah, I took it the other way around, as Danny figuring out some vigilante justice went down and covering for it out of solidarity. I guess I'm just fond of the notion of female characters who don't wait for the guys to do the protecting or avenging.

"Don' be e-scared"

Agreed, Matt, but I wanted Mel to be four square against Danny's actions. He thought he was protecting, and she's furious. Looking down a road I'll never travel.

"Don' be e-scared"

So just finished the latest revision. Is it wrong to just start posting random non-spoilery lines 'cause I'm all punchy?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If that's wrong I don't want to be right.

What would be wrong is posting random lines that never occur.

Which is totally something I'd do and then laugh and laugh when people get frustrated when they never hear them.

I think I'm sitting on the Mean bench today.

"Don' be e-scared"

Here's a couplet I actually cut today, then, sarameg:

He: What is that?

She: The technical readouts to that battle station!

Warms my black little heart.

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

Do another one!!!
