It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.

Only if it glows in the dark.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Can someone nilly me the description of Drive? I have some pimping to do.

Which one do you want? There were a few. The original logline:

A dramatic series set against an illegal cross-country road race and its players and origins.

Variety's spin:

"Drive," a sudser revolving around an "Amazing Race" competish, but on acid

Or Tim's:

"Magnolia" on wheels with a dash of "North by Northwest" every week.

Plus he said stuff about its big and sprawling ensembleness. Somewhere.

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

oooh! I can describe it! Pick me!

If I only had a brain...

The up-fronts are next week, right?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I thought up-fronts were a few weeks ago?

Drive is to the Amazing Race as Lost is to Survivor, except it doesn't suck.

There are teams of people, some coerced, some volunteers, who start on an illegal, hush hush, road race cross country.

There's a bit of The Long Walk in terms of the stakes involved.

It's got a bit of Jaye's bite, Web's dark, Wesley's post-baby kidnap texture (some buckets will be taken), oodles of Mal's Han-shot-first no nonsense antihero, and enough sexiness for three million LJ icons.

I think those turned off by The Inside's dark goriness and Wonderfalls' whimsy will find a happy Angel-esque place in this with the sprawling story, interestingly twisted characters, and the HSQ. Oh my, the HSQ.

I think that's all that is allowed without being shot.

Nope. Next Monday starts the season.

Uh, 2005 != 2006.

I've been getting up-fronts-gleaned gossip and spoilers for the past week and a half.
