Can someone nilly me the description of Drive? I have some pimping to do.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

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

oooh. Unless you think LOST doesn't suck. No offense intended. I mean, your suckage may vary.
