[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.

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

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

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.

(Nothing very good this year, unfortunately. Mostly Lost spoilers which went and aired the night I heard about them.)

Some shows have already gotten picked up or canceled, though. I think some cable stations like Nick, TNT, TBS, etc. may have already done their presentations.
