I thought up-fronts were a few weeks ago?
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

[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.

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

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
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.

If I only had a brain...

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.)

What is even happening?
The presentation schedule for the upfronts this year for the major networks is:
Monday 5/15: NBC
Tuesday 5/16: ABC; mynetwork (what is this?)
Wednesday 5/17: CBS
Thursday, May 18: FOX; The CW

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.

Well, huh. My sources are being sloppy with their vocabulary, I guess.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ooh, Allyson has whet my appetite.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ooh, Allyson has whet my appetite.
Mine too. Thanks!
Though I think I may have to annotate that a bit for people who aren't us.
