What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, based on P-C's breakdown, we could be left hanging in the middle of Mystery #2. Poo.
Yeah. Rob's reasoning is that the 13-episode pick-up is an arbitrary number and they can cancel them at any time anyway, so there's no point in writing around that number. If they're not doing well, it's going to be apparent before then, and if they are, they'll get the back nine and it won't matter.

See, there were conflicting reports at the time of the renewal as to whether it was 13 with an option to go to 22 or 22 with the option to cut to 13. And I tried to ask Rob to clarify, but he wouldn't give me a straight answer, insisting that it didn't matter to anyone but the accountants. The bottom line being, as he said, that they can be cancelled whenever. All the 13 thing means is that they're only budgeted for 13 right now, I think.

By extension, I figured it meant that 13 would get filmed. So if they were cancelled prior to all 13 airing, they would at least have 13 eps for the theoretical DVD set.

All it really means is that people will be paid for 13 episodes. They don't have to actually film them. Hollywood is very strange.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like Tim's approach to the thirteen. Sure, it's arbitrary, but if we get DVDs including unaired, that's how far it'll go. And if it is picked up, it's not a bad rhythm.

With Wonderfalls and The Inside, though, he had the luxury of having all 13 filmed before they aired, right? It's easier to plan for 13 if you know you at least get to film them.

How so? I mean, he's planning for some number without knowing if he's going to film them. I don't see why 13 is any different.
