What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Which he are you referring to? I was saying that Tim could plan for 13 episodes if he knew they were going to get filmed, regardless of whether they would air or not. Rob, on the other hand, doesn't know how many he's going to be allowed to film, so he is just working under the assumption that he'll be doing a full season rather than planning for 13.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The he I meant was Rob. He could just as easily pace his full season so it has a natural mini-wrap at episode thirteen as any other way.

I have no idea what information Tim had when he was working Wonderfalls or The Inside.

I wish he'd do this: 7-6-9.

Oh, yeah, I understand that. He could do that. But he's not. I guess we'll have to find out why when we watch.

P-C, do you know if the chunk breakdown was Rob's decision? I figure the CW wants to take the first arc through November Sweeps, then make their decision based on those numbers, but I don't know. I don't want to think about it, too much. It nauseates me.

Ha. Funny you ask that, as I just discovered this morning that it was a network mandate.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Great, and very spoilery, article on S3 from the Chicago Tribune: [link]

Someone has awesomely transcribed the TCA upfront interview WITH spoilerfont for spoilerphobes. As Fay would say: bless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This [link] says that House will be on Tuesdays at 9:00pm while this [link] says 8:00pm. Does anyone know which one is correct?

I think it will start out at 8 but move back to 9 by the time VM starts.
