River ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I didn't think the network control sounded as bad in the article, as I expected, from what I read here. It sounds like ABC had the concept for the show, and hired the writers -- not that they pitched the show. There was a direction they wanted to go, that ABC didn't let them go, with the Dave episode, but I remember hearing about things like that with Mutant Enemy and their networks.
What stuck out, to you?
Okay, so looking at my message center and this freaked me out a bit:
Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery (2703 messages, 815 new)
Spooky.
Total loss. That seriously sucks.
Thank goodness no one was home at the time!
Really. The report said there were bars on the windows which is not a good thing in a fire. Then again, if someone was home they may have been able to douse the fire immediately. Ick. Fire may be pretty, but also scary.
Fire may be pretty, but also scary.
No! Fire bad! Tree pretty.
Tree sheds needles or leaves that have to be picked up and disposed of. I'm sticking with fire.
Jamaican houses traditionally have bars on the windows. But there's very little in the structures themselves to burn (concrete, concrete, concrete--makes WiFi a bitch). I'd never thought of the trapped aspect, though. Even if you took off the bars, the louvred windows would still be a bitch.
Network interference in the article doesn't sound too bad -- or, rather, nothing I've not seen before. Anybody remember the Buffy crew having to shoot multiple angle takes of Willow getting out of bed when Tara was in it for The WB, as they didn't like the idea of two women being seen in bed together?
That said, JJ saying business basically comes above creativity is amusing. It's no coincidence he made a big splash in the TV biz, and Joss didn't as much.
