[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Oh and I should mention that I don't think the image used on that page is from the pilot. It might just be a stock photo they stuck on there.

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

Kristen never lets anyone have any fun.

Hey, no one would be happier than me to see this show get ordered to series. But before the news starts spreading like wildfire, I'd like it to be, you know, true.

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

Truthy isn't good enough?

Not that guessing and looking for omens might not be fun, but isn't it likely that we'd hear definite news of an official pick-up here, from Tim himself? I'd like to think he'd be notified before the Fox website's design staff.

You'd hope, Matt. Although, honestly, news that The Inside was cancelled last year was wondering around online before Tim had announced it dead, from FOX staff.

I was about to Whedonesque the maybe-pickup thing earlier, but I left it for a while to see what you guys and gals said first. Because, honestly, I trust you guys more than my fingers.

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

"Don' be e-scared"

Guys, a "drive" by (ya like that?) to say that no, "Drive" was not picked up today. All I can tell you is that they picked up the cast options when they came due not long ago, but the show itself -- not picked up so far. When I know anything conclusive, ya'll be the first to know. I wouldn't be warming up the TIVO at this point, though.

Also?, if I'd seen that page before and noticed that they didn't have me listed as one of the creators, there would have been some annoyed phone calls. I mean, I'm still annoyed. Quite a lot, actually. But I just don't much feel like calling anyone about it.

I can call someone if you want, Tim. I'm in a crabby-as-hell mood.
