[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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, see, that's the thing. With good slippers one does not need to grip, and they don't slip off. And in fact, one can walk quietly without the slapping.
I dunno about the fetish thing. I do think it's funny we're trying to clearly define for newcomers what's in each thread, and then we talk about whatever wherever.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hey, as long as the Soap topics are kept to spoilers it's clear to me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Soaps are supposed to be here. In the Crafts thread.

Soaps are here, except for when we're spoiling them.

Ah, I hadn't realised. Do we have enough soap viewers to justify a seperate soap topic thing?

Huh, just caught this on IMDB. Somebody who worked on the set of the Drive pilot a few months back said they were told the remaining episodes of Drive will be shot 'real time', a la 24. That true? I like the concept as I think it'd lend urgency to the race, but surely it'd be a bitch to shoot.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
I asked Tim this in my email interview a few months ago:
TM: It's nothing like 24. And again, because of the wide canvass of the premise, it can literally go anywhere narratively.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I find 24's "real time" gimmick extremely annoying. I think it makes the storytelling awkward, what with the split screens and all.

Real time is only gimmicky when they do things like spilt screen, if you ask me. I don't mind the concept of each show representing an hour in the life of people in the race, although if it's being done like that it would make race-based 'flash back in timeline' sequences confusing.
One thing I've picked up from comments online so far about Drive is how much resistance to the premise there is. I wasn't expecting that. From the lines put out in the Variety and Hollywood Reporter articles, people are picking up it's a Cannonballesque program. In a bad way. Hopefully the trailers don't make it look like Firefly did on FOX (ie FOX's trailers for Firefly resembled Spaceballs, if you ask me).
