Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

[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.

Wondering who else will be coming to a screen near you when TV's hit Drive airs? Wonder no more.

And I'm told a certain group of fans of one of Tim's recent shows will find a surprise toward the bottom of the list.

Richard Brooks and Charles Martin Smith! Awesome!

Monique, thanks for the calming words about the timeslot. I admit to being concerned.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

That's some excellent news.

Here, here. Very tasty.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Yay!for that list.

Monique, thanks for the calming words about the timeslot. I admit to being concerned.

You're welcome! I am a sea of zen and tranquility, spreading nothin' but peace and love in my wake.

My own plan is they can make an episode or two, or 8 or 13, then I'll see if I have to worry once everything's in Fox's hands. Until then? Happiness and list squee-age.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, I was kinda responsible for Rebecca.

Well, you should have taken better care of her. Hrmph.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I was never disturbed by the darkness of The Inside. I was just immediately captivated by the cast of characters, really enjoyed seeing how the different cases brought out/revealed different aspects of the characters, was intrigued by the ambiguous nefariousness of Webb, loved Paul for all his annoyingness (which really, if I'm honest, I was only aware of from discussions on the boards), was never put off by Locke's detachment, but was in fact intrigued by her and her odd perception-of/reaction-to the world. I wanted to know more about Danny and Mel. I wanted to know why/how Paul had a partner (forget her name, she liked cats and had a daughter and schizophrenia) that he knew nothing about: was it his fault or hers?

It was different, it was fresh, it was something I couldn't find anywhere else, that wasn't locked into the predictability and staleness of all those other crime/procedural shows out there.

I also loved Se7en, despite its having sent me into a depression for several weeks afterwards, it touched/disturbed me that deeply.

I've never been able to watch L&O or any of the spin-offs because of the general detachment from the characters. They're too much about story, if not just All. About. The. Story, which is where they loose me. They're great for people who just want to tune in when they can, but won't be traumatized if they miss a couple, but me? If I'm going to watch a show even once, I want it to be worth my time, I want to care so much about the story/characters that I want to watch the next one. Otherwise, it might as well be an anthology, which might as well be a movie-of-the-week. There's no investment in the whole affair.

But that's me.

I feel like doing the Snoopy Dance upon seeing that K. Callan is still among the cast.

I don't know how intentions can put anyone in danger. The only person responsible for Rebecca was Rebecca.

Agreed. And since, unlike Paul, she seemed both cognizant of the role Webb wanted her for from the outset and willing (maybe even eager) to perform it, that responsibility was accepted without complaint.

I don't suppose Detective Ehrle's first name is Jubal, is it?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

So how exactly is "Ehrle" pronounced?
