Giles ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
But with each new casting announcement, it's getting more and more ridiculous. I don't know if I can believe in TV's hit Drive anymore. It's a total televisual Mary Sue.
But wait! There's more! What if I were to tell you there'll be an episode titled Out of Gas that starts with NF falling into frame? How much would you pay then?
Oh my God, joe boucher, I didn't stop to think how hilarious it would be for TV's hit Drive to have an episode called "Out of Gas."
I'm not getting the "out of Gas" joke but Kathryn is how my family spells it too.
Laga, have you not seen Firefly ? Tim wrote an episode called "Out of Gas" that was all non-linear and flashback-heavy and generally awesome.
Yes I know the episode but I think I'm missing some deeper joke. Maybe I need some more caffeine.
Oh, there's no deeper joke. Just that cars run on gas. And thus can actually be out of gas. It's funny to me. At least.
oh goodness that was staring me right in the face wasn't it? Drive, Out of Gas, no more driving, duh.
No deep joke. I just thought it would be funny if Tim wrote episodes entitled "Out of Gas" for two different shows (especially one for a show called Drive), and even funnier if both of them started with Nathan Fillion falling into frame with a thud. And it's always fun to trot out the old Ronco language ("But wait! There's more!")
A very belated but YOOOOGE!! </Mike Francesa> congratulations to Kristen on the new gig! Richly deserved.
If he does, the appropriate actor needs to be coached on how to pronounce "ita" properly before the episode is fimed.
I am in the Drive offices and I AM REALLY BORED AND TIM IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO ME.
