But he doesn't pay nearly enough attention to you, Allyson.
I'm glad he knows that. The next step is to fix the problem. I have to drop something in the mailbox. You can start by opening the gate.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

Tim! Pretty cast you have there.
I had a whole email almost composed in my head to you about the connection between Dickens and serial television and how you are the Dickens of the TV world. And then I realized I'm too immersed in esoteric grad school bullshit and you're a busy man without time to slog through my ramblings.
It was all flattering and shit. But no beagles.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It really is a pretty cast. I hadn't really realised until I saw them all together.

Kat! Thanks. I'd never ever call myself the Dickens of anything, but I've used that same analogy -- that at it's best serial TV stories are us trying to do what Dickens did.

What is even happening?
Is Amy in that cast picture, and I'm just missing her?

Amy's not a regular. There were several not-regulars not-pictured.

Is Peter Ligouri the same person who said Drive was a testament to your illness?
I always wanted 'testament to my illness' as a title for this thread.

I've used that analogy too! Somewhere. I've always loved the idea of people waiting at the docks for the next installment...oh shit, I didn't use the Dickens thing for serial TV.
I used it for Harry Potter.

The status is NOT quo.
I had a whole email almost composed in my head to you about the connection between Dickens and serial television and how you are the Dickens of the TV world.
Out of my brain, pretty preggo lady! Not that I was writing an email, but I just had a conversation with a friend the other day about what makes effective serial television and how every writer should take a lesson from Dickens.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Dickens drew everything out forever because he was getting paid by the word! In high school English, the teacher wanted us to take turns reading Great Expectations aloud, and by halfway through the first day I was dying from listening to everyone else's slow painful reading, and when someone refused their turn and asked if I could read instead, I said yes, and after that? I read the whole gorram book to my ninth grade English class. Although it was probably the only classic any of them ever got all the way through, I never want to read Dickens ever again.
