Buffistas

Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[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.

Since I mentioned the pre-emptive cancellation talk overshadowing the show talk, I shall talk about the show and be all topic-y.

I have chosen to take the hiring of Riley Smith as a shoutout to me, what with him being from my home state (if you discount the fact that I was born in another country). Some may claim he earned it on his own merits; don't believe it. It's totally all about me.

Seriously, though, I found it interesting that the promo started with him, rather than Nathan. As a result, it took me a half a second to realize it was the promo, but I immediately shushed my family and made them all listen intently. I am intrigued, though. I guess I assumed Nathan would be pimped as the star, but Riley leading off the promo makes it seem more like an ensemble right out of the gate.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It took my roomie shouting, "this is it!" from the other room.

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

I'll probably still think I know better than you when you tell me it was good.

See, this sort of attitude just doesn't fly with me.

I know. It's a sideline of mine.

There's a "Ride of Your Life" sweepstake at the Drive website. Does contain spoilers for which state Nathan's character is from.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The network had different campaigns they wanted to do: one of them is the warehouse thing with cameras where the characters come in and "sell" themselves to the race. That doesn't happen in the show, but we thought it would work in terms of giving a sense of who the characters were. We ended up doing a full-on shoot of just material made for promos.

Instant bonus material for the DVDs, I says.

I haven't seen any of the promos, because I Tivo everything and skip commercials. Maybe I should start watching them.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Simon, I'm not seeing it.

The sweepstakes? Or the spoiler?

And the President is the decider. Which other posts are open? I think I'd like to be... I dunno, maybe the eater. Or the loafer. Perhaps the napper.
