Well, his original character was sort of to be Sid to Drusilla's Nancy and freeboot about the globe, causing iconoclastic mayhem as they went. Spike himself seemed to want to range free once his immediate goals were either achieved or made impractical, at least until he took on barnacle-like traits.

I'm not sure if this is the best thread for this, but I'm leaning with it being on topic because of the Firefly references and because it deals with the kind of show that Tim tends to do (that is to say, good ones).

Ok. I've just been watching Keen Eddie, and I just love this show. Reading online, I guess it would be even better with the original music that didn't make it on to the DVDs (I would go on about how shows should get DVD rights for music when they create the shows in the first place, but that's a rant for another time). But I love the dark, the humor, the snappy writing and the clever acting. Love it. Of course, it would be yet another Fox show that was cancelled after 13 eps. Grr. But aside from that, I've been thinking about what makes me like this show so much. What's similar to other shows that I love (like Firefly ) and liked a lot (it reminds me a lot of Eyes )? There are definitely things that I don't like about the show. In particular, I think that the visuals, and often the sound effects, are too choppy. I know that style is popular, but it tends to give me a headache. Still, I really like this show. I have decided that it comes down to a few things. The acting and writing are outstanding; it's dark, but that is relieved with humor; and the setting is just fun. Ok, having a pretty cast doesn't hurt either, but Baywatch had a pretty cast, so I'm not counting that one.

So, writing, acting, dark with humor, and a bit of pretty. Who would have thunk that these would be the things that are important to me in tv. I just find it interesting that the specifics of genre, style, etc., aren't all that important to me as long as they're done well.

I would go on about how shows should get DVD rights for music when they create the shows in the first place, but that's a rant for another time

If they could afford it, I'm sure they would.

Liese S. thank you very much for the excellent interview questions. And lordy, this place is virtual VIP lounge for Buffistas-made-good! Strega, Polgara, Allyson, madness! Et al. ;)

P.S. I think I will be speaking with the great and terrible Tim himself and directly. :) Actors are so dull, you know...Anyway, not that you all don't live in his attic anyway, but if you needs to know something, I'll totally beat it out of him for you. :) Oh, god stop me with the over-eager smilies. :|

Jengod, you stopped posting regularly around the time I joined the board (was it something I said?), but I'm happy to see you back. I've heard wonderful things about you.

I swear, I have a list of things I'm planning to do with Drive (Jackal knows), but I keep having to cross things off that list because FOX keep doing them first. Which is... confusing. But great.

Huh. They're really doing shit with this, huh? I think they want it to be the next Heroes.

Which I am perfectly fine with. Will Mr. Bright be sending me text messages next?
