The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[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.
Is Drive gonna be 12 or 13 episodes?
I would assume 13. if you're looking at a site that has the eps listed and it only has 12, it's probably because the industry tends to not count the pilot ep as an actual ep or they're counting the two hour premiere as one ep.
The first season will be 13 episodes, Fox willing.
Okay; I thought that maybe because the pilot was reshot we would only get 12.
Nae, it's 13 for sure, as Greg told us he's doin' eps 11 and 13.
Has the rough cut of the (new) Drive pilot been leaked online?
(Edit: logic being I've seen a few reviews on blogs.)
Does the two hour premiere count as episodes 1 and 2 or as just 1 but it's expanded?
1 and 2 -- "The Starting Line" and "Partners"
Doesn't look like the new pilot is online.
FOX have also started adding new clips to viral marketing sites - example here: [link] (spoilers, uhm, obviously). It has to be said the clips which have been placed online aren't attracting the kind of preshow buzz that things like Heroes got. It's nothing to do with the clips -- DRIVE just doesn't have that level of online buzz associated with it yet. But I think we all know that online buzz isn't always a good indicater of offline interest.
