Anyone placing bets yet on when the show will return?
October is my guess. The final 7, a break for Xmas, then straight into 22 episodes for season two. I may be slightly delusional, but I find it best that way.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

[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.

What is even happening?
I don't know, if it was shot as a cohesive 13. I hope they come up with something different for TV's hit, Drive.
That interview got me excited for it, again. I think I need P-C to tell me more about it. Each time I read his posts, his joy infects me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know much more about it than what you're reading in the interviews, Cindy, especially since they rewrote the pilot. But every time I read an interview, it sounds cooler and cooler. It sounds like they've really thought through the concept and are using it to its full potential, storywise, characterwise, and "Make an exciting show so that people will tune in and watch ever week"-wise.
In a world where shows like Prison Break and 24 and Lost become smash hits, I feel like this will break Tim's streak. I do wish I were seeing more about it in the media. Are the popular TV columnists excited about the show? Are they getting their readership excited about the show? They ought to.
I think the show was in Entertainment Weekly's Spring TV Preview, right? I still remember seeing Wonderfalls in that. Accompanied by a ridiculously pretty picture of Caroline Dhavernas that told me I needed to watch the show.

I doubt anything will show up from TV columnists until April 6-April 8, at the earliest, for weekly/magazine columnists. They're going to hold reviews until closer to the show's launch. Daily columnists/newspapers likely won't run content until April 13-15.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's definitely already been in Entertainment Weekly, because when I mentioned TV's hit Drive to my parents a while back, they already knew about it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The EW editorial staff are longtime Jossverse fans, so that doesn't surprise me. (That they'd follow Tim's stuff too, I mean.)

Well, I'd just like everyone to know that TV's Hit Drive got a blurb in... wait for it... Soap Opera Digest. What? I read it several times a year; I need to be up-to-date so I can keep posting here. Shut up.
I believe the connection was Nathan as an ex-soap actor.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Brian Bloom was a soap actor too.

Well, we've had two good reviews of the pilot, so time for a bad one: [link]
