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.

Are the popular TV columnists excited about the show? Are they getting their readership excited about 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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ouch.

I dreamed about the Drive pilot. It starred Nathan Fillion, Sean Maher, and Summer Glau. Summer's character was snarky and pregnant, except her belly was sort of translucent such that you could see the critter inside. And the critter could talk in baby talk already. At one point, Nathan spoke Chinese, and Sean replied to him in Chinese, and they both chuckled and said, "Eighth grade, Chinese?" as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and I thought, "Hee, nice inside joke, Tim."

The adventures of Mal and Simon and River went on for like half an hour and there were still no cars or sign of a Race, so I was a little disappointed and confused by what I thought was going to be pretty exciting. I think I just want Firefly back.

Hey, the good news is, a lot of people do go see movies like The Fast and the Furious.

That he is. I don't remember whether the blurb mentioned him.

As the World Turns, baby! I (heart)ed him.
