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.
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.
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.
Brian Bloom was a soap actor too.
Well, we've had two good reviews of the pilot, so time for a bad one: [link]
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.
Brian Bloom was a soap actor too.
That he is. I don't remember whether the blurb mentioned him.

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