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 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.
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.

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.
Brian Bloom was a soap actor too.
As the World Turns, baby! I (heart)ed him.
Fox is still coming up with new promos for TV's hit Drive. There were five by my count aired yesterday on the network, between the race and the last two hours of prime time. Here's one of the new ones:
