[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.
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.
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:
"Listen closely... I'm about to make you an offer..."

Me too!
Just been looking at the Drive photos on IMDB. Lots of pretty, but there's two or three which are clearly visual spoilers for the plot.
On Livejournal today there is "Katrina, as used by FOX" (http://community.livejournal.com/neworleans/2652012.html). Hasn't had any reaction. Minor character motivation spoilers.
In MediaWeek, FOX's VP of Programming talks about Drive's scheduling: "Our hope is that it’s the kind of show, like 24 and Prison Break, that if you get people deep into it fast, you’ll hook them quicker than doing it one hour at a time".
