Well, we've had two good reviews of the pilot, so time for a bad one: [link]
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

[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 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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

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..."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
As the World Turns, baby! I (heart)ed him.
Me too!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ironic in light of the fact that they only sent the first hour of the (three-hour) pilot out to the press. Gotta love that amazing inter-departmental communication going on at Fox!

They're going to hook the critics one hour at a time. The general public gets special treatment!
