When I'm drunk, I try to tell everyone I wrote Drive and Allyson's book.
'Shindig'
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.
Have confirmed with CTV that it's 2 hour premiere this Friday, then episode 3 the following Friday. So they'll be 2 days ahead, then 5 days behind the following week.
Edit: also, they may end up hiatusing it then returning it before FOX. Although an email monkey said that.
DH is on the TV's Hit Drive Love Train. Watching a promo tonight:
DH: "Hey, it's your boy*--what's his name?"
Me: "Nathan Fillion."
DH: "Yeah--it's that new show. Drive."
Me: "Yeah, I know. Tim Minear's new show."
DH: "Nathan's a great actor. I like him. Damn. Firefly was such a great show."
Me: "I know."
- please note--he's not MY boy. DH just refers to anyone he's seen in Buffy or Angel as "my boy" or "my girl."
Reuters have put out an article about 'Drive' and 'Traveler' which Washington Post have picked up: [link]
I wondered what had happened to Traveler. The pilot was neat-oh.
me too, Kevin. it was actually one of my favorite pilots, which probably means it's doooooooooomed.
What's Traveler?
It's due to start in May, Zenkitty. It's a show about people who, er, travel. Except it's better than I make it sound.
As far as I remember, it is about people who travel and then become suspects in a terrorist bombing of some sort. I heard good things about the pilot, but it was one of those high-concept shows that sounded more like a miniseries.

PC, I remember when watching the pilot of Traveler thinking 'this would make a great BBC mini-series'.
Today's reviews of TV's soon to be hit Drive:

Traveler is about three friends. After a museum (?) bombing one of the friends disappear and the other two are blamed for the terrorist act. The two remaining friends try to find the third who they suspect of framing them.
