[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.
Boxed Set is not a NAFDA thread. It has its own rules. From the header:
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
Woops. I actually often frequent that thread and I hadn't even read that, clearly.
Yeah. Nobody ever reads the headers. I'm not harping, by the way. I'm just trying to point out that we may be flawed, but at least we're consistently flawed.
Like the UN!
Yep, don't worry, didn't take owt the wrong way. The only reason I've bought up the CTV thing now is I figured it could go a bit wrong at the weekend otherwise.
Kristin and Nathan are hosting FX's showing of "Gone in 60 seconds."
RIGHT. NOW.
Looks like the segment reruns at 9:30
My only thing is that all these reviews keep saying it's an outlandish premise. Aren't a lot of shows like that? My Name is Earl is kinda an outlandish premise. Lost? 24? Numb3rs? Dude. Buffy? I'd just think that wouldn't even merit a mention.
I know, Daisy! It's kind of pissing me off, honestly. IT'S COOL. SHUT UP AND WATCH IT.
I think it's not that the premise seems outlandish, but that it seems unsustainable beyond a single season -- once the race has been run, then what? But then, like you said, look at Lost and 24, which had the exact same issues when they began. (Or Prison Break - is that still on?)
