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.
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.
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?)
It's still on and has been renewed for season 3.
I think it's just the last review's headline struck me weird. Who cares about the premise? If it's executed with panache or whatever, then yay! I could have the best premise ever (and I think I do somewhere kicking around in my head). If I pull it off poorly, it's a bad show (or book, or comic or whatever).
