It's still on and has been renewed for season 3.
And I actually think they've done a pretty good job of making the plotline sustainable. At least so far.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
LOL. I was just complaining about how people are battling with "Others" while stranded on an island on ABC; whispering with ghosts and struggling in a post-nuclear world on CBS; flying and jumping ahead in time on NBC; driving around the country, fighting ghosts and ghouls on the CW; and seeing the future on USA. Come on now.
Perzactly!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I agree. I really liked the second season.
Yahoo TV's offering up the first 4 minutes, 38 seconds. Dunno where you should go if you watch it and talk about it, but there you go!
Oooh! I will resist. Too much of a tease. I can wait a few more days! I can!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Well the Hollywood Reporter's review is a hell of a lot better than Variety's.
I had to watch the first 4 minutes. Is it Sunday yet?!

I haven't been following the coverage for Drive very closely but I think that one of the reasons it's being called outlandish is because the premise points towards a convoluted backstory for the race; to make sense of it, you have to imagine huge conspiratorial machinations and that can lead one to a Da Vinci Code kind of place.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Incidentally, Tim Goodman had an offhand mention of Drive in his column today and basically indicated it was a spring burnoff and had no chance of survival.
That doesn't seem in keeping with the promo energy Fox has put into it, but I can't think of a lot of spring debut shows that have succeeded. Mid-season, yes. Buffy was itself a midseason debut show.

Wasn't Grey's Anatomy a spring premiere?
Yep. March 27th 2005.

My theory is, no network is burning anything off it they have it scheduled during May sweeps.
June yes.
May no way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There has been lots of Fox energy behind this one. They must like it. I'm excited.
Also, speculatively, about this:
once the race has been run, then what?
There was an (intriguing? misleading? confusing?) reference in one of those profiles that said: it's been Corinna's lifelong obsession to find out what's behind the race. That's a long race. I'm just saying.
