Ilona Costa Bianchi ,'The Girl in Question'
[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.
The more reviews I read, the more everybody seems unduly hung up on the premise. Was only sending out the first hour a mistake or something, because nothing about the premise pings me to the degree that the critics are making of it. Is it serial-drama burnout, given all the shows that tried for it this year and tanked? I'm seriously confuzzled.
shrugs
Whatev, I got new Tim-may drama to watch in just under an hour!!! Whoot!!!
The 2nd hour answers many of the questions posed by the reviews I've seen. It's a shame, but if it wasn't ready, it wasn't ready.
I completely agree the reviewers are hung up on the premise, though, and still maintain it's one of the reasons why I'm excited about the show. It's not going to replace BTVS for me: but it is so wide and with so much going on, there's a lot to love. I think a critics job in many ways is to spot flaws, and seems so simple to suggest this won't run for 11 years as a single road race. Have a cookie, I say, and tell me if the episode is any good.
Damn, is Drive 2 hours tonight? So I have to record the Dresden files?
Yep, 2 hours, 1 hour tomorrow.
But the new episode of Dresden Files is at 10 Eastern. (There's a repeat at 9 Eastern.) So, no conflict in most places.
Woot! 2 minutes...
Ladies and Gentlemen - fasten your seat belts and start your engines! It's TV's Hit DRIVE!!!!!
VROOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Are you and Tim having to smoke extra, to make up the difference?
I know that I've been smoking extra. If he's not smoking extra, I may be about to lap him and claim the title of Office Chimney.
Kristen, are you all butterflies, today?
The butterflies come and go. Right now, I'm doing fine. I intentionally planned my day so that I would have little time to obsess about things I cannot control.
ETA: Hope y'all enjoy TV's hit DRIVE!
We're watching on TiVo, after the kids go to bed, so I still have to sweat it out. Right now, I'm pretending board time is my time, so I don't think about it.
We're getting a new visitor each second to DF at the moment.
