That was really really fun, even when it was tense-making.
Wheee!
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

[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."
Which made Mr. Jane laugh so hard he scared the dogs into barking for the next 10 minutes.

I REALLY liked it.
I hope it stays. Not being on Friday, it might even have a shot. But that is one gloriously crack-addled show.
LOVED the "I think I shoulda shot you." line.

Thanks Daniel. That must have happened at one of those points when someone stood in front of the tv, talking. These moments were fortunately brief.

That's my one bummer. Due to annoying distractions, I missed a bunch of stuff, and want to see these first two episodes again.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind watching again. I lost a couple of viewers tonight because they stepped away a couple of times and couldn't get caught up. I don't think that it would have been their cup of tea anyway, though. Those of us left were trying hard to keep track, but still missed some, clearly.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ayup. Watched. Enjoyed.
It felt fast-paced, which was good, because I was a little worried about the format. I'm still worried about the size of the ensemble cast, but so far so good. Although I'm thinking ala Lost I should view the initial crowd scenes for potential other racers.
*Loved* the motorcycle riding couple turning out to be older! Hee! Loved the brothers helping out Violet.
Knew when I saw the waitress that it wasn't a one-time shot. She was too big an actress to just randomly be the waitress in the town they were passing through.
I need to rewatch. Which is good. I think with the weird format this is going to feel over super fast. I feel like I just gorged by having two hours already and more coming tomorrow.
I didn't notice the green-screening at all, but I generally don't. So yay for that. And kudos to the actors, 'cause that must be tough to pull off. I'll want to see character stuff, like the characters responding to the smell of the air, details of stuff on the road they drive by, for me to feel like they're inhabiting the road, you know? If they were going to all that trouble, though, it seemed like they'd make more effort to get the road details right. I don't know Florida, so it didn't bug me, but it will when they get to the bits I know. Basic geography.
Lots of questions to be answered.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Dear Nielsen,
Please bring the staff of TV's hit Drive at least 8.0. And a plastic rocket.

TAR would be more interesting with a body count.
I got to watch the first two episodes with some friends last night, and I found it very fun to watch in company!

Our wings are not tired.
I'll watch the 2nd hour again tonight with my son because I made him go to bed after the 1st and he really was enjoying it. I promised he could watch the tape and the show tonight. So it gets the 12 year old vote too.
