Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

YAY Tim!

Allyson, had I known that you were awake I would have asked if you wanted coffee.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just want to go back to sleep.

I have 6 office moves to deal with today, and no one is packed.

Blech. That sounds like a pretty sucky day.

And sleep seems sort of pointless for me now. In two hours, I can just go into work.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Congrats to Mr Minear.

I saw the pilot for Traveler and it had elements which reminded me of the descriptions of Drive. Sort of. Also, rough cut of Heroes pilot with Batman Begins music provided much amusement. I think Heroes won't last long, but could be wrong.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"He has done such an incredible work for us," 20th TV president Dana Walden said. "He is always interested in stretching beyond the comfort zone, whether it's going deeply dramatic or writing with great levity. He is very versatile, a great team player and a skilled showrunner who is always willing to help."

I think they like him.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I think they like him.

Not enough to release the INSIDE on DVD, though. Or is that the responsibility of a different division of Fox?

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

I don't know, I really liked the Heroes pilot. It deserves a chance, at least, but I'm not sure if audiences will get into it. It's got serious scope and ambition, and it's rather cinematic in its aesthetic.

Was that Batman Begins music? I liked it.

The opening 'off the building' shot in Heroes is scored to Batman Begins, yes. By the way, if anybody is a Nolan's fan keep an eye out for "The Prestige" in October - it's an awesome movie.

Heroes has great amounts of scope, but because of the pacing of the pilot I can't see it exploding like Lost. It really depends how much the network is spending on it (and so expect from it).

Yeah, I was a little bored at times. So I agree that it may not EXPLODE, per se, because it takes some more concentration to get into. But I am intrigued.
