I just want to go back to sleep.
I have 6 office moves to deal with today, and no one is packed.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

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

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.

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

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.

...Wait, is the implication here that the Lost pilot was fast-paced? Or are you saying that Heroes is even slower?

Heroes is even slower. Mostly because it's a little more non-linear and meandering. The pilot doesn't so much have a plot as a collection of character studies.
