We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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 liked Southland.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The title for The Inside was terrible. It was called The Inside because, initially, it was about somebody who worked "on the inside" as an undercover agent. That's not at all the show I made. That concept was gone, so we were fishing around forever for a title that would tell you, in a blink, what the show was, and we never landed on it.

I always thought it was refering to getting inside the mind of the criminal.

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

I liked Southland.

Richard Kelly's new movie (with SMG) is called Southland Tales, which would also be good.

Killer Instinct, which basically looked just like The Inside, may have been better if it actually WERE The Inside.

Of course, it just makes me think of the video game.

That's what I thought, sj. I'm in California sunshine right now. One might think that would make me very creative, and I'd come up with all sorts of wonderful titles for The Inside. However, I'm blissing out so much that it has turned my brain to mush. I think it was a fair trade, though, brain for sunshine.

I mean, Criminal Minds is a cheap ripoff of The Inside

Webster=Gideon -- older, mysterious past, quirky, can be kinda creepy.

Paul=Hotchner -- uptight, likes to follow rules, has wife and kid at home

Melody=Elle -- smart FBI chick, wisecracks, respected by the team

Rachel=Reed -- wierd quirk that makes them invaluable to team, problems forming social relationships. special relationship with head guy.

Danny=Derek -- smart, hot, asskicker.

it was the same damn show, but The Inside was better, more disturbing. Which may have been its downfall.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, as soon as Criminal Minds started, I said it was the "mainstream" The Inside. I mean, I really like Criminal Minds, but it's shocking to me how little difference there is between a huge hit and a... not so hit.

me too. I mean, I found The Inside disturbing, but I liked it. I enjoyed being creeped out. General public not so much. They want Serial Killer Lite.

Right there with you. I think it was Twin Peaks that first struck that divide between me and the mainstream audience.
