Next time, I think fall might be a better time of year to try and convince people you have a show. This mid or late season thing, not so much.

Yeah. I'm thinking that must have been some of the reason for the ratings. It was a really weird time for a launch. Most of the other shows were already back from hiatus. People are already watching what they watch. TV watching is largely a habit.

Tim, Scott wants me to ask you how a network can make a decision like this in just two weeks -- four hours or not, it hardly seems the audience had time to find it. I know he was serious with the question, because his wording was a lot more blue than mine is.

If anyone didn't think Fillion was the most charismatic leading man around, I think we might have disabused them of that notion. God damn he's good.

He is. And he had that Big Block of Concrete factor. He has chemistry with everything. I was thinking about that after Allyson posted about the non-romantic relationship developing between Alex and Corinna. She was totally right, but I keep forgetting about Mrs. Tully while watching, because Nathan is so charismatic.

Tim, Kristen and everyone else who had a hand in Drive: Thank-you!

We will miss it around my house (probably by speculating endlessly about what we didn't get to see).

I don't have to stay with Fox, no. My deal is with 20th, not the network.

I was just wondering about that, because Fox? She's been rather dubious in her kindness. (They put the shows up, yeah, but, well ... [waves at current mass of fandom mourning another brilliant show gone] ... check it out.

But "Drive" was so much everything I wanted in a TV show ... exciting, well-acted, witty. It was one of only two shows that had become "appointment television" for me. Which is ironic, as I was in California until Monday night, and had to watch them all late Monday and Tuesday evening.

It felt good to be that excited about a show. It doesn't happen often.

Honestly, and this probably goes without saying (but I'm gonna say it anyway), I'm always terribly impressed with not just your writing, but your vision of a show. "Wonderfalls," "Firefly," "Drive" ... they all felt like they had some depth to them, that if you kept going inside the world, there'd be more and more to discover. You can always feel it burbling under the surface.

I want more of that on TV. So much feels so flat most of the time.

He put Drive in high gear.

Sadly, the show is now running on empty.

You know, I was disappointed in how few reviews used the phrase "high octane." I was positive it'd be everywhere. Of course, I was positive the show would be a hit, so I have clearly not lost as many electrons as I believed.

Well, it wasn't the last line. But it was a line.

Really? It's listed as the last one on the script at TimMinear.net.

He has chemistry with everything.

Oh, he does indeed. Also, he can act.

Yeah. Great show, even if one doesn't count in the love for Nathan. (Damn he's good.) I'm gonna cry a bit now.

I don't have to stay with Fox, no. My deal is with 20th, not the network.

Good. I don't think I can watch anything more on FOX.

Really? It's listed as the last one on the script at TimMinear.net.

That's Leigh's response to "Where Lee surrendered," right? It may be the last line in the script, but in the episode, that scene comes earlier. The last line is...something about Tully saving Sean's life.

Everything about Drive did scream fall show. But hey, spilled milk.

Maybe I can make a popup book with what is supposed to happen next, Tim.

Just in case you weren't entirely kidding, I would be all over that.

The pop up book of Drive can be your follow up to the Vampire People book!
