Angel ,'Just Rewards (2)'
[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.
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!
Fox's website now says 'Look out for the final two episodes this summer'.
And I could recap the pop-up book!
"Is it just me, or do the characters seem two-dimensional? So I pull the tab, and the car tumbles down a cliff. Which would have been cool if it hadn't been totally obvious that would happen. I mean, hello, I can see the little slot cut in the paper! Way to telegraph things, Allyson."
Bollocks. I'm sorry to hear the news, Tim. It looked like it had a lot of promise, and you'd already delivered on a couple of HSQ moments.
Such a shame, that you and Kristen and all the rest of the talent can pour so much energy into a show and not have the chance to even begin to tell the story.
I know enough about how television works to be unsurprised--neither FOX nor anyone else at the networks gives a good goddamn about dedicated fans, they just want lots and lots of eyeballs, and if they can't deliver them, they owe money back to the advertisers. Which is why they pulled it so fast--they lose less if they can get better ratings with a repeat of House.
Good luck on your next project, Tim.
