Art Crawl!!!

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

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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.

Ugh. Yeah, when I see them I'll believe it. Two lonely episodes to burn off. Even if it is May sweeps, how are House re-runs really that much better.

(cause they get better ratings, stupid)

But why would they show them in the summer when everyone's forgotten about them then?

....

And seriously, this time I can blame FOX only for pulling the plug too soon, but not for not giving the show a balls-out, full-scale launch.

During the summer, they've got nothing else to air?

Personally, I think they'll go on FOX's Myspace. What they should do, in my humble opinion, is put them on iTunes exclusively, and charge a dollar a piece. People would buy them. People would make money. But maybe that's insaneo logic.

Shit. I saw House advertised for Drive's slot on Monday, came here, saw all the new messages and just knew.

Sympathies to Tim and Kristen. This really sucks.

And, I'm going to crazy wondering for the rest of my life what's behind this race and how it works.

Now I remember why I DVR new shows until I know if they're gonna make it or not.

The evil is this way?

Fine. Now, in addition to wanting more episodes, I want the pop-up book because I also want those recaps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BAH. I'm so sorry, people-actually-involved-with-the-making. What I don't understand is this: I get why Firefly, Wonderfalls, the Inside didn't instantly become mega-hits. They were good, but I can see how they were a little much in one way or another for the average viewer. Everyone would love Drive! It's the kind of thing people like!

Hmph.
