Buffistas

Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

[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.

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.

Tim and Kristen - I'm chiming in late but no less sincerely, to agree with what everyone has said already. We were really enjoying the show at our house and I'm so sorry that all your (collective) hard work has come to this.

Tim, I'm gonna continue to follow you wherever you go, but we keep getting left more or less in dramatus interruptus, and a woman can only be left hanging so long, you know?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Fuckity.

Tim, Kristen, I'm sorry this didn't take off. you guys do good work, dammit.

Aw. Warren Ellis sez:

That is just fucked. Poor Tim.

Yeah, if people were given a chance to fucking find it. Or hear good things about it. I mean, it's been 10 days since the first episode aired. 10 days. People go on vacation for longer than that. Or are sick for that long. There's a billion reasons people could not be watching yet.

I don't get the not being pissed at FOX thing. I'm pissed at them. I know it's a business and I know the ratings were going down. But, 10 days? That's completely insane.

And putting it up against popular reality shows while not giving it the time to find its' footing? Even more insane. I'll never understand it.

I'm sorry Tim and Kristen. I totally think it wasn't given enough time to find an audience.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Especially because I'm definitely the kind of person who doesn't watch a new show the first couple of episodes, because I'm waiting to hear what other people say, and if it seems like it'll stick. Of course, I'm not a Nielsen family, so it doesn't count, but STILL.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeah, crap. The fourth episode finally hooked me good. Then I turned on my computer, saw the news elsewhere, and came here.

I'm sorry this is happening. Again. It's gotten to the point where even gallows humor wears thin.

Sorry Tim, sorry Kristen, sorry Nathan et al.

::sigh::

Even my nine year old son is bummed. He has yet to be jaded by network bullshit and is just very confused.
