Tim's interview is about 24 minutes in. It was conducted pre air.
The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[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.
Heh. I'm getting "Wait, hold up, where's the show?" messages at DtR, which I haven't had time to update until now.
Poor people who had to find out the hard way via the 1,000th airing of House this week.
Yep, my inbox is full of them too Monique.
The latest one;
my wife and i loved thid show whey is i ceing canaeled???
Bless their hearts.
Tim's podcast thing is quite entertaining. I didn't realise one of The Inside characters came from something else Tim was developing.
Stop making fun of me, Denise.
Nicotine. On my monitor.
I thought it was sort of cleverly funny at first. Until I realized that Kristen was serious...
And, from the stolen from elsewhere files:
Ratings are based on 5 minutes of staying on the same channel. so if you change the channel on a commercial and turn right back onto fox, each person that does that will give them 4 rating points per person. hence, if 1 million people watch the show and change the channel back and forth on commercials, thats 4 million ratings.
I hope people really do send spark plugs to Fox, as was suggested.
Spark plugs? Really?
I didn't have time to get emotionally invested in Drive. I'm sorry to see it go for a lot of reasons: Tim, Kristen, Nathan. I think it could have been good, even great, tv.
Successful series are formed by an alchemy I canna ken.
I find I have a bottomless well of outrage.
Me too. I get myself locked into an "outrage begets outrage" sort or circuit, which is surely going to be to being a whiskey-swilling, gun-toting bitter old man some day. I can hardly wait.
jengod, you're so deserving of your board name.
Ah, jengod, how I've missed you. We need to see you at more than weddings and funerals, you know?
I have free-floating outrage. It lands on whatever's outrageous at the moment.
I canna ken
Wow, haven't heard that in a while!
I used "It's beyond my ken" a couple of weeks ago, and the helpdesk manager said "What?" He had never heard the phrase. Some geek.
