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.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I hope people really do send spark plugs to Fox, as was suggested.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

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?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have free-floating outrage. It lands on whatever's outrageous at the moment.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I canna ken

Wow, haven't heard that in a while!

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some geek.

I didn't know it was a geeky phrase. Just Scottish. Wait...is it a Star Trek thing, or something?

Art Crawl!!!

The cancellation of Drive was mentioned in the Galactica Watercooler podcast this week.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

There was a blurb on MeeVee [link]

Part that made me chuckle:

Fox and Tim Minear get along about as well as two teenage celebutants who wore the same shoes to a party.... the Fox execs just have the attention span of a fifth grader.
