I hope people really do send spark plugs to Fox, as was suggested.
'The Message'
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.
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.
Some geek.
I didn't know it was a geeky phrase. Just Scottish. Wait...is it a Star Trek thing, or something?
The cancellation of Drive was mentioned in the Galactica Watercooler podcast this week.
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.
But are they smarter than..
I'll stop now.
