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.

[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.

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.

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?

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.

Trust my rage
I don't get why FOX seems so schizophrenic when it comes to Tim and his shows. They love him enough to let him write, cast, and film the shows, but then they turn around and cancel them a few weeks later. I understand it's a numbers thing, but why do they approve his stuff in the first place if they are just going to cancel it three weeks after airing (or less).
(And don't get me wrong. I've liked all of Tim's shows. Wish there were more of them. But FOX's decision making process confuses me.)
