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.

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.)

Over inflated expectations? Clearly, they expected Drive to get much bigger numbers from the first episode.

The question is if that's actually over flated, or realistic from a business need point of view. And I don't think we know either way.

It's wacky in a way. Drive got more viewers than Firefly had overall. And The Inside. And Wonderfalls. And Angel. But it disappeared the quickest out of all of them.
