[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.
They are really two pretty good eps, actually. But closure? Er. Um.
If only we knew the creator. If only we had a way to communicate with him, and ask him to let us know his vision -- what would have happened.
You're sweet! And my mom is going to be over the moon. Though I might wait and tell her on July 3rd...just to be on the safe side.
It really is awesome. I've been hoping it would accidentally end up on YouTube or something.
I'll be in Vegas on July 4.
Luckily I have a magical device that allows me to record sounds and images from the teevee and play them back at a time of my own choosing. So I guess that's all right.
But, Strega, you won't watch the commercials! You CRIMINAL! You're STEALING TELEVISION.
The final eps of Studio 60 are being burnt off soon as well, so it's a bitter sweet end to the season this year -- stuff I like returning, to end.
Yeah, I quit that show a couple of episodes before hiatus (I seemed to like it more than most people, but I could only hold out so long), and I was considering watching the burned-off episodes when I realized they were sticking that at 10 o'clock on Thursday, and I already watch four shows on Thursday. Maybe I'll grab them in the summer if people tell me they're worth it. I wasn't enjoying the direction the show was going, and, from what I read, Sorkin was going to continue in that direction.
I heartily approve of the choice of any song from End of the Century, and continue my approval towards the use of "The Hungry Wolf" in the first few episodes. For what that's worth, which isn't much, I guess.
I, too, gave up on Studio 60 just before the hiatus. But I gave pretty much totally up, so not much interest in the burnoffs anyway, unless I happen to be bored with nothing on.
On the other hand, I'm soooooo tickled to at least see Kristen's ep!! I didn't tape the earlier eps because I was traveling, but this might actually be the impetus for me to get a TiFaux of some sort.
Huh, I just saw something on Cox cable saying they plan to disable fast fowarding of adverts of video with on demand content. That's one way to ensure people watch the ads, I suppose.
Or that they don't use the On Demand. I, for one, am crotchety that way.
You have to switch to positive thinking mode:
Drive will go out with massive fireworks.
I think it's going to hit a point where advertisers quit paying for ad time, at which point cable companies will just directly charge us for everything. I'm expecting us to move towards a pay per view model for everything at the rate things are gooing.
well, at least then we only pay for what we watch.
