ha! cereal to say, you too Theodosia.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

[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.

in the category Miniseries, Movie, or Special
Didn't this happen with that FX show? The New Orleans heist one? It was cancelled and I think Andre Braugher ended up winning an Emmy in the miniseries category.

Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see the BSG got a nom. Less pleasant and less surprised about the Sopranos noms.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was never clear whether that was intended to be any longer than it was. Whatever it was, it was wonderful.

I think the first season was supposed to be as long as it ended up being. It just never got a second season due to poor ratings.
Personally, I tried to stick with the show and couldn't do it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I quite liked it, but couldn't work out how it could sustain more than the one season.

I think that maybe he could have moved to a new city with his step daughter, and he needed to pull another heist to make money since he gave it all to what'shisname to get her back.

Part of the appeal to me was the post-Katrina New Orleans vibe, so I don't know if it would have worked after that for me. I'm content with the six episodes (or whatever) there were.

The evil is this way?
The televisionwithoutpity folks mention Drive's nomination:
Drive
Ostensibly Nominated For: Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Miniseries, Movie, Or A Special
Actually Nominated For: Maintaining Tim Minear's reputation as a producer's producer...in spite of Wonderfalls, Standoff, The Inside, Firefly.
ETA: Those are all Fox Broadcasting shows, yes?
