Thanks so much, tiggy! You made my day!
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.
Does the FCC give the same weight to on-line generated forms as it does to snail-mailed ones? I think it's safe to say that the majority of people who submitted that form didn't even read it, let alone watch the show in question.
Laga, I doubt it's remit allows it to discount certain complaints. The FCC still hasn't ruled on THE INSIDE (and the PTC recently complained about that, too), however I'd say it's reasonably likely they will fine FOX for it as the FCC are slightly nuts IMHO.
Also, that Drive Emmy thing -- I said I thought it was bizzare they used 'The Starting Line' as the submission, and now I take that back. The 3 minute clip they've submitted is from the original pilot, and that 3 minutes looks amazing.
Edit: the clips online @ [link] (Completely remastered! With the proper actors! Oh my).
Daniel and I watched a few episodes of The Inside last night. I decided that Paul is Whedon. It makes everything funnier.
Happily married but obsessing over waifish self-empowered young women?
Juliebird, that sounds like the start of a sales pitch. "Then try Slayer Puffs!"
mmmmm. slayer puffs.
My Britishness took a moment to parse that, then.
I finally gave up trying to watch the final two drive episodes on MySpace. I ahemmed. I'm sure it was the fault of my popup blocker, but I don't turn that thing off except for one thing, playing Literati on Yahoo. But, I now have them!
I read the scrpts and was happy. I mean as happy as I can be considering that's all there is. Wah.
