I liked Rebecca and Web right from the start, but the full-blown Katie Finneran love kicked in during "Everything Nice" for me.
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.
I liked and identified with Rebecca and loved to hate Web, but I loved Mel and Danny. Paul, necessary to counterweight the Rebecca/Web dynamic, otherwise, a little too Intensely Caring and Righteous for me.

If I were still writing fanfic, I'd do an Inside/XFiles xover with Krycek. I wish someone else would write one.
The Inside fan vids (not mine). Contains unaired (FOX) stuff.

I found these a few days ago and my extreme lethargy prevented me from telling anyone else or putting them on the blog, but I really like the first one.
There's a third here - also Rebecca centric.
Next weekend, I'm re-watching and watching what I haven't watched. I'm deciding.
Jackal... Jesus christ. I loved that. Like, a lot. That made me want to watch The Inside again.
Also, having gained some distance on The Inside, I have to say I loved the character arcs as a whole, and as a character drama (by which I mean the focus on the core characters) thought it worked supremely well. I thought the more stand alone episodes sometimes struggled - example, I think Perfect Couple just really didn't work at all. Also still disagree with Tim and think Loneliest Number hangs together well. Final episode was my overall favourite.
I'm wondering if we'll see the likes of The Inside and Wonderfalls sold online in this new fancy Fox Direct2Drive movie and TV initiative.
How cool are those fan videos? I love that.
Okay, so for those who care about such things, looks I'm going to be at the Worldcon in Anaheim on these dates for these panels:
Wed 8/23 4:00 PM Title: WHY DOESN'T SF SEEM TO LAST ON TV?
Sat 8/26 2:30 PM Title: RUNNING TV SHOWS
Sat 8/26 5:30 PM Title: CRAFTING THE WHEDON-VERSE
Is the pilot for
Drive
all finished and stuff?
Can I see it?
