Next weekend, I'm re-watching and watching what I haven't watched. I'm deciding.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No.
Behave.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Ooh, Tim at WorldCon! I just hope that the two of the panels I'll be on-site for don't conflict with other stuff I want to/have to do.
(Plus, Tim and JMS and one of the Who writers at the con. Eep!)

No.
Behave.
Sorry, I'm just anticipatory.

Oh, which one? Not that I really kept track of the Who writers beyond Russell T. Davies and wossname who wrote the "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances." Steven Moffat!

The pilot is done-ish (the network delivery version). I'll let ya know when I know anything that's fit for publication.

Cool! The script was a great read. I enjoyed the colorful stage directions. Or...what do you call them in teleplays? Some of them were character notes, but others were describing the camera and the way we, the audience, were seeing (and interpreting) things.
