I think the squick was not based on the typo, but on the some possible readings of the statement after correcting for the typo. I doubt that Tim means it in any of those ways, any more than he means the lefty interpretation I playfully suggested.
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Does anybody know what the deal is with all the reporting of Dollhouse with an aimed premiere date of this spring? I'm sure it was announced for Fall 08. Unless I got it wrong.

I thought it was an aimed production date of this Spring.
ETA: It came from Ausiello's report. He said, "The first of the seven episodes to which the network has committed could premiere as early as spring."

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
This gave me a squick.
Me too.

Ah, that explains it. I keep seeing the spring air date everywhere and it's bothersome. I don't want no midseason series.

If Tim wanted to increase the squick and spread it generally, he could put out a foiler that the theme song for Miracleman would be "We need a whole lot more of Jesus and a lot less Rock N' Roll".

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Actually, "Miracle Man" is pro-Christian, which is what makes it so subersive.
All I see is a flip response to someone calling it anti-christian. shrug
