Ha! NPR X-post!
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
This guy actually just said that TV is "pandering to homicidal perverts!"
Hrrmph. If that were true, I might actually buy some of the stuff they advertise!

Now Nikki's 'splainin' about new media.
thank the goodness Diane Rehm isn't hostessing today. I'm pretty sure she just wouldn't get it...at length.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

One of the WGA people wrote WHEDONesque to say the people at the ME Day donated a ton of food for an LA food bank. A literal ton.

:waves pompoms. realises she is English, and thus roughly as convincing a cheerleader as Stephen Fry. also, has no pompoms. waves cleavage instead::
Ok, I know that this was a while ago, and comments were made already, but still, I would follow Fay anywhere.

So, I got this e-mail at work today:
Dear Colleague:
Earlier this year, NBC Universal and News Corp. announced plans to create a joint-venture video-streaming website, Hulu.com, which would serve as "one-stop shopping" for consumers interested in accessing high-quality TV shows and movies on the Internet, and for advertisers interested in reaching those consumers.
We are very excited about this new venture, which will launch early next year. It contains an immense library of TV shows and films from nearly three dozen studios and production companies. We think this has the potential to be a real game-changer in the online video market.*
I’m happy to offer you a sneak peek at the site. And once you’re there … the Hulu team is eager to hear your feedback. Your experience will enable us to further refine the site and make sure it offers an unbeatable customer experience.
Click here to get started. Please note that Hulu videos are only available to users located in the United States.
Hope you enjoy Hulu and thank you for your feedback.
Signed,
Jeff Zucker President and CEO, NBC Universal

Anywho, I checked it out. I can watch everything from 30Rock to Firefly at no cost, but I do have to put up with 3-4 30 second commercials from a single advertiser (Toyota, in the case of the Firefly episode I watched.)
Also, if there is an "online video market", then there is money changing hands. So much for the studios/networks saying there isn't any money to be made in online videos.

Tim's assistant just dropped off a crate of the masters of everything Tim has written since he started on Angel.
There were two car trips to get all the binders. Holy butt.
Tim's gonna have a lot of signing to do!!!
