I thought it was the Lee Pace/Wonderfalls connection to Minear rather than just that it looks Wonderfallian.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If Pushing Daisies goes there, why not Heroes?
Because Fuller only wrote for Heroes. He didn't create it and cast an actor from Wonderfalls as the lead. I'm not saying it's a perfect fit, but it seems a natural enough fit to me, with the Wonderfalls connection.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I get it in the sense that it looks a lot like Wonderfalls. As did Dead Like Me.
Maybe we should've had a Fullerverse thread. I like his stuff.
Yeah, having seen the pilot, it seems that most of what I liked about Wonderfalls had more to do with Fuller than Minear. I'd just as soon see it in Boxed Set.

My biggest issue is that unless you're seriously up on the meta, how would it even occur to you to look there for that show?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah--Pushing Daisies might rock in any million ways, but what's the organic (you know what I mean) change you'd make to the thread title, slug, and header to indicate its discussion would be in Minearverse?

This would be my issue as well. I have no idea who Fuller is and don't understand why he deserves his own universe.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think you lie, Nutty. I think you have an idea who Fuller is.

Stupid question. What is discussed in Minearverse these days?

Nothing much. We're probably a good year away from a new Tim show. (If it even gets ordered to series.)
As I said before, when this came up a few weeks ago, I think PD may be discussed in more than one thread. Some people will want to discuss PD in Minearverse, some will want to discuss it in Boxed Set and some will want to talk about it in Natter. I assumed that was okay, given that we don't all use the board in the same way.
ETA:

Heroes has come up from time to time in Minearverse. Not huge discussion but it has been mentioned.

Me, too. I didn't mean to imply that it wouldn't be discussed in boxset. It's just that it already has been discussed in Minearverse, so it seems strange to assume it won't be once it starts airing.
