My fondness for Josh Friedman is battling with my dislike for Nick Stahl. Which will win?!!
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

I kinda like Nick Stahl. I do not like Joe Hill. A friend loaned me Heart-Shaped Box to read and: woof. After a couple of chapters I was skimming. After a couple more I flipped to the last third, on the premise that if peaking ahead made it seem more interesting, I would go back and read the rest of the thing.
So I returned it the next day.
He is probably a better stylist than his dad, but that's a low bar. It was a very Stephen King book, with individual scenes that were effectively creepy in a book that seemed to have more padding than a couple of sofas. And characterization that relied heavily on revelations about abusive parents because I guess that's still a surprising twist to someone in the world? Ugh.
I cannot spell names today for some reason.

Oh, that's disappointing about Joe Hill's books. I'm hoping a good show-runner can take the premise and develop the characters further independently. Not sure whether Friedman is going to be on board for the long-haul, but if he signs on as the show-runner, I'm going to give the show a chance just to see him do his thing. [/still not over TSCC being cancelled]
Every time I see Nick Stahl, I have to curb an urge to yell out, "YOUNG MAN, stand up straight! And go take a bath!"

Heh. So you watched Carnivàle, then?

Yeap. It really took me out of the show to watch him make out with various women, 'cause I kept thinking how bad he must be smelling. I didn't have that problem with Jonsey, but y'know - it's Tim DeKay.
It makes me laugh to think of Friedman working with Nick Stahl given the Terminator connection, esp. via this vid: [link]

If he'd taken a bath on Carnivàle he'd have needed someone to rescue him from the resultant tub full of mud.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
OMG Fringe! I anticipated the key plot points, but damn the revelation was intense. I did not anticipate finding a line Walternate won't cross. That was interesting.

I've been mainlining Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood on Hulu. This series is so much better than the first one! Much better use of the core characters, but I think they have introduced so many that it will be a heck of a resolution! I'm about at Episode 36, I think.
