[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
The line producer is the person in charge of keeping the other producers from going over budget.
During my brief time on K-Ville, we called Kelly from the writers room to ask if we could blow up a seaplane. He said we could but, sadly, we never got the chance.
What, you had authorization to blow stuff up, and somehow you let a little thing production suspension stop you? One the last day of shooting, you could have just had the seaplane crash into the last set/location after shooting was done!
How often do you get to blow up seaplanes? I think it would have been the only seaplane explosion of the season, unless Men in Trees has shifted it's tone from the pilot I saw.

you know - I see a whole lot of plot lines involving the blowing up of stuff should be coming to bear about now... you all deserve it.
Huh. Apparently one of my friends from work has been asked to be the new showrunner for Dexter and is leaving school as of today. He's invited me (and ND) down to watch an episode shoot. Shiny! First good news I've gotten all month.
And don't ask me why I'm posting here--I think I just think of this as the writer/showrunner thread. Plus crafts.
Whoa, that's extremely cool, Kristin. And quite an extreme transition for your friend, I must say. Probably not so extreme in LA, but still, that must an interesting exit interview.
"Yes I'm leaving my job of shaping young minds so I can warp the minds of people en masse."
Not really a transition--he's been in Hollywood for years. He was doing theatre here part time just for the year during the strike.
ETA: And yeah, we had a good talk about the rabid nature of Dexter fans. Pretty funny.
I know Polter-Cow (I think) had expressed concerns when it was announced the current showrunner was leaving. Sounds like it is in good hands.
I wonder what Dexter would look like being run by Minear...
Dead.
Rita would so have killed herself by now.
