'Lineage'
[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!
I'm willing to give the show a chance. I'm very open to a wide variety of "entertainment" options. After all, I still watch CSI: Miami.
But I will give Dollhouse super mondo bonus points if they don't do any episodes involving a strike or featuring a picket line because, OMIGOD, TV writers, stop it already.
I... will see, I guess.
Which is basically what Tamara and Libkitty said. I will watch with interest, although I find the premise, as stated, extremely skeevy and dubious.
In the meantime, I have Deadwood.
I think the fact the premise description includes the word 'awakening' suggests it's about fighting the squick. Or that the show's about getting up really, really early.
I think in terms of raw entertainment there's huge potential. Although I think the person I saw online suggesting they load Echo with the personality of a vampire slayer called Faith might have taken it a little bit too far.
Kristen, have there been strikes? I guess there was one on House, but it seemed like a bad afterthought. Have there been others that I missed?
There was a strike that led to a murder on Law & Order last night.
Oh, I'll watch at least the first ep. I mean, otherwise, what will I post about?
Cutiepie Dylan pics!
Umm as long as they are not writers strikes, I'd like to see more strikes on TV. Cause you know part of life, and there are still enough "ties to union equals ties to gangsters" out there that I'd like see more stuff with organized labor as good guys.
It was definitely Steve DeKnight. I remember him posting about it. A lot. Joss let it make it to the air like that, though. Still, "Daddy's putting the hammer down," and "Aim for the horsies," made it worth it for me.
I'm an IN Joss I Trust Enough To Give It A Fair Shot sort of Joss fan. Joss has a new series? I make grabby hands. I won't stay just because it's Joss, though. I agree that the premise sounds really, really icky, but I know that's sort of Joss's point. Eliza's character is all about awakening to exploitation. I expect Joss to manage the incoherent text well -- if I'm disappointed, I imagine it will be because of that expectation.
It was definitely Steve DeKnight.
indeed. Ultimate Drew didn't join the staff until season 7, which seems hard to believe.
"Aim for the horsies"
