The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death

Film and TV discussion

[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!

So that Hollywood Reporter article we were discussing two days ago. I mentioned I thought this was odd:

Over at Fox, J.J. Abrams "Fringe" looks like a lock after an enthusiastic response from the network's brass during the weekend. Fox already has given its blessing for staffing to begin on the Warner Bros. TV-produced sci-fi drama.

From today's THR:

Drama "Fringe," which already is staffed, continues to be the surest bet at Fox, along with Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse."

Final analysis: THR. On crack since 1930.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

What medication do you give people with multiple personality disorder? That is what THR needs.

I even looked to see if maybe they were written by different people or something. But no, same byline.

Now that is just ridiculous.

And I will eat my hat if Dollhouse is announced as a mid-season show next week.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Man, they got that show staffed FAST.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Well, I saw something in the Boston Globe that Eliza was filming Dollhouse, so I was wondering why she'd be filming something now that was going to be midseason.

Of course, it was a gossipy bit on whether she's actually dating Seth McFarlane or not, so take it for what it's worth.

Art Crawl!!!

Maybe they started filming fast to get some stuff done before the actors go on strike. After all, hadn't they filmed all or most of SCC in the summer/early fall of last year? And it didn't air 'til January.

Generally speaking, mid-season network shows go to work around the same time as fall shows. The exception to that rule are usually any series ordered after the upfronts, like Drive.

Hey. New board.

whatever Rob Thomas puts out there.

That would be this Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff that, bog willing, will be paired with Gossip Girl for two hours of catty awesomeness next year.

Thomas has stopped working on the 90210 pilot. He is focusing on the Cupid 2.0 pilot and the Outrageous Fortune pilot both for ABC. That doesn't bode well for the 90210 show and I wasn't able to stomach GG after a few episodes so I guess I won't really be missing out there.

I'll give 90210 a shot, but my expectations are incredibly low on anything coming out on CW. I'm glad Reaper seems to be getting picked up and I'll always watch the Winchester Boys, but other than that, CW as a network, needs to be canceled.
