Well, many businesses spend large amounts of money to make large amounts of money beth. FOX is a good example. I'm cool with thinking they're purely around to profit. In fact, I think I'd prefer that.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
True, I just like a little conspiracy in my TV shows.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Side note: the little riff that Eliza sang for the "audition" is stuck in my head. Is that a real song, or something that they wrote for the show?
I was wondering the same thing. I noticed that the writers were Joss's brother & sister-in-law (forgot their names), who wrote music for Dr. Horrible (right?), so it wouldn't surprise me if the song was written for the show.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I can split that hair, ita. Taffy was playing the part of a stripper, so she had to be sexy during those parts, but once she got down to business, she was less provocative.
Little side note: I actually found Taffy *more* sexy once she got down to business, and much more sexy than any other personality Echo has been imprinted with so far--she was just pure low-key snarky confidence and breezy self-assured pleasure in her own safecracking competence. Happy, mellow confident competence (okay, and tight pants and killer boots), way sexier than short skirts and cleavage.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
And give Paul something to do other than running around shouting at people
And now I have the sudden fear that Tahmoh is going to suffer the same fate as Jamie Bamber's Apollo on BSG.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The hair I'm splitting draws no correlation between acting sexy and being sexy. Taffy had to be sexual for the setup to their con, whether you/we found it attractive or not.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Maybe they were famous...Angelina flew her Ob-Gyn from LA to France, after all.
That was my thought. Someone guaranteed to not spill stories or photos to the tabloids. The forgetting aspect could be the major draw for many of the clients.
So far, I like Gray Hour best.

Dollhouse is off the schedule for April 17th, Prison Break is getting a 2 hour start. I've asked FOX when DH will return, waiting to hear back.

...The following week. So it's just shuffled out the way to relaunch the cancelled Prison Break.
Final episode of first season airs the same day as the FOX upfronts, I believe. Fun!

Art Crawl!!!
Kevin, are they doing 2 hours of Prison Break on the 17th? And then moving it to the first hour the next week?
