I'm partial to "Tim Minear: Pray to your big, filthy monkey god" myself, but I think it's a minority view so far.
No, no - that works for me.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I really liked Plei's idea of the ever changing kill count, though.
But, it's not a Wonderfalls thread.
If you want to make it cumulative, that'd be funny.
We could just call it Minear's Butcher's Bill: 28 Victims and Counting
Now, who's anal enough to check back through Zorro for the headcount?

If Kristen doesn't have that information at her fingertips, she's dead to me.

Hee. Me too, though I'm partial to the full quote.

Like this too. And it would be less spoilery if it changed, since you wouldn't necessarily know if someone on WF kicked or we somehow discovered extra bodies in Tim's screenwriting 101 term paper.

Well, how dead are we talking? Are we only counting recurring characters deaths? Or does every non-speaking 5th vamp to the right get credit?
Also, are we only including episodes that Tim is credited with writing? Or eps that he really did write but wasn't credited?
This is a complicated question you're asking.

Also, I can't count anything pre-L&C. So if he killed 197 people on Zorro, I don't have that info.

Yep.
Or does every non-speaking 5th vamp to the right get credit?Eh, if that were the case, A lot of writers would even out in the Chump Kill.
I'm thinking HSQ deaths, recurring characters, and if the man wants to start bragging about zorro, then he can count 'em his own damn self.
Or eps that he really did write but wasn't credited?
Now this is sketchy. Because I would bet my last cookie that the Firefly engine death by julienne incident was all Minear. And also the War Stories one where the dude fell down that Death Star well and got sliced up like lunch meat.

Man. I'd feel so cheated if the last few years of Tim's work was influenced by a midnight Arby's run.
