I'm partial to "Tim Minear: Pray to your big, filthy monkey god" myself, but I think it's a minority view so far.
Hee. Me too, though I'm partial to the full quote.
We could just call it Minear's Butcher's Bill: 28 Victims and Counting
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.
Fruity Pebbles:
or we somehow discovered extra bodies in Tim's screenwriting 101 term paper.
Also, I can't count anything pre-L&C. So if he killed 197 people on Zorro, I don't have that info.
This is a complicated question you're asking.
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.
I wonder if he gets his ideas at the deli?
Man. I'd feel so cheated if the last few years of Tim's work was influenced by a midnight Arby's run.
"Yeah, I'll take 4 Beef and Cheddars, some curly fries.......You ever actually put anyone in that meat shaver???"
Hasn't he sliced a couple of people's ears off?
Did he take Lindsey's hand? Does dismemberment count?
Man. I'd feel so cheated if the last few years of Tim's work was influenced by a midnight Arby's run.
Do not dis Tim's muse! That's the beauty of art. You look at roast beef and think, "Mmmmmm. Midnight snack." Tim looks at roast beef and thinks, "You know, if a demon with retractable blades on his fingers got a hold of a human thigh..."
Go Fluffy Bunny! Choose Fluffy Bunny!
Tim's NEVER been a monkey man in my recollection.
