A clarification
Tim Minear
"invalidated" I didn't in any way mean that his point of view is not valid or
that he's "wrong." I happen to think he's a very smart guy who has terrific
perception. My comment was meant strictly and only from *my* point of view --
in terms of what he says having validity *for the guy that he's criticizing.*
If that makes the least bit of sense.
Let me see if I can use words to transmit ideas...
From the point view of the writer, me, since I don't agree with what he's
saying in his latest review which happens to be a slam, it sort of obligates me
to season with salt any head-swelling praise from him for past efforts. To not
be sober about this, as the writer, would be crazy making.
I kind of have a unique relationship to his reviews of my own work that others
would not have. And no matter what any viewer's individual tastes may be, I
gotta just keep churning out the junk food.

You know, I reckon you've got quite a talent for that. Getting your point
across clearly 'n stuff. Ever thought of turning pro? :-)

Indeed. And not that we want your head to swell, or anything, since that
sounds painful - but for the record, most people I've shown that review to
have gone 'huh?'. With, say, 'That Old Gang Of Mine' it was like, 'OK, I
see his point'. But here? People wonder if they saw the same episode.

Know what? Me too. In fact, David seemed to like that ep A LOT more than I
ever did. Interesting, that.

li- ahhh, found that the direction that later seasons of 'Lois and
Clark' took was not to my liking that in no way was meant to suggest
that Tim Minear, the male Glorificus, was in any way to blame.
And when I say 'the male Glorificus', I don't mean to suggest that Tim
keeps small hobbits enslaved to attend to his merest whim or does
weird things with snakes.

Yep. And still was in late September, so.... And there's 'Darla', as
well, also linked to somewhere on one of those transcript-y pages.

Tell me about it. It's taken all my willpower not to say anything. :-)
