Red Right Hand: I FOUND BURIED TREASURE.

I FOUND BURIED TREASURE.

Allow me to advocate piracy for a moment.

Yarr.

I feel no guilt at all in using the mighty BitTorrent to download something when it is something that has been denied me. The Global Frequency pilot for one. Now, this intarweb thingy has given me another gift.

You may recall (though probably not) a little TV series that ran for a few weeks last summer called The Inside. Developed by Tim Minear (he of the many great series what were yanked out from under him). It featured Peter Coyote as the most delightfully devious FBI boss ever in a show about serial killer-hunters that was more about Coyote's character trying to-- I dunno --control the soul of a pre-Alias Rachel Nichols.



It was maybe a hard sell to a crowd that knows only Law and Order and CSI. It was mismanaged by Fox (and they admit it) and it was predictably yanked after seven episodes.

Now, Britain's ITV is running the thirteen completed episodes and they've hit the ones that were, as I say, denied me. And what better (and somewhat sick) way to get started anew with this series that with a "psycho dead-baby thief" story co-written by Jane Espenson. Thank you, ITV. Thank you, TV pirates. Thank you, Tim and Jane (and everyone else involved in making the show).

I really wasn't a fan of this when it aired last year, and it wasn't because Fox didn't give it a chance. I got hold of all the episodes up to nine (I think Fox pulled it after five), and I found it rather disappointing. Still, I might tune in to Edlund's episode when it comes around.

It was interesting to me- if a little convoluted. I love the fact that I have ridden the subway they were on in one episode and gotten off at the same station downtown.

Kind of creeped me out when I saw that one...

I have to admit, now that all the episodes have aired, that The Inside definitely picked up pace as it went on, and began to win me over. I'd have liked to see what they could have done with a full season order.

There are draft scripts of many of the produced eps at Tim Minear.et
