I love this book more than a man should love anything made of paper, but I wonder if even the Mig could capture this kind of genius again. Maybe we’re better off with one flawless diamond than a gaggle of lesser gems.

Curse you Sci-Fi for not picking this up. David Hyde Pierce was brilliant!

Yeah, the pilot was on TV. I saw it. I loved it. Sci-Fi should have picked it up!

Sci-Fi actually premiered the animated version on their website, with a survey at the end asking whether you’d watch such a show. Apparently, those of us who thought it was great were in the minority, though, because I’m not actually sure the pilot ever aired on television.

Also, Brian Fuller’s absolutely brilliant. I hear great things about Pushing Daisies this fall, though I suspect I’ll miss his presence on Heroes, and that Pushing Daisies, like every other Fuller project, will be fantastic and no one will watch.
