It’s Not Nathan Fillion’s Fault that 24 Sucks
Fox canceled Drive after only two weeks. Drive wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever seen on television, but it was compelling and had potential. A good show is given no possibility of success, and yet, Fox keeps crap like The War at Home on for two seasons. How many American Idols have we been through now? This isFirefly, John Doe, The Lone Gunmen and The Tick all over again.
And another thing! Fox claims that 24’s ratings were affected by it’s time slot next to Drive and showed a significant dip last week, the lowest ratings the Jack Bauer Super Power Hour has gotten in three or four years. Fox, have you considered that maybe, JUST MAYBE, 24’s ratings dropped because the show sucks? It used to be good, and now it sucks. Audrey’s been brainwashed, there’s some idiot savant involved, Chloe’s ex-husband is a drunk, the former first lady is a wackjob and Jack never eats or pees.

But, I digress. I was looking forward to another weekly dose of Nathan Fillion, AKA Captain Tightpants.
Am I just out of touch? Tim Minear had something different with Drive. There could have been a new race with a new cast each season, with characters from the previous season showing to up to thwart the race. It’s car chases and character drama and action and mystery. And it’s freakin’ Nathan Fillion! Minear and Fillion are clearly a couple of FX guys in a Fox world.
There are still two episodes of Drive that haven’t been aired. According to the Fox website, they’ll be aired on an undisclosed date over the summer. Can we just get those last two episodes on iTunes so I can download them and get some closure? You never give me closure, Fox. You get me all worked up about something cool, then you take it away and give me more American Idol.

*Hugs Captain Tightpants doll again*
Oh Nathan! Why do you keep going back to that Fox harlot! Fox doesn’t love you like I do. Whyyyyyy?
*Sob*
Captain Tightpants is in a movie called “Waitress” later this year. Here’s a trailer for it. It looks kind of cute.
I am so pissed. I finaly had something interesting to watch before Heroes and with Captain Tightpants.sigh. I knew this was gonna happen its Fox, its like those people have A.D.D. I’m with tricksterchick I need some closer I wish they would just post it on Itunes and get it over with.
Why doesn’t Jack Bauer Pee? Does he have a catherter bag taped to his leg? It’s just unhealthy that he doesn’t pee once in 24 hours. I know it’s not very exciting, but COME ON! Maybe he’s Bionic Jack? Will they reveal that in the last episode? I mean how many bad days can one person have?
I miss my captain already.
Maybe Tim and Nate can get Gunn to make a SLiTHER sequel, and in this one not only can Purdy get attacked by aliens, but fired, and pick up a drinking problem.
