A new part, yay! *bouncebouncebounce*
But. Must admit, am simultaneously happy and sad to see this one, because now there's only the eighth and final installment to go!
Still, we'll not dwell on my "Inside Scoop" separation anxiety. Instead, onto FDK!
The production meeting was stellar fun as always. This bit in particular:
"They still hate Dan. A lot. Regulars and new viewers alike. He's become their new punching bag."
"Well, his contract isn't up yet, but we don't need him any more for this story. Right, Timmy?"
"He did have a few lines, but I can get rid of them easily enough."
"Fair enough," Paul said. "We'll take care of him next episode, then."
Hah! But, oh, poor "Call-me-Daniel" Scardino. He's so easy to dislike, and I just have to sympathize with him if no one else will.

When you do away with him and his unfortunate fashion sense, at least give his closetful of Hawaiian shirts a proper Viking funeral? Do him that justice, at least!
And your Tempus had me laughing out loud with this line:
"Curse you, you big blue meddling boy scout!"
*lurves*
Fantastic, Paul. This has been such a fun read -- thanks for bringing it out of your brain and onto the boards.
