Sad to hear about Drive's numbers. I had a bad feeling going into this that this might happen. Tim is a great writer, but he excels at the slow build to a great plot. Most people nowadays seem to want instant gratification and are too impatient to stick around for the payoff.

I have been talking about Drive on some of the other boards I visit. I will go by and hype it today and this weekend to see if I can steer some more people towards Drive this coming Monday.

I'm enjoying watching Drive, i'm finding it pretty interesting.

Also i love spotting the little nod's to us firefly fans, for example in episode 3 "you don't want to meet the real alex tully" is clearly a nod to "do you want to meet the real me now?" or atleast im taking it as one.

Is anyone else having troubles watching Drive on Myspace?
I am in Canada, and I know it will not work for Canadians, but I am going through an anonymous U.S proxy and I still can't get it to work.
Anyone Fellow Canadian Browncoats find a way to watch it on Myspace...please share your fruity oat bar goodness with me.

but that might just be me. i don't know anything about cars, i have no interest in cars, and have no desire to learn about cars. i don't overly enjoy racing, or chase scenes, and, i may be wrong, i've only seen the commercials, but that seems to be the bread and butter of drive.
that doesnt mean i'm glad the show isn't doing well. i would love to see it fly through the roof, but i'm not going to watch it. maybe when it's on i'll just turn my tv on and go do something else.

I think the main thing is that this is a mystery series--that is, things are slowly revealed from week to week about the characters and about the situation. Think Lost, but on the freeway. And Drive isn't about the race anymore than Lost is about the island. It's about the slow reveal of the mystery. Trouble is, people bought into Lost right away, partly because they hyped the mystery. They didn't do that with Drive--they just hyped the race. So I guess it's a wait-and-see game to see if Drive gets enough audience to keep going. Poor Nathan: could he really take getting cut off at the knees again?

I don't actually watch TV anymore, just DVDs of shows I hear a lot about (like FF), and I had no interest in the Fast & the Furious movies, (although I wore out one DVD player running Steve McQueen's Le Mans about 237 times (See, I was 8 when that movie first came out, and it sorta left an impression.)), but I would watch Drive just for Fillion's acting & Minear's writing!

Sorry, but I think this is good news. This show is not very impressive to me. I can't buy many of these characters as real people. I'm believing the daughter, the army wife and the ex-con. The rest aren't realistic at all. The reason they aren't realistic is this dumb race premise. They really needed to find a better premise.

So, basically I'm hoping this show gets the axe. That way Nathan can find a better role to play and I can stop watching Fox.

Drive is as much about cars, as Firefly was about spaceships.

It's about what Drives people, not about what they drive. try the first 3 episodes here http://www.myspace.com/driveonfox
if it's not your bag, fine, but at least try it before you dismiss it.

I'm enjoying it, too. Which leads me to the question: What do we call ourselves? "Drive" fans, I mean. We should come up with a nickname like Browncoats or X-Philes while we have the chance. But what? The Driven? The Shotgun Callers? Drive Wires? Let's hear some suggestions!
