I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll see both before the end of the season, if it gets a full order&#8211;Fox only wants seven episodes to start.<\/p>\n<p>It would really tickle me if Joss and Tim &#8220;13 episodes&#8221; Minear would start treating their partial-season new-series orders as full story arcs, and write them like BBC series.  D and I just watched <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Jekyll<\/span>, and while it had some problems toward the end, it was a solid six-episode structure.  It was a complete series&#8211;nothing &#8220;mini&#8221; about it.  Get with it, American TV!  Less is more!
