the third-to-last ever episode of "My So-Called Life," the one with Our Town and the videotape and that Hallie Lowenthal person and "Yeah, she's always sayin' innocent stuff like that" and so much incredibly layered writing, so many full and fraught silences and knife-sharp words and perfect interweaving of the teens' and the adults' story and character arcs. Perfect.
Is that
Betrayal
? According to TvTome, that's episode 17 of 19, aired 1/12/95. I recently DVRed the full run of MSCL off of the N. I've been putting off sitting down and watching them all for unspecified reasons having to do with things being really and truly over, but I looked up the episode guide to be sure to get the order right.
Steph is dead to me.
La la la....
Butt Genie!!!
All right. THAT IS IT. You, young lady, can go straight to Worldcrossing on a HostRocket server, and you can sit there and think about what you've just said, and not come back until you're able to post like a civilized human being.

I only hope you're proud. You made your JZ cry. What a BIG, BIG girl you are!

You just wait till Consuela reads this! You just wait, missy. Then we'll see who's the butt genie!

Honey, your husband woke me up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday. If I have to take my revenge through you, then so be it....
I don't understand the butt genie bit, but I'll have y'all know that Pringles crumbs are now littering my laptop. Thank you very much.
I don't understand the butt genie bit
There was a character on the X-Files late in the run. He literally crawled up people's asses and took over their bodies. It was magic. He was an evil butt genie.
Ok, I think I remember that. I didn't watch that much X-Files later on, but it rings a bell.
Even if it didn't mean anything, I'd enjoy the phrase butt genie, though. I'll see what I can do to use it in a conversation tommorrow.

I especially liked the TWoP review. "So...he can make himself invisible. And he can climb through people's asses into their abdomens, and then reach down and put their pants back on."

Steph is DEAD TO ME.
I shall not share any porn I find with Steph. Or anything else. She does not exist.
In fact, I will go to her house and reprogram her cable box, so that when Casting Spoiler happens on Stargate next season, she won't get to see it.
