I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

And, you know- dead. She's got the pity thing working for her. To accuratly gauge the two, you'd have to kill Jaye and see how she deals with it.

Of course, we are talking about Tim. Jaye's death may have been the planned season 2 arc.

well, George got on my nerves in the beginning with her unwillingness to deal with being a reaper. She kept acting like she was killing people.

Hey. New board.

Jaye's death may have been the planned season 2 arc.

Awww.... now I want it even MORE.

Totally. They'd be all "Dude, there are repurcussions for doing this wrong.", and she'd still be all "Dude, I don't wanna." Then cry for not doing it and there being repurcussions, like it was a surprise.

But I really grew to like her as she came to terms with things a little more. I ended the season will full out George appriciation.

I just have a bigger love for Jaye.

oh, me too. It was just hard going for a while. Of course, I think that being a reaper would be cool, so I have a slightly different perspective.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Also, one has to remember, George is an 18-yo slacker. She's not curious, she's not invested, she's not, well, anything. She's more of a slacker than Jaye is, who at least had the incentive to stick it out through an Ivy League education. George dropped out partway through her first semester, right?

So I accept that George would have a hard time adjusting, especially since Rube isn't much with the explanations.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

There's an element of will that's almost entirely absent in George, whereas Jaye seems to have received her portion in addition to what she was naturally due. I feel a certain sympathy for George, but I wouldn't want to be around that level of wishy-washyness. Jaye, on the other hand, strikes me as fun to hang around with and snark on passers-by.

Just low blood sugar. Ate a Snickers. Thanks for coming.

One of the things I love about DLM is that through the course of the season, you can see George start to realize some of these things about herself, and what a waste that was. She starts to open up and let people in, and find some things worth sticking around for, and kind of starts to see being a reaper less as a curse than as an opportunity for a second chance at life.

I love arc-y stuff like that, and I really can't wait to see where season 2 is going to go. I think they planted the seeds for some really interesting possibilities, and it ought to be a lot of fun to watch.

There's a lot more pain, and a bigger struggle with bigger obstacles, and I find that more interesting than Jaye's situation, which seems to be more of an annoyance.

If Jaye ignores the talking animals, they keep her up all night singing. If George doesn't do her job, she may cease to exist. I'd still love to see another season of Wonderfalls, because they're both great, but I like DLM better. Maybe it's the swearing. I think Jaye would swear a lot if she was on Showtime instead of Fox.

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.

So I am sitting here in my daughters hospital room trying to make the time pass way by watching Wonderfalls.

The baby is asleep, its so quiet and all I can think of is why they canceled this show. Then it hits me, its really was just too good. It never had a chance. The characters leap off the screen, most of the storylines are hilarious and Lee Pace makes me giggle (is that a giggle?)on the inside .

Makes me sad. Watching Muffin Buffalo right now.. Then on to Lovesick Ass. I am not one to re-watch shows and movies over again but there is just something different in this case.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's official. Gail Berman has no soul.
