Today I researched the Patriot Act, the fourth amendment, and Executive Order 12333.
Ooh, fun! What did you find? Anything good?
Surely I didn't say that out loud, did I??!
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[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.

no such thing as too snarky. too pathetic? hard to say. :-D
We'll see. I couldn't come up with what I had before, but here's a reasonable facsimile, although not as good it ended up pretty bad:
So, has anyone noticed that we haven't seen Tim around here lately? Please, come back, Tim! We can talk about
Moon,
and beagles, and
Serenity
spoilers rumors. Oh, wait. You have a life. Writing. Making us love characters. Killing them. Kind of like Joss. As you were. Keep writing. We wait with bated breath. Okay, not bated, but we're waiting!
So, how does that end up on the pathetic scale? Too much? I just can't wait for more good writing, whatever the name.
Edited because even though the formatting rules are easy, I just keep getting them wrong.

Actually, I've feeling a wee bit peckish...
lol... Yeah it has been sad to drop down. I haven't posted either. I always seem to kill a sub thread when I comment.
So... I suppose this might end the pathetic talk or something...

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Keeping up with the Minearverse chatter- I sat friends down to watch the Dead Like Me pilot, and when they agreed it was really good, hit 'em with the old "Good. Wonderfalls is a zillion times better." line. They have agreed to sit and watch it with me (after I lock myself in a room to watch the whole set so's I'm not disturbed by all the talking and breathing and such.). I feel I've gained tv show cred in their Friends worshipping eyes.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's prolly good. Usually when we don't hear from Tim it's when he's, you know, working.

Indeed. It's what I meant in the less pathetic part of my post. How sad is it that I'm anxiously awaiting Moon, which is based on a book I didn't even like.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Maybe I missed the conversation whilst skipping about, but Dead Like Me has effectively sated at least part of my craving for more Wonderfalls.
There are many points of comparison, and looking at them both you get a great view of Brian Fuller's interests. Notably both are strongest in their family dynamics. The lead in DLM, George, is less likeable than Jaye (at least in the beginning) - and I do think that Caroline has a bit more to bring to her character. But I liked George more and more as the series progressed.
Anyway, if you're jonesing for more, you might consider it. It's like methadone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Huh. I watched and enjoyed both DLM and Wonderfalls, and never thought they were anything alike. Except for me wanting to smack both lead characters several times.

Really? Both center around a very cynical, intelligent young woman who is disengaged with life, and is forced through supernatural agency to become involved with messy humans. Also both have weirdly dysfunctional but loving families and depressing going nowhere dayjobs. Also the tone is very similar (though Wonderfalls is a bit more comic) and the visuals.
