[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.

Punishingly Intricate

We've known since late May that DVDs are a go, and I think public acknowledgement from the producers (at the screenings in LA and San Diego) makes it pretty damn official. Is it too much to ask that someone whose job is to know all about TV actually provides accurate information?

You should write and tell her! I think she's pretty responsive to email and, as a fan of the show, would be happy to share the news.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with meaning? What does that mean?

I've actually written her three (I believe) e-mails about Wonderfalls and SaveWonderfalls since she started bemoaning the cancellation in her column/chat (and some other fans wrote her about the site, too), but she didn't respond or mention anything about a fan campaign on E!Online, even when fans asked in her chat how they could help (she just gave them an address for FOX and for the WB so they could complain/ask Levin to take the show). I dunno.

Sumi, I just asked Bryan about the EW thing, and he says "I think they misprinted, but that was a nice little article." He hasn't heard anything about a change from the December 7 date.

Thanks Cranberry!

I mean, it's only a month later -- but from here it feels like forever.

Who is moving to Cabo with me?

Me! We're having such warm weather this year, I almost feel like I'm there already, except, alas, no Wonderfalls or Firefly on Fox (We do have a fair amount of Angel and Buffy reruns though.)

I had exactly the same reaction. See how quickly I went from "Yay, DVDs!" to "Whaddayemean January?" Then I went back to "Yay, DVDs!" for fear of spoiling the good karma. Or something like that.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.

Anyone remember getting excited about the fall TV lineup instead of the next great DVD release? How far they have fallen.

Certainly no fall lineup anticipation for me this year. It's funny. As recently as last year, there were some new shows of interest. I have a few returning shows that I would kind of like to see new episodes of, but nothing earthshattering.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've totally gone over to the DVD sets. Aside from ME, I've invested in Homicide, Northern Exposure, Freaks and Geeks, Wonderfalls.

I'll probably get Carnivale and Deadwood when they come out.

I'm still anticipating Lost, if for no other reason than seeing how closely producers follow the real-life Survivor 7 example regarding Matthew Fox's clothes.

Mildly curious about Lost because of Dominic Monaghan (did I spell that right?). But the show itself doesn't look promising, so I'm conflicted.
