I forgot about them. Probably has something to do with the lack of Andy Serkis. Makes anybody else in the role somehow unmemorable.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

[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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I don't remember any straight one-to-one plot duplications.
The near-death experience one was quite similar as well (I mean, in the set-pieces of breaking the script, although not in the in-between parts). I was a bit miffed that they duplicated the original so faithfully; I thought a departure would have been more interesting.
The funny part is, to my knowledge UK Touching Evil has been in print in series 1, and 3, but never 2. I remember 1 and 3, as they've been rebroadcast on public television within the last 3 years, but I can't remember a thing from series 2.

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

I think they get along well, why do you ask?

What is even happening?
And Tim Minear focused most of his career on the cult favorites X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly.
Hee. I suppose if you added up all the hours Tim's spent either saying, or thinking, "But I never worked on Buffy," we could say he's focused much of his career on it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Tim still worked on Buffy.
And January 2005, now? What?
Also, yay Todd Holland! Someone else who didn't think Brotherhood of the Wolf was hot shit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He keeps on denying it. What is he trying to hide?

We could get him a special t-shirt just to wear to interviews: My name is Tim Minear. I never worked on Buffy. Prepare to die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone else who didn't think Brotherhood of the Wolf was hot shit.
Obviously my POV is tainted with love of the movie, but he really thinks all French movies but one are deep?
Hell, he thinks Amelie (which I rather enjoyed) was deep?
