[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If you want to be technical, you could say that Tim's work appeared on Buffy...in Fool For Love.

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

I just got this impression from the article. First of all, he talks about "the kinds of shows Bryan and I do...". Then when asked about the "three chefs" working on one show, Tim only seems to refer to one other writer (Bryan?) as his writing partner, and finally he and Bryan leave the interview early leaving Todd to answer the remaining questions. I just got a weird sense that Tim and Todd weren't so tight. Of course I'm probably reading into stuff too deeply.

Um.

As a kid, if you wanted “visual” you would go with DC. If you wanted an afternoon of entertainment, you’d go to Marvel because it has a lot of text.

Heh. That pretty much summed up my opinion as a kid (too many years ago).

I went for Classics Illustrated for both.

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

Yeppers. Though, I don't live in their heads. They could either be plotting each other's deaths as we speak, or trading banana bread recipes over English Breakfast tea.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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.

BWAH! this would be great.

But I love Tim's work on Buffy!

By the way, my mom called her boyfriend Hulot, after the Hulot in M. Hulot's Holiday. At least she didn't juggle geese.

If I only had a brain...

Isn't that a bit like calling your boyfriend Mr. Bean?
