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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From what little we've heard so far, it sounds like a re-make of 21 Jump Street.

From what little more I've heard, more like Roald Dahl's 21 Jump Street.

Or, no, wait -- Tim being dark. That's what I heard.

I admit I'm not much picky after that point.

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

Can I bet?

Only if you bet with me.

From what little we've heard so far, it sounds like a re-make of 21 Jump Street.

Tim gutted it. Kept Rachel, another actor, and the title, and changed the entire premise of the show.

It's no longer 21 Jump Street.

It's Silence of the Lambs.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Oh. I thought it was going to be The Lamb is a Harsh Mistress.

Only if you bet with me.

That's not going to be nearly as much fun. Nor as potentially profitable.

Kept Rachel, another actor, and the title, and changed the entire premise of the show.

You forgot the font. He kept the font.

"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

It's Silence of the Lambs.

It occurs to me that doing a Highway to Heaven treatment following a serial killer as he/she travels from town to town, charms residents, gets to know and understand a victim, then slaughters them mercilessly at the moment of maximum dramatic impact might just be the perfect match for Tim. Sort of the Anti-Fugitive.

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

Oy, Allyson. This sounds... cool.

But what if I found Silence of the Lambs too scary to watch more than once?

The status is NOT quo.

What 'Suela said! This is my worry too. It's Tim's show, so I will watch it, but I may be watching it at high noon with a blankie.

High noon with blankie pulled up over one eye may be the way to get through it, probably. I'm so excited! Yay good teevee again!

Yay!
