"antepenultimate" is indeed lovely, but "brilliant" is dead wrong.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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

If I only had a brain...
I am just dumbstruck by Greenwalt trapped in the Graveyard of Lost TV Shows, howling "Piiiiiiillllottt" to an unforgiving wind.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
She was actually going to be exec producing TC, if I recall, and she said at a conference that she'd read the TWoP recaps to see what kinds of things needed to be changed.
So she hasn't been involved with it from the beginning? That would make much more sense.
And re: that undiscussable episode mentioned above: I don't see how someone with vision and hearing could get "good" when compared to other eps, much less "brilliant." Clearly, this writer is worth ignoring, except for a quick scan for cool words.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I still like the Italian episode, though I didn't think it was brilliant.

It kicked the mythology in the teeth.
[Edit: "Fool For Love" took the mythology and turned it into a Möbius strip, and it worked. The mythology was deeper and richer and more true than before. "The Girl In Question" just said "Nyaah nyaah!"]

It felt like it was kicking me in the teeth.

Trust my rage
I liked TGIQ, but agree with Betsy on the mythology thing. But I still liked it.
