I had a terrible crossbite and more teeth than my mouth could comfortably hold. My single-mom couldn't swing ortho, so I had to wait until I was 23 to get my work done. I had to have six teeth removed including one they had to peel back the roof of my mouth to retrieve (TMI?) I wore braces for 3 years (they look lovely in my wedding photos) and I don't regret a moment of the pain or the $5K I paid.

But then again, I didn't have to have my jaw broken. A second opinion is always of the good.

Not on the topic of teeth, but I am so incredibly happy about the release date for Serenity. Not that I care so much that it's April 22nd, but that it's set and it's less than a year away! Yippeeee!

Back on teeth, I had one of those night guard things, but I think they fitted it too tight, because it caused pain rather than stopping it. So I quit. My cousin had jaw breaking surgery (they broke her jaw, pulled forward the lower jaw, and then chopped off her chin so it would be normal sized). I think she was pretty happy with it, after she recuperated. Sounds like no fun though. You have my sympathies, Allyson, whichever way you decide.

This has nothing to do with teeth.

"Muffin Buffalo" and "Lovesick Ass" are hilarious and they rock. It pisses me off more that they cancelled the show because it was getting better. Now I really really want the DVDs. (I would go into the spoiler thread to discuss things, but I haven't seen any of the others and I won't read scripts, so.)

And it's not necessary to read "Crime Dog," either. I didn't. They make vague references to the events of the episode, but the episodes stand on their own.

(Oh! I got to hear Cranberry's tagline! Yay!)

Lovesick Ass is gorgeous, yes. I was doing the toss up between popping that in while I write letters to folks, or Out of Gas. Going to do Out of Gas, methinks. It's one of the episodes of anything I can watch over and over, along with Fury's Helpless, Joss' Objects in Space, and, well, I can watch Strictly Ballroom and Priscilla Queen of the Desert on continuous loops and still laugh all the way through.

I agree with everything you just said, Allyson. Saw Lovesick Ass twice in a row at the F2F and enjoyed it just as much the second time as I did the first (if not more since I caught a lot more).

Also, Out of Gas is one of the most beautifully crafted hours of television I have ever seen.

Lovesick Ass is gorgeous

I know you love "Lovesick Ass," but I think I liked "Muffin Buffalo" more. Maybe cause there was more talking-animal action, and the scenes with Dr. Ron were a riot. It also had the First Unaired Episode Squee! advantage.

I really like his commentary on that episode. I don't know that I have a lot of specific episodes I watch over and over like that. The only one that comes to mind is "Doppelgangland," and that's because I recently ended up seeing it three times in the span of a few months, and it didn't get any less entertaining.

The film that I adore like that is Groundhog Day, and I haven't watched it in a long time. I only have a tape recorded off HBO, and it's such bad quality. I need to get the DVD. Also, Emperor's New Groove never fails to crack me up.

HA! My review of Out of Gas. I said some things that turned out to be horrendously embarassing once I found out that Tim was actually reading them.

Wouldn't take it back, though. Even my Captain Tightpants hate was way justified.

I like how you renamed "Bushwhacked" "The Reavers."

The silence can draw a sense of vast loneliness, wonder, or horror, depending on the mood of the episode. Here the silence is about

What is the silence about, Allyson? WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Watching Groundhog Day on continuous loop is too meta for me.

shhhh....
