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.

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

Wait until Spike appears with the amulet, and see how you feel then.

That would create maximum pain. Or maybe Becky will look at Web and say, "You're a champion, Web."

OK, point. But since I haven't fallen in love with Tim's show yet, at least his string of migrating to my favorite show and pushing all the more enjoyable supporting characters to the sidelines has been broken.

Unless, of course, Abrams & Lindelhof have a bigger surprise planned for what's behind the hatch Boone and Locke found than I'd previously anticipated.

You think there's a plan?

That's so cute. Come here so I can pinch your cutiepie cheeks, cutie.

I can't even.

He gets called Bone? Tell me that's not a typo, Matt. I find the show nearly unwatchable, but with really good snark, I could try it again. I guess. Damn, I need more stuff to do.

Bwah! Well, apparently there are two or three parallel plans, which alternate from one week to the next. With no communication between their respective originators.

With both Tim and Jane on the new series, I expect similar tonal shifts that nevertheless manage not to invalidate the characterization from previous weeks.

Oops! It's a typo, but perhaps my subconscious was trying to substitute "Bonehead" and only got halway there.

From what I've seen of the show, it seems that the Lost writers get to pull the cushions out of the couch in search of leftover low-grade crack and it just floooows from there.

There's a woman on the show making Nad's hair removal kits in a garden, I think. They have little food other than fruit, though no one but the fat guy gets the shits.

I have learned from LOST that pretty people don't EVER have runny poop, and they will find a way to wax their bikini areas, against all odds.

To be fair, it's reasonable to assume that Shannon isn't eating at all, and is instead feeding off the misery of all the people around her.

Wasn't there a demon who did that on Angel?

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

Okay, maybe she's a tree that's on the internet.
