This is what I get for not owning the DVDs. I should buy myself a set, soon.

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.
It's the one where Angel gets jealous of Groo cause he's dressing up like Angel, and there's the Internet tree. I think it's the one that ends with THE FATHER WILL KILL THE SON.
I should buy myself a set, soon.
You should. The S3 set has some great extras. The Page-to-Screen featurette is really damn cool, and it's where Tim taught me how to say "reprise" correctly. Or wait, maybe that was somewhere else. But he made funny faces. You'll like it.
Oh yeah, it was a baby episode. I blocked out a lot of baby episodes. And Connor episodes. And St. Cordy episodes. They hurt me.
I'm not sure why I feel compelled to defend Joss's honor on Happy Anniversary, or if not defend, at least question how much of that was his fault, but I guess I do, because I feel compelled to note that HA was also Greenwalt. Joss & Greenwalt are both credited on the story, and then Greenwalt gets sole teleplay credit. I think of Tomorrow, and I'm just not all ready to put the blame on Mame for Happy Anniversary.
Okay. Can I blame it on the Bossa Nova instead?
You could blame it on Rio.
Wow, DX, get out of my head.
I'm still amazed that Tim gets a shot at his own baby by such ass backwards means.
I blame the whole world for "Happy Anniversary." But it, and S4 of Buffy, and Firefly, convinced me that it while Whedon might love sci-fi (as opposed to pure fantasy), it was a bad, unhealthy love, and sci-fi should consider getting a restraining order.
"Couplet" is around the time I was thinking about quitting, so that's probably a fairly miserable recap. In whichever sense you prefer.
Was "Happy Anniversary" the one where the guy's body parts came off? Tell again the tale of the sorcerer who could remove his limbs at will!
