[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.

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

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.

So, previously on Angel, everybody got lovey-dovey, and lived in a magical happy land where nothing bad ever happened, and nobody had any reason to feel guilty or worry about the future, and the biggest problem facing the characters was how to get some nookie.

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.

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

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.

What is even happening?

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.

If I only had a brain...

Okay. Can I blame it on the Bossa Nova instead?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You could blame it on Rio.

Wow, DX, get out of my head.

Um.

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.

"Don' be e-scared"

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!

"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

Nope, some other hack wrote that one. The one we're talking about is the one where Abe Vigoda's clones wanted to destroy the world via depressingly bad porn.

How ya been lately, Tim?
