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.

[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.

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.

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

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!

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?

Which would have been better with body parts coming off.

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

I think I've ordered that drink by mistake.
