'Trash'
[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.
Oh! The internet tree! I forgot about the internet tree!
Seriously, our boy wrote the internet tree?
He did. Also, iirc he tried to tell us it was better than TOGOM.
Somewhere roundabout here, I think: Tim Minear "The Minearverse 2: Getting his words out." Apr 20, 2004 6:14:06 pm PDT
I remember it because it felt at the time like the bizzarest thing ever to be arguing the toss with the guy that wrote it. Then I remembered who killed Dolye and felt better.
While I wouldn't hold the internet tree itself up as a paragon of villain design, I would agree with Tim that "Couplet" worked better than "That Old Gang of Mine" overall.
Which one is couplet? Is it the ballet one, or the pancake kisses one, or a completely other one?
Couplet is the internet tree one. Ballet was "Waiting In The Wings" and I think the pancake kisses were "Double Or Nothing."
I must have read all the stuff about the trees before sufficient coffee consumption, because I never made the connection to that and Couplet, and odds are it was stated plainly. I will not go back and look, because I feel dumb enough, already.
I swear I remember laughing out loud at least twice during the internet tree episode. At Angel acting out his jealousy.
Plus, "Just to reiterate, not the princess!"
The Futon Critic has a fact sheet on The Inside, which has more info than I would have given, but I'm stingy. AND BETTER AT DESCRIBING IT THAN FOX.
I don't know how factual the fact sheet is, since I think Adam's character's name was changed to Danny Love.
It was indeed changed. I seem to recall there was a clearance issue with Coulter.
ETA: Also, I think there was a copy and paste from the old fact sheet and someone forgot to do a search and replace on "Elizabeth."
And they hired the actress to play Carla long ago. This looks old.
