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.

What is even happening?

Which one is couplet? Is it the ballet one, or the pancake kisses one, or a completely other one?

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

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.

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

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.

[link]

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.

Just saw the cast of The Inside on Fox. The idiot girl with the mike asked Peter Coyote who he was.

Then one of the hosts said, "who is peter coyote? it's like asking jamie foxx who he is."

They all looked lovely together.

I can't even.

Huh.
