Book ,'Objects In Space'
[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.
He's encouraging readers to not watch the show, to not bother lending their hearts to it. It's self defeating.
He's really not. It's a modest proposal to just quit watching great television and skip right to the crap that you know is going to get renewed.
He may not have made the irony clear enough.

I didn't get that at all, and as others have said, he isn't saying anything that we, or even Tim (Friday is when Fox tries out it 13 ep DVD sets), haven't already said.
Awww, that's the sweetest.
You're welcome. Hell, even if I couldn't go I'd be pimping the party!
As you know I had an amazing time at the W&H AR, and this one will be even better, as I won't be 'Mr. Nervous at First Fan Party Ever' so much. Also, I have "catching up with folk I met last year" to add to the list of wonderful things to look forward too.
I don't need a pic of Tim, though. If he's wearing his glasses, ita might want it.
Glasses indeed. Ita enjoys the glasses? I thought her penchant was for the wet and the hands? Hmm.
Edited: Ohh, it gets better... Just found one of Fury surrounded by women...
Partyman, you'll be at the Lost party too?
Cool.
It read to me as a diatribe against Fox, and particularly scheduling of shows. If anything, it made me want to see "The Inside" more. I think if I was a smart person who had not seen "Wonderfalls" or "Firefly," hearing they were smart and multi-layered and unique would make me put down this article saying "The Inside, gotta make sure to put that on TiVO. Sounds interesting."
Am I being oversensitive mama bear, here?
Maybe a little. Although the article is a bit clunky so his meaning is not as clear as it could have been.
So be it. Though I'm more likely to accidentally claw my own face off in the process.
I was soured from the get go, before the name spelling error with...
Ready to join all the e-mail drives, boycotts and letter campaigns to demand that this quirky, intelligent show be kept on the air?
Show not quirky. Show scary.
Had [Firefly] appeared on a Monday night it would have disappeared without a trace after only nine or ten excellent, groundbreaking seasons.
I don't get it. The author seems to say that it would have lasted a lot longer [nine or ten seasons] but no one would have cared [disappeared without a trace]? And I think that the word "only" should not preface "nine or ten excellent, groundbreaking seasons".
I think that's a sarcastic sentence, beathen, thus the without a trace and the only.
