Partyman, you'll be at the Lost party too?
Cool.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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."

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
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.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
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".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that's a sarcastic sentence, beathen, thus the without a trace and the only.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
He's being sarcastic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Or maybe ironic.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Heh. I almost died laughing last night watching Furturama when Bender corrected the RobotDevil on the definition of irony.
