[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well it started mid season, so I don't know if there would have been more than 13 episodes in the first season.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not as originally envisioned. However, plans were at least partly in place for Season 2.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

le n, there was some discussion of at least one aspect of the second season here: Matt the Bruins fan "The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress" Feb 3, 2005 8:00:14 am PST

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

The commentaries mention at least one plan for the third season: Jaye would start out in a mental institution after having being locked up for claiming to be a prophet, I think. And she would run into none other than Peter Johnson, the kid from "Lovesick Ass."

Hey. New board.

Lying Pig: ZOMG Jewel Staite is even hotter as a bitch than as a happy mechanic.

Yes, that's really ALL I have to contribute. Other than SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!

If I only had a brain...

"The Message" still makes me cry. Sniff.

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

We didn't see any of SF apart from the hotel, because we spent several hours watching all the episodes Alibelle hadn't seen yet.

Fine. Blame it on me. Pusher.

That said, I thought Wonderfalls was great. However, the last few episodes, from the end of "Safety Canary" on, left me really upset. And they just toyed with me. Only to fix everything super quickly in the last five seconds of the last episode. It was cruel and unusual punishment. I'm still holding a grudge. Those last five seconds were not enough for me to get over my upset because they were over too quickly. Also, it made little sense to me that Eric was returning the stuff that Heidi bought-- the stuff they went out of their way to show us that Heidi bought. What's making my grudge worse is the obviousness of the fact that there probably wouldn't have even been the two and a half seconds of niceness if the season, and the show (possibly), weren't over.

However. Wow, that is an extremely talented group of actors. And writers. And directors. And editors. And set designers. And prop people. And costume designers. And hair and makeup people.

Everyone is just so incredibly talented. I'm sorry that we won't get to see more of their combined work.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

DX, thanks for that. I think I was looking for a more thorough discussion of the role of the brother. I heard that he was supposed to function as an apostle and I was wondering at what point this happens and what that was supposed to look like.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Alibelle, I thought that Eric bought the stuff from the store. Well, he made Heidi-ho pay for it, but I got the impression that it was his stuff.

I could be wrong, though. And I shared in your angst.
