[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.
Lilty, when you asked why Totem Mole was necessary because
I thought that by the end of Cocktail Bunny, she could have been on her way to accepting them.
If I remember correctly, Jaye complained that "the monkey lied." He was going to tell her why they talked to her and she was expecting some life-affirming message and just got "because you listen." It wasn't enough for her. There was no purpose behind it and she needed a purpose.
Totem Mole gave her that, sorta.
Thanks, Allyson! That is a pretty picture. But it's missing Katie.
"Cocktail Bunny" is sweeeet. I can't imagine it working so much earlier in the series as they'd planned. I love how on rewatching the episodes, you can see what the muses were really talking about, and how consistent it was even though Jaye and the audience always misinterpreted them.
What's up with Jay looking 15 years older than he did on Coupling last year, though? Does Rachel have Ampata-esque life stealing qualities?
I'm a bit sad now that I've completed watching "Caged Bird" and have no new Wonderfalls episodes to look forward to. But seeing the Welcome to Wonderfalls documentary was great.

Anyone know where I can snag a copy of the pilot?
This is the one set in the high school?
It certainly seems that way, Alibelle. And the male doesn't appear to be Jay. So who knows.
Peter Facinelli was the one who played the semi-analogous character in the original pilot, right?
eta: I suppose actually looking for myself rather than asking that question would have worked even better...
