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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Didn't they accidentally catch Frank Silva in a shot while shooting the pilot, and then Lynch decided it was too cool not to use?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Lilty, the Twin Peaks pilot was released as a separate movie in Europe. That's the only version available. Unfortunately, the last ten minutes or so spoil the storyline in the movie version, which is different from the actual pilot. (The difference being just those last ten minutes which were used to wrap some things up.)

So. You need to watch the movie/pilot (which is fantastic, by the way) all the way up to the last ten minutes then STOP. Don't go down into the basement in the end. Then you start watching the regular series.

Or you can gank a pirated copy of the original pilot off eBay or some such.

I bought a region free version of the pilot pilot on Ebay. It's legit, but not a great transfer.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I've got a region free pilot pilot, too. The transfer's okay. They're pretty easy to come by.

When I was in high school, I could do the dwarf backwards voice thing. I suspect I needed a hobby. Or to watch less Twin Peaks.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Don't put yourself through the pain - I did so none of you have to. Uwe Boll made it from a videogame about shooting zombies, which is handy since he uses actual sequences from the game itself as transitions between cuts.

Okay, then. Thanks.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Finally got my Wonderfalls DVDs Thursday but didn't have a chance to watch them before the con. Watched the first two DVDs Monday and the third last night. I even taped Veronica Mars because I was between episodes right before VM started and didn't want to wait an hour to see the last two.

Overall, I really enjoyed the show and was glad to finally see all 13 episodes and would happily watch more if it existed, though some of the proposed story ideas for seasons 2 and 3 I've heard mentioned here are worrisome. However, I don't mourn the show the way I do Firefly.

One thing I would have liked, regarding the final arc, would be for Heidi to have had some redeeming value. I understand it was to help us sympathize with Jaye, but she was already sympathetic to me at that point. Heidi was such an unapologetic, overwhelming bitch that I never once wondered if maybe the muses were right in having Jaye get them back together, but instead just sat there waiting for the inevitable twist to happen. Don't get me wrong, I felt Jaye's pain and got a little watery-eyed at points, but I think as a whole it would have been more moving if it didn't feel like everything was just waiting for the "stars to align".

I agree with the grumblings about Totem Mole and particularly its placement in the season. I did get a kick out of Jerry the shopkeeper, though. Particularly after the shooting.

While I liked Crime Dog, my one issue with it is Yvette/Cindy seemed like she was a live-in housekeeper, particularly with the "She practically raised us" comments from Jaye and Aaron but we never see her before or after the episode.

Loved Lovesick Ass, particularly the exchange after Peter tries to attack Eric with the bat.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

though some of the proposed story ideas for seasons 2 and 3 I've heard mentioned here are worrisome.

Though I expressed reservations earlier about the Miracle Baby storyline, that pales before the amount of disbelief suspension required by Sharon giving up smoking before she realizes she's pregnant. (Fuller said that her early pregnancy weight gain would be mistakenly attributed to giving up cigarettes.) Give me something easier to believe guys—like reanimated corpses walking among us, or Buffy being able to afford her clothes on a fast food worker's salary .
