Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just watched "Caged Bird" this afternoon (taking today off to avoid the snow stick it to the man). Wow. I have no words. I am with Alibelle, though about the cruel and unusual punishment of Jaye from Safety Canary through the end (until the tacked-on reunion) with the exception of Totem Mole. I mean, this being a Tim show, I expected some degree of heart-ripping but it was really torture watching her go through that. I started to hate the muses.
Agree about Lee Pace, mmmm. He was just so unexpectedly yummy, it was all the more delightful. Whereas Tyron, though really really cute, lost his freshness after a while.
Favorites: Safety Canary, Lovesick Ass, Wax Lion and Caged Bird. Least favorite: Wound-Up Penguin & Barrel Bear (the latter by a large margin). Although it seems funnier in retrospect, mostly it was just OOC and random.
ETA liked Totem Mole

Yay, arby! I'm normally having to defend my opinions. The last few episodes were just torturous, though. They hurt, and not in a good way.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm between Cocktail Bunny and Totem Mole. Feeling the pain, here.

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
I was just searching for something, anything on The Inside, and found an old FOX schedule. It was originally slated for 8pm on Fridays starting in January. I threw up in my mouth a little.
Really haven't hung this much of my heart on a teevee show in a long time. Haven't been this intrigued by a show since Buffy.

I don't know, sumi. I haven't heard anything other than March, which is right around the corner.
Although it would be a sweet birthday prezzie, I sort of wish it would launch in the Summer, where it would stand alone.

I think I liked Totem Mole for the exact reason many didn't - because it was a break from the Crucifixion of Jaye Tyler, and I really needed one. Also I think it goes well in the series order because by this point she's really flailing around and actively trying to get rid of the muses, and this ep made her reconsider that path. Agree though that the store owner really made the ep because without his character all the Native Americans would have been completely one-note.
Did anyone else see the Maid of the Mist in the pilot (after having watched Totem Mole) and think the actress was the same as the one who played Littlefoot?

No... to tell the truth, I didn't think the Maid of the Mist actress looked like she was actually Native American—more like Valerie Bertinelli in a Pocahontas costume. Which I thought was intentional, what with the whole story being made up to pander to tourists and so forth...

All is well that ends in pizza.
more like Valerie Bertinelli in a Pocahontas costume.
mmmm.
