Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

[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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

We just need to find some guy named Jesus.

I'll bet I have a neighbor with that name.

I think Kat might have a student with that name.

Ooo, we can do the Spike Lee Malcom X thing.

I am Jesus...
I am Jesus...
I am Jesus

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

B'cacy has broken my brain, because all I can think is "And you're older than them, right?"

HA! I am not yet older than they. I'm still younger than the Messiah and Bruce Lee.

I would totally support Allyson for president of FOX simply because it would mean many more Minear-produced, written and directed shows whose episodes would be shown in order and would not be cancelled without at least a 7 season run. Really, is that too much to ask of FOX (or any other network which shows Tim's shows for that matter?)

BTW, could anyone who attended the LA press club event last weekend in which Tim was present, please post (even if it's just a bit) of what he said, if you can recall it. I thought the topic was quite interesting actually and would love to know what he said, if possible.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Val, I wrote down quotes.

"I run over them with my Mercedes."

"It's lurid"

"Because the serial killer was being insensitive."

"I read all their blogs."

"Millions of dollars."

"I'm not angry that the shows get cancelled. I'm angry that they don't get a chance."

"If you are going to punish me, fire someone else is what I always say."

"I've got my show!"

I forget the questions.

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

He was asked how he feels about people who say they don't watch teevee, and put the genre down as a brainsuck. He replied, "I just run them over with my Mercedes."

I was disappointed in the 40-year-old virgin's response to the question about 'net fandom's influence over television.

Tim said, "I've made a lot of friends," about fandom.

Good thing the question wasn't about movies cause then I'd be all flat stanley.
