Thanks for the question ideas. That gives me a good place to start from.

And now I'm wondering if, somehow, Allyson and I have been pimping badly. This is not a whimsical, funny show. It's dark and suspenseful and people die a lot. There's a also a healthy dose of moral ambiguity here and there. (Please note: This would be the standard definition of moral ambiguity, not the Allyson definition.)

It's not, however, "funny." There are some lighter moments now and then and, of course, there's plenty of gallows humor. But given the subject matter it deals with, I would say it's darker than Angel, darker than Firefly and at the opposite spectrum from Wonderfalls.

And, when measuring funny, please keep in mind that I find the story of the spree murderer who used to drop his false teeth in other people's drinks, because he didn't want to pay to buy drinks for himself, hilarious.

So we aren't talking cute-noir, we're talking everybody-dies-lonely noir?

murderers can be funny. thinking so is no weirder than other things that have been found funny in this place.

I, for one, never thought that "George" would be funny, or even "funny".

So we aren't talking cute-noir, we're talking everybody-dies-lonely noir?

Yes. It's difficult to write about it without spoiling.

But it's thick with the tension, and the terror. It's filled with moments like Angel smothering Wesley with a pillow, or locking the lawyers in with Darla and Dru. It's creepy, and dark. There's moments of levity to break up the tension.

There is no whimsy. There's no cute.

I didn't really expect whimsy. I used the wrong word. But I am hoping for some funny amidst the dark.

Allyson always yells at me for being creepy. Then she tells me to turn off A&E.

Everbody dies lonely. After they've smothered someone with a pillow and locked a bunch of people in a basement with two mass murderers.

ETA: x-post with Allyson, of course.

Also, sadly, there is no pink kitchen for Rebecca. I tried to convince him that she would have a pink kitchen, but he yelled at me about no fluffiness and then said he wouldn't marry me.

Although, being turned down for a marraige proposal by Tim still feels like a win, I mean, if you're gonna get turned down, get turned down by the best.

I'm still holding out hope to get turned down by JC Chasez.

Obviously I need to set myself some goals.

Allyson? Kristen? Please do a Firefly party. I just got a bit of Reaver-fever.

Does penicillin cure that?
