Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

[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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ah, well, sorta. 47 is an obscure reference to my alma mater. A producer at Alias is a fellow alumna who is slightly more successful at the shout-out.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, cool. What's your alma mater?

Pomona College.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Those were all over ST:TNG as well, IIRC.

(yes, I did that on purpose.)

Another almnus. We're everywhere.

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

Line Of Fire seems to have been arced with a direction-changing big moment at episode 13. I wonder if that was deliberate, and how often it happens in shows that don't get cancelled. I should make a note to look at all the ep 13s next season. If there are any.

Was that ep 12/13 that showed on Sunday? Any word on showing any more?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

"The Minear Approach" to television writing.

The fact that this makes complete sense makes me sad.

Yay for the new thread and the flurry of haikus and limericks were fabulous.

Actually, I've feeling a wee bit peckish...

You know this could become "The Method" for a new generation of TV writers.

What a sad day that would be.

The only series is the Franchise or the mini-series.

Man, I'm in technology and we see a lot of gut-less financial types, but I think the short sightedness of TV excutives is starting to take the cake.

Dear lord.

Sydney, I agree with you and I am one of those corporate gutless financial types.
