Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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.

Just low blood sugar. Ate a Snickers. Thanks for coming.

Not a Heinlein fan - I read "Stranger in a Strange Land" when I was a kid, tried a couple of his other books and didn't finish them. Didn't like Asimov or Clarke either. I tend to prefer sci-fi written by women: Anne McCaffrey, Elisabeth Moon, Margaret Weis. Less of the dry science / big idea part, more of the character-driven stuff.

Big thank you to whoever recommended "Dead Like Me" a while back. Picked up the DVD set, and I'm loving it. I can definitely feel a DNA link to Wonderfalls when I watch it. $62 well spent. Is there going to be a second season?

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with meaning? What does that mean?

Second season starts July 25, I believe.

I bought the DVDs too, after seeing just one episode. I love them, although the episodes could have been even better if some of Bryan's really good ideas hadn't been tossed out.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Watched, uhm, most of safety canary. The CD was screwed up, but we lost the very end.

Uhm, what happens right after Jaye tells he bird lady that she's been using the birds to avoid human contact?

I'm replacing my whitefonted spoiler with a link to the script, which explains things better than I did anyway.

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

Ahem. Spoilers.

Sorry, ita. Is there anywhere besides the Wonderfalls spoilers thread where people can talk about the episodes they've seen? That thread spoils all the episodes, and some people don't want to know what happens in later ones.

My bad. I should have just asked for that to be backchannelled.

Unfortunately no -- there's no real middle ground that doesn't involve e-mail.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Unless we have a separate thread for every single unaired episode, I don't see how that's possible.

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

Massive x-post! Today's IMDb poll is relevant and interesting. And saddening.
