I pimped Wonderfalls to three co-workers. One came back to work the next day and said, "It's brilliant! But you know it's too smart to last, right?" *sigh*
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A friend who still looks askance at me for Buffy ended up watching the first four episodes of Wonderfalls in one evening while visiting me. Her choice. I suggested the first one, and after each one she would say, "Well, we have to watch the next one."

Hey. New board.
Happened to me too. But only with people that I'm convinced WOULD like Buffy if they could get past the vampires.
Why talking animals is better for some people is completely beyond me. But there you go.

Who? moi??
A writer friend of mine (Tad Williams) has both a beagle and a cat. He also writes wickedly horrible monsters.
Wonder if that is the beagle or the cat doing the influence.

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
We sent out review copies with three episodes, The Pilot, Old Wounds, and Pre-Filer
Shit. I got places for to review things. And I'll even be objective. I swear.

Eh. You know I'm just angling to see it. I'm so infuriatingly impatient.

I may have to seize the cat.

Probably the interaction between the two.

If I only had a brain...
We had a beagle when I was growing up, at least till he ran off. Beagle-cat interactions were never a good thing.

The evil is this way?
If a Beagle and a Cat interacted such that there were offspring, what would said offspring be called? Ceagle? (What? There are no new shows for a couple of weeks -- my mind wanders.)

I feel confident in saying that the outcome would be beagle strips suitable for stir-fry.
