'Beneath You'
[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.
I think Ausiello is a little high on himself, which is a big part of his shtick, but you can't take his reviews too seriously. And he's entitled to his opinion, no matter how wrong-headed it might be.
I actually appreciate his regular pimping of a Spike movie because I'd love to see it happen.
Not if I agreed with them. I'm a jerk like that.
Fair enough.
I wonder what Matt Roush thought of it. His tastes overlap mine more often than Mike's do. (And damnit, if DH still worked there full-time, I'd have seen 2 eps already, and could have an opinion of my own.)

That shtick is what gets you a column with your name at the top of it in the entertainment writing world -- nobody gets paid to be humble. It's really not a reliable measure of someone's personality.]
So NCIS isn't an internetty abbreviation, but is the actual name of the show? And it's been on for two seasons? I am so out of it.
It's on at the same time as Gilmore Girls.

That's true. I meant that his writing persona is high on himself. IRL he's probably a completely different person.

It used to be Navy: NCIS. Now it's just NCIS, which stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which makes it a governmenty/military abbreviation.

I am Jon on both of these points. When people started talking about the NCIS finale recently, I drove myself batty trying to figure out what it was an abbreviation for. Nation's Coldest Igloo Sites? Neighbors Caught In Sewer?

On Edit - Natter Can't Include Spoilers
It used to be Navy: NCIS. Now it's just NCIS,
they finally bowed to the pressure that it was stupidly repetitive.
I'm so dense -- I almost typed "But we're not in Natter."
