Buffistas

We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

[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 also think Becky's tendency to put herself in peril has more to do with her difficulty forming close bonds with people after the abuse. It's difficult for her to trust, to rely on her partner, and the team, so she makes the mistake of going out on her own. She has a small touch of the invincible delusion because she escaped something so terrible all on her own, as well.

Yes, exactly.

Little Girl Lost, I think, is the most interesting episode dealing with Becky's strength, and where it came from.

We're going to have to wait a long time before we can discuss that one. Which is sad.

Do they call her Becky?!?! Please no.

HA. Polgara said the same thing to me. And no, they don't. But Allyson does and she's infected me.

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

sends 900lb serial killer to sit on ita and at least cause a butt shaped bruise on her torso.

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

I think Tim should call the 900lb killer ep, "Waif and the Fat Man."

But he never takes my advice.

I think this illustrates why he doesn't.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Everytime the two of you start riffing off each other, it makes me want the Kristen and Allyson show even more.

What is even happening?

The important thing is that Scott dies in the 9th episode. That's why I'm watching.

Yeah, and he's pretty. Did you see the him? Yum. According to IMDB, an actor appearing in that episode is named Cindy Lu. At first, I thought I was reading the character names, and cracked up. Then I realized it was the actor's name, and I felt all unshouted out to, for a moment. Then I remembered Scott's murder, and got all happy again. I mean. Um. Do I have to send you a dollar or something now, to put you on retainer?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Allyson - didn't know that - I apologise.

I was wondering about spoilers. There's a spoilers forum at TI, but I was thinking of removing it. I'm not a great fan of big plot twists being leaked in advance nowadays. Although I suppose if it's going to happen, it's going to happen.

Cindy, I forgot to ask how Scott is feeling about the whole thing. Also, did you get a chance to think about notes for the thing I sent?

Just as long as everyone understands, it wasn't me.

Allyson - didn't know that - I apologise.

Pft. I have no claim on Tim. I'm just being a jackass.
