Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

Closed Film and TV threads

[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 like Tim Goodman, the SF Chronicle tv guy. He's not infallible, but he's honest in his opinions and unlikely to be swayed by industry hype. Yes, he didn't like Firefly when it first aired. I understand he came around. He loved Farscape, and said so, and he adored Wonderfalls, loves Arrested Development, and rants often about the way the tv industry mishandles good shows. IOW, he's not the enemy.

But there's something in the "too many cop shows" thing. And rightly or wrongly, he's seeing a lot of importance in how Fox is handling it, putting it up at this point instead of airing it during the regular season.

Anyway. I'm still watching, but mostly because it's Tim (and Adam and Peter and Katie), and cause Allyson said to. I'm not much for the gore.

What is even happening?

I'm starting to get butterflies in my stomach.

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 haven't been this stoked about the premiere of a teevee show since the Buffy days.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Suela pretty much sums it up for me, too.

I can't believe I'm actually watching Pamela Anderson while waiting for the Inside to start. Where's my "mute" button?

This is seriously nerve wracking. It needs to AIR already.

Also, Plei will be pleased to hear that I already have an NSYNC recasting done in my head so she doesn't need to worry about that.

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?

I'm expecting to love it, but I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic just so I'm not disappointed if I don't. But... 10 minutes! Eee!

Edit: My computer clock is slow. Only seven minutes! Eee!

I've opened a bottle of wine. I want to christen this one properly.

Dudes, it's a trashy pulp novel. I hope you have a good time, but if you end up with ink stains on your fingers, do not blame me.

Ink stains? What be them? I'm more likely to have the impressions of keycaps on my fingers from pounding my enthusiasm out on the keyboard.
