I enjoyed that quite a lot. I also laughed out loud at the "backwards" line, and I caught the Wolfram Security thing. Yay!
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

[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 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?

The Angel reference was Wolfram Security.
This is why I should have taped. I missed some of the good stuff. Wah. Next time.
Anyone know if this is going to replay on FX the way 24 always did?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Love seeing Baldwin and Finnernan again. I like conscience guy an awful lot, and I'll learn to like Rebecca, I'm sure. Right now she's generic tall blonde ingenue.
Bev is me. Not that impressed with Rebecca at this point.

hey Tim, if you're still around, who's doing the music for the show?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
This is why ensemble casts rock.
I should be asleep. I'm secretly watching BitTorrent sites.

tends to use overly long sentences
I loved the way Danny was running *and* chewing gum while trying to catch the train. Subtle hint that he's not as dumb as Jayne?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Angel shoutout was Wolfram Security.
Shit, I missed that.
I'm really liking Paul, which is cool since I don't know the actor at all and no one was ever talking about him much before now. But I like the conflict set up between him and Web, and I totally get the "existential battle for Rebecca's soul" thing Tim talked about so long ago.
I think the psychological thriller comparisons are apt; it felt like it could have been a movie.
I'm definitely in.

I like Rebecca, but I don't buy that she's tough -- not yet, anyway. When she was holding that gun, she looked like she didn't know how to use it, and she's so soft-spoken and fragile-looking.

"Don' be e-scared"
Give her a little time, DX. She's really got a thing. Has a nice one-take monlogue near the end of the third ep, the screen is hers. Huge learning curve. Huge. Girl was a math major at some expensive uni. She's wicked smart.
Okay, so my mom just called me from Georgia. Visiting my aunt and uncle. I was just like, "this isn't television fit for you people!"
