Nilly, you'd like it. It has a lot of intriguing characters that make you curious about their backstory. Same way they played out River in the early Firefly eps. You want to know. Web's got some Mal, and some spydaddy (from Alias) in him. And it's not too gory! Paul's got a little Simon in him (and Xander, but with Angel's old haircut. Jeez, how can that still be the cool haircut ten years on? Jane needs to make a new hair product joke at his expense.)
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

[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.

Shooting with good ol' Keith Szarabajka this week.
Oh, I love his voice.
Tim, several people I know here (um, face-space, Israel-here) are already downloading the episode as I type. I'm too prude for that, but I'm the minority.

Sweet! Make him say something growly. He's a good growler.

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

This is what makes the show for me. That great writing and acting gets me every time.

That's what I like best - the characters, the people and their story.
And it's not too gory!
I'm already curious enough to cover my eyes during the gory bits with parted fingers that I can peek through.

Ple, I've got it on TiVo if nobody local has it handy.
Keen. I'll probably have to take you up on that.
Watching anything longer than a half-hour in real time these days is impossible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm so over my Jay Harrington issues (which were selfish and shallow anyway). He was great.
Web's a fuck. And I think it will be interesting to watch. As will the reveal of Jay -- will he be a good conscience, or overbearing and protective?
Danny's disdain did twig me Jayne-like a couple times, but AB's got such a distinctive look that I find it hard to put each previous role down right away.
Katie -- I don't even remember her character's name. I guess I'll get to know her later.
I did laugh at the backward line, because ... he's a bastard! A right bastard! It's not like 24, where our hero who does bad things for the greater good is long-sufferingly noble. So far, Web's not noble at all. Those crossed wires interest me, if managed well.
Okay, to sleep. Tim, why'd you have to get a show that's on while I'm teaching krav?
