The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

Topic!Cindy, No actual spoilers, just as I said "Paranoid Theories." Now if my theories are true, I don't know, I have no involvement with the show, nor have I read or seen anything other that what aired last night (aside from non-spoilery still photos on the net). If for some reason I'm right, then I guess it's actual spoilers. But if that's the case It's just one of those wild leaps that happens to be right. Also, sorry for the delay in response, I had to get back to actual work temporarily.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Watching the episode now. Making notes here as a I go.

- "Any one of us could be next". Gulp. This is good TV writing. Suspense.

- Cat person. Heh. Sorry, that amused me. Does Tim know how many fandom people have cats? Do I even need to ask?

- Becky. Fucking up. From the beginning. Oh yes. Not looking people directly in the eyes much.

- Straight off the bat. Is Web Hanabal? Is he actually evil? What game is he playing? Why?

- Colour codes. SOMEBODY finally mocked it.

- "The city is big. Lonely. You buy a plant." (I moved to a big city two years ago. It's lonely. Last week I got a plant).

Hee. I liked this so very, very much. Things are unfolding, the story is set up, characters are being baked to simmer... I have many theories, but I'll reserve them for later fan wanking.

At the moment: very happy. Thank you, Tim.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wasnt even sure if it needed the font du blanc.

I just said it, in case people were not highlighting in fear of "Well, after her tongue gets cut out in Episode 8, you'll be REALLY GLADD that Web is willing to just kill the son of a bitch."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The man that Rebecca sees in the mirror. Do I spy 'Paul Millander' from CSI fame!?

YES!

If I posted hurriedly last night and didn't adequately express how wonderful it is to have intelligent tv to look forward to, let me say that now. There are shows that I feel a fondness for, whose characters I might even be more or less invested in, but catching the odd episode of Angel in syndication just makes my breath catch with the cleverness, the intelligence of the dialogue and the crafting of action, the callback and foreshadowing in episodes, that I just don't find elsewhere. I'm expecting The Inside to be that kind of tv for me.

I missed the Allyson SO, dammit.

What is even happening?

Thanks, Jade.

Yeah, there's been a lot of white fonting in this thread since last night. I keep checking to see if we're still NAFDA.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think we're NAFDA for Tim shows. Which seems needlessly complicated, so I could be wrong.

Last night, the East Coasters were acting NAFDA-y, and then the West Coast started whitefonting, which was kind of funny.

I think it makes sense to white font during the West Coast W&P to keep from spoiling plot points. But otherwise, yeah we're NAFDA.

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

I think it makes sense to white font during the West Coast W&P to keep from spoiling plot points.

Wait -- who's to white font during the watch and post? I think it's simplest if there's no Minear-show whitefonting for anything that's aired. You come in here before you've finished watching the ep, you takes your chances.

I think we're NAFDA for Tim shows.

I thought we were NAFDA for everything -- if not, we need to yank it from the slug.

ita, what I mean is, it would be pretty shitty if an east-coaster came in during the west coast w&p during the scene where they're chasing hood!boy, and say, "eh, he's not the real killer anyway. It's that funny-looking dude in the glasses."

That falls under "don't be a dick," right?
