After a rewatch, I have realized that every single line I found strident and awkward came out of Paul's mouth. This leads me to believe that rather than the lines themselves having a problem, they are just the kind of things Paul would say - speechifying, "deep" things that sound odd to me but make sense coming from White Knight Guy, if you think he spends a lot of time coming up with the "right" (which is not the same as natural) thing to say.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

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
And I want someone to punch Paul.
HA! I keep telling Tim that he IS Paul.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ack!! My bad, my bad. I will switch, as is only right, though you are gracious to offer to share. Also - smonster! Hi!
Hi!! I was serious, though, that quote is big enough to share. I was totally tickled that we picked the same line.
Hmm. Topic. 2 days to next ep! Yay! It's so great to have something new to watch in the summer, especially something new *and* good.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I hate network tv politics.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I have to decide if I want to dl GF, or if I'm happy just having the comics close at hand, and thus feel no need to see what might have been. Also, can't believe how many of the people I would have expected to have read GF hadn't.
Hec, yes, I will need to get a copy of The Inside from you. Then I can view it and have my own thoughts. Which will be all exciting and stuff.

Hmm. Am probably not one of those people but am rectifying situation all the same. My copies of GF should arrive Wednesday.

Hey. New board.
I'm playing The Inside pilot on my PDA right now, AIFG. It is being used as my intensive battery test, to see how long I can play Divx movies on this thing.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Was watching Wonderfalls while home with some stomach bug. I'm ready for season 2 now. Any time. Don't get me wrong. The Inside is great. I'm greedy and want both. We need a Tim clone.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
We don't need a Tim clone - we need a new network.
Anyway, another The Inside fan site someone has mailed me:

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh. Using the title of Tim's X-Files ep. is interesting.
