Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Tim is into beagles and writes about them all the time. Evidence!

I may have to seize the cat.

Also, why are we (read: they) proposing that Tim is into S&M but leaving Jane (she wrote this episode, no?) completely out of it? More than one person took part in this creative process.

Tim is either into it or really wants to be.

But not as much as he really wants to rip someone's face off.

Anyway...I do quibble with this:

they hated Angel, Firefly and Wonderfalls, too

I gotta say, TWOP was home to one of the most active and fervent groups of FF fans. Period. They spent a lot of time and money and energy trying to help save the show.

Plus I think they were a key element that led to the whole War of the Banner Ads. For that alone, they deserve our appreciation.

ETA: I cannot speak on their love (or lack therof for WF or Angel). I don't really remember.

she wrote this episode, no?

No, it was Mark Fish.

My new favourite quote about TI of the evening:

"If they start focusing on developing the characters it could be a really good series."

Errrrrrrrrm.

I do sometimes wonder if I watch the same thing as other people.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There's definitely a lot of love for Angel. TWoP (excepting Pamie) loved the hell out of the WF pilot and then hated the fuck out of it afterward. It was one reason I was glad to discover b.org, which had more than two or three people who still loved it.

That's what I thought I saw in the credits and then I second-guessed myself and checked the interweb. Now I feel slightly less crazy. Thank you, Kristen! (That is a real thank you and not a sarcastic thank you. The internet makes me feel a need to clarify these things.)

Okay, now that you mention it, I do seem to recall that Pamie hated WF.

Just a drive-by, mostly non-related comment:

I second Polter-Cow's motion that the "just kidding, I'm really gonna kill myself, not you" moment be retired as an overused TV cliche.

Not just TV, movies too. I caught it at the end of Tomb Raider 2: Let's Make Another Crappy Tomb Raider Movie the other day (my mom was flipping channels).

Actually, Laura shot what's-his-name at the end of the move. He didn't shoot himself. (I can't remember the character's name...wait... I think it was Terry Sheridan. Damn my brain cells that can remember all sorts of useless trivia, but can't be depended upon to retain the stuff employers value. Anyway, he was played by Gerard Butler, aka "The Phantom of the Opera." Looks mighty fine in tight pants and a cape.) (This message brought to you by Morgana's overactive hormones. Sorry.)

Restraining the Michael Crawford fangirl within.... There, I beat her down. Good deal.

Proceed!

(By the way, my family's beagle ate me yesterday. Really. She started with my ears, and before I knew it, I was being digested. She's so cute! Curse her.)
