Hell, I love Wonderfalls. True, true love. Only 13 episodes but it still beat down all seven seasons of Buffy hands down. It was frightening to watch.

[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

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Er, is this a good time to admit I still haven't seen past episode 3 of Wonderfalls? I have the DVD here.

Er. I don't know if I should laugh or cry now.

First determine how truthful I am being.

The Wonderfalls DVDs are a good time. I stayed home sick and had a Niagara-fest. I realized part-way through tho, that I hated the purported best friend and got the vague feeling the cast and crew weren't crazy about her either.
Now, The Inside and gratuitious violence: I think the problem isn't that it's gratuitous, it's that it's decontextualized. I mean, there's a lot of hella-hella fucked up shit going down all of the time, but most of my day is composed of like, microwave popcorn and being excited about the mail. It's a scale issue--all of these people are like, lalala horrific violence! Lalala S&M! What I'm trying to describe is like when CSI people put a ruler in an evidence picture to show how big or small something is, because a straight photograph would give a possibly skewed, or skew-able, view. There needs to be someone (I thought of a journalist when I was thinking this up) who acts as the audience stand-in and is all, BARF. Don't know if whatshernametheblondgirl is supposed to play this role, but I feel like because she was all Elizabeth Smarted as a kid, she does have a reference point that puts her ahead of us.
Wow. I so have not posted this extensively about a TV show on the Internet since like, season four of Buffy. Feels weird, in good, wanky kind of way.

I'm enjoying fan wanking about TI far more than I should. And being British, that sentence totally amuses me.
I am debating about taking tomorrow off sick to Wonderfalls the day away.

P.S. I think we're going to need a new minear-thread in the not-too distant future. The newbie doesn't know where the new thread-title picking is done these days. Here?

I dunno. I think Tim liked her. She was on the short list for Carla on this show, if I'm not mistaken.
