Wait a second. I don't follow TWoP and am skimming the thread toinight...there's a reviewer called Tornado Penis Guy?
I would think that might be enough to discredit his opinion right there.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

[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
I just like saying, "Tornado Penis" is all.
Oh I think the Random Quote Generator needs updating.
Can you start with the part where he says I'm a good writer?

And you chained Angel to a bed twice.
I'm pretty sure he was fully clothed for both of those.
ETA: Angel was clothed, I mean. I have no insights on Mr. Minear's state of undress.

That was the sadistic part. Made up for it with The Sweeps Towel.

Hmm, you might qualify for late night Cinemax.

Only with a different musical score.

The Sweeps Towel was the best thing evah.

Should I just start a special Allyson section of the site? 'Cause you keep making these requests...

Also, I really wanted him to spank me. I guess.
You're not helping to dispel the TWoP poster's theory, you know.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Granted, I may have enjoyed her nastiest recaps of "Tru Calling" more, 'cause, I mean, darts not aimed at me.
That was Shack, who also recapped Firefly.
Allyson, did the mini Sigmond who says I write about S&M a lot give any other examples?
Well, here's the full analysis:
RE: the S&M vibe. Tim is either into it or really wants to be. In Buffy, Angel and now on The Inside there have been allusions to S&M play, safe words, bondage, and domination. Some of the dialog rang false when the character's were discussing the S&M aspects of the plot. In an age when Dan Savage has a weekly column and the movie The Secretary is gets critical acclaim, I'd think at least one of these characters would have an open mind about alternate forms of pleasure. Really, Coyote's character should've been the one to correct people's terminology and preconcieved notions about what S&M is.
Minear may want to emulate CSI, but leave out the judgement.
I responded with the old "uh, S&M happens, that's why he might write about it" argument (alone with Ye Olde Tim-Never-Worked-on-Buffy), but have received no rebuttal.
