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.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

[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

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

Hmm, you might qualify for late night Cinemax.

The Sweeps Towel was the best thing evah.
Can you start with the part where he says I'm a good writer?
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
All of Tim's Buffy scripts were very SMerriffic.

Tim -- Oh, no, I've always respected how you've dealt with criticism, here & elsewhere. 'Cause I certainly expected you to think I was a complete asshole, and I felt kinda bad about that, so it was nice to find out you didn't. I truly meant just what I said, that I think you may have either read the TWoP boards on particularly bad days, or you may remember negative comments more than positive ones (which, again, I totally get). At least on the Angel boards, I think you're probably held in higher esteem than anyone else, including Joss, and a big part of that is because you'll say things like, "Yeah, sorry about TOGoM." Everything else was very Not About Your Post. I've had sort of a weird week as far as people talking about TWoP, plus being tired, so... yeah. Any venting was aimed at the world, not you in particular.
I, too, am curious about this Tornado Penis thing. Ahem.
And yes, Shack did Tru Calling. Damn him. I'm always getting credited for his jokes. It's like the "That was a great line!" "Er, thanks, but Joss wrote that one..." thing.
