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.
Has anyone mentioned how amazing Hart Bochner was in the ep. Really impressive. I saw that Tim wrote it for him, and it was a great combination of writer/actor. I also LOVED Coyote in the whole reenactment scene. He underplays, but with a lot of compelling hidden stuff going on, so it's impossible to take your eyes off him.

Er....who was he?
Brandt.
Brandt.
Smirky dom guy?
Yeah, bad guy who becomes victim.
Steph, I forget if you have a position on Colin Firth, since you sometimes have boy-related opinions that perplex me (Christian Bale), but if you'd enjoy seeing baby-faced Colin Firth in an incredibly slashy stalky relationship with Hart Bochner, rent Apartment Zero.

I liked him. I don't think I've seen him in anything else, but I liked him in this episode.

Heh. Not so much a position as -- I can never remember what he looks like. I always confuse him and Clive Owen.
It would've been nice to see some acknowledgment that an attraction to S&M doesn't necessarily imply some hidden trauma.
This is true. I guess I had on my see-what-you-want-to-see goggles. Which was that I kept hearing people say to him, "Don't be so judgmental, Paul!" and took that as the voice of the show.
