[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
No, I interviewed Rachel, Tim, and did a set visit, so I'm bursting at the seams with material for a piece on The Inside.
It's an unweildy bastard.

We did talk a little about BNF. It's entirely too painful to write. I think I'll need a few days off from work and a box of Kleenex.
Facing your own craziness hurts like a bitch.

Err.....I know it's the official site, so I don't expect much...I mean, it's bad enough the episode summaries are focused solely on the surface plot and miss all the character stuff, but this is the last line of the summary for "Old Wounds":
"Officers burst in and kill Strong."
Um....no. In fact, that changes the whole point of...sigh. Forget it. But somebody has to tell FOX to tell their website employees to pay more attention.

Dear god, I need an editor whom I don't already owe the world in a Harry and David Basket filled with chocolate.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Just out of curiousity, how does one broach the subject of creating a character with a guest actor in mind when the episode involves said character being a boundary-violating vocal proponent of B&D and becoming a victim of homosexual rape? I'm picturing a "Gee... thanks for thinking of me?" reaction happening there.

Are you kidding? Most actors love playing anyone who's different in anyway. Serial killer, rapist, mentally challenged, blind, missing a limb, schizophrenic, drugged addicted, Nazi, tormented artist (all at once and you're guaranteed some kind of nomination)...it's all good. It gives them tons of meat from which to create a character, and lots of opportunities for costumes, props, and interesting physicality.

Oh, no argument it was a plum role with lots of great facets for an actor to explore. It's just the "I wrote this character for you!" element that struck me as having awkwardness potential.

One Hot Burrito!
Awesome performance aside, my favorite part about that guy is that he directed PCU.
