Okay, Narrator. I'm in if you are.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

The evil is this way?
Okay, Narrator. I'm in if you are.
Deal. But wait -- when is SV on? If it's against VM and "Lost" then I've run out of ways to watch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've wandered around a bit and gosh, it looks like those spoilers are true. It's to be the 5th episode of the new season and its called "Thirst".
No way! I am disbelieving this.

Oh, good point. It might be. I never did manage to stay with Lost. I have to catch up with VM, because too many people who love what I love--love it. Maybe I'll just watch the Buffy Sanders episode. It looks like (at least right now) that it's on Wednesdays at 9 (8 Central). [link]

I think Smallville is moving to Thursday at 8pm and it will be up against Alias and The OC.
No way! I am disbelieving this.
I can barely believe it too.
I've been thinking about how the popular genre shows and the fandom are sorta like hip hop. The early episodes are like the coolest songs that get sampled by internet fans and fanfic writers who strip the shows down and get the best breakbeats and cool parts and create something new, but not completely new. It's awesome synergy, or whatever.
But as time goes on the shows themselves run out of cool ideas and the episodes are barely even whole recognizeable episodes, they start turning into nothing but mostly hookless or wacky breakbeats. Some of the fans still try to hang on and valiantly sample the coolest parts they can salvage but then it just becomes like so much P./Puff Diddy/Daddy sampling old hip hop songs and eveything starts caving in.

Oh! I don't watch either of those. Hmmm. Maybe I'm in, again.

That's a great theory, candy.

I'm all sorts of tempted to come up with some sort of Puff Daddy/P.Diddy name conversion for Joss Whedon, but I'm coming up all J Weewee.

J Weewee.
I love this.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Candy, I love that compare. It rings so sadly true.
I also love the name J Weewee, and will never be able to think of him as anything else.
candyb - Aug 05, 2005 12:08:42 pm PDT #1162 of 3486
J Weewee.
Hee!
Could also be a Korean R&B/hiphop star.

I think it has merit too. The Law of Diminishing Returns hits on the remix culture (cf., Wired).
