Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was thinking, as I was typing it, "This sounds like something Jess would say!"

And, if we're sharing a brain, would you mind just finishing up this article I'm editing, so I can take a nap? Much obliged.

Wait, I want a nap too!

Since we're sharing a brain, does that mean if you take a nap, I'll feel rested?

I think we should test that theory, and I am willing to take that nap for the team!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Well, Jace loves himself some Joss, but he has very similar taste in TV to me so I trust him here. For example, he dislikes the latest hour long Office episodes for the same reasons I do.

JenGod has a review up too: [link]

I'll let you know how it goes!

Aw, Jengod! She should come back and post more often.

See, that tells me about the show itself, doesn't just gush that because OMGJOSSWHEDONMADEIT!!!1! it *must* be good.

Okay, plus, Jengod knows all.

I think Jace's review says more about the actual show. Although, yes, gushes a bit more.

I do agree with the sentiment that Joss doesn't do no wrong. I mean, he wrote 'Family', which is a complete mess. And, like, Alien 4.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And now that I've actually *read* the Televisionary article, it's lines like this that make me roll my eyes:

While I had extremely high expectations for Dollhouse (I always trust in the Joss), I was worried that, after all of the hype and hoopla, it wouldn't quite live up to my preconceived notions about the project. I am happy to say that not only were those expectations matched but they were exceeded.

I'm sure that the people who write this sort of thing believe it every time, but I remember when the first Firefly reviews were leaking out and it was the same formula over and over..."[gushy expression of Josslove], nevertheless [obligatory disclaimer re: rational level of hopefulness], but thankfully [OMGSQUEE! JOSS SHITS GOLD BRICKS!!!!]"

And then, you know, I still don't really trust Joss to do scifi in a way I find watchable. So there's that.

(OTOH, Faith + Helo may be more hotness than I'm able to resist even if I find the rest of it as annoying as I did Firefly. As long as there's no fake Western slang.)
