A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

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

Ah. I remember now.
You are so tricksy with the stealth spoiler in the midst of that conversation...
So be it. Though I'm more likely to accidentally claw my own face off in the process.
(er, for The Inside, whitefonted for those who've not had the chance to see it yet)

Oh yeah, that guy.
I miss him.

Yeah. In my net travels, I saw him post a sort of, "didn't I call that?" thing when Tim posted the sad news. And I thought, "make sure to shake it off so you don't dribble into your boxers when you're finished pissing on the grave."
And then I thought, "I'm a tad obsessively overprotective, which isn't really necessary."

I know The Inside is Tim's baby, but I think you are kind of a favorite aunt. Your protectiveness is understandable and appropriate.
And I hate told-you-soers.

I'm sure it wasn't an intended gloat, I'm just a raw nerve about such things. The Allyson-Filter is sometimes ridiculously humorless.

"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
It occurs to me that getting ranted at for a pessimistic but not disparaging review might provide a lot of motivation to gloat in an I-told-you-so follow-up piece. I know I wouldn't be above writing one under such circumstances.

Which is why I refrained from kicking him.

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...
They cancelled The Inside? Bollocks! Fox must really hate Tim and Joss. I mean, who cancels a police show? Is that four shows cancelled in three years now?

"what's left when you take biology and sociology out of the picture?" "An autistic hermaphodite." -Allyson
And remember, every time you support a canceled Fox show, somewhere a network executive loses his wings.
And, ideally, falls screaming into the Abyss, there to be devoured by worms.
I may be the tiniest bit bitter.
