Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Aye, I believe Allyson might be onto something there.

Allyson: you are far too polite elsewhere on t'internet. I wonder if somebody has hacked your userid?! Those 'Allyson' posts don't sound like you.

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

I understand the skepticism. See also: CHUD, Tim Minear.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim's a CHUD?!? It's all so clear now....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He received an award from the CHUD foundation, so he's an honorary CHUD.

The CHUD have a foundation now? I didn't even know they had TV....

Are they stealing the Morlocks' cable?

Yes, by using their trained sewer alligators to bite off the Morlocks' cables and drag them to the CHUD saunas.

Hell, they're organized! I had no idea. I thought the CHUD were still just roaming at random and attacking whoever was unfortunate enough to cross their path!

Do they have a health plan now?

Unfortunately, they still feed their sick and injured to the alligators.

Well, that *is* a plan, of sorts. Not a good plan, but a plan nonetheless.

I may have to seize the cat.

Which I think is important to remember. There were writers who didn't get rewritten, who were left alone to do good, solid work. Which is very different from some fan perspectives that JOSS DID IT ALL AND EVEN HELD THE BOOM.

My attitude tends to be, "Joss left some stuff alone. If it was bad, then HE DIDN'T FIX IT. If it was good, and someone else did it, then they get credit. But if it's bad, it's Joss's fault, because it's his job to make things better if they're bad."
