Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

They really did have every reason to think she was in a hell dimension. Because her being in a heaven dimension under the circumstances a universe with a modicum of justice - which under the circustances did not mesh with their experiences.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Angel dust!

Depending on how events after NOT FADE AWAY turned out, that could be literally so.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

The episodes where he gets staked or decapitated are always fun.

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

Interview by DH w/ DB re his new show Bones (there's an Angel question, so I figure it fits in here)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

RE: Bones

I've read a couple of Kathy Reichs' books on Temperance Brennan. They're pretty good, so hopefully the show will follow suit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not based on the pilot.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Not based on the pilot.

The pilot isn't very good or it doesn't follow the books?

I've heard it stinks worse than circa 1995 rat-eating Angel must have.

What is even happening?

Well, I'm glad for David. It looks like he'll have a huge, long running hit series on FOX, then.

Well, that's a shame. The books are pretty decent. Not great, but entertaining. Reichs does go on at length on some of the forensics/science stuff that I tend to skim, but the character development is good and Temperance is a likeable, smart lead.
