Very nice, indeed. I particularly like how you handle the criticism of Dollhouse: appreciating supposedly conflicting viewpoints without denigrating either.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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.

Noam Chomsky and his Mind Wiped Whores! I mean, I do recognize that particular blind spot of Joss, but I also think that the early criticisms of Dollhouse didn't come close to what he attempted and achieved with that show. Which (to me) became less and less about fluid identities than about the corrupting influence of buying. It's actually essential that the Dolls are for rent. That's something he was able to spin around politics and media and the commodification of every desire.

Should be a band name.
And David, that was, indeed, a treat.

On reread, I suppose some might take that as denigrating, but I really loved how balanced it was. And Shir is right, that's a great band name!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Buffy marathon on Logo - "Conversations With Dead People" just started.
And "Him" just ended, sigh. Not a good episode, but a couple of great moments. Principal Wood doggedly plowing through paperwork at his desk, completely oblivious as Buffy charges his window with her rocket launcher and Spike tackles her? Still funny. Probably will never not be funny.
Oh! Here comes Holden up out of his grave!

What is even happening?
I'm watching Sleeper on Logo, right now, but I tuned in after Spike bit Teppy.
eta...
And now it's time for the big Schrödinger's Giles misdirect that amounted to exactly nothing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What was the episode of Angel where somebody was living in a fake suburban hell getting his heart cut out every day? And who was it?
