The first episode shows every sign of continuing in Whedon's tradition of producing TV fiction that is not just liberal, but radical in its political sensibilities, though with a minimum of overt politics.

So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I couldn't finish the article. After the 12th mention of Joss and Buffy, my eyes just glazed over.

Casting an issue as red-state or blue-state is so tired.
It is a television show. If West Wing cannot elect a President, there isn't much to worry about on either side.

Kristen, I was too busy guffawing at the liberal/radical politics that I couldn't get much further.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
Oh, come on! It's plain as day: it's part of the MSM pinko conspiracy! "But it's on Fox," you say? Just shows you how wily those America-hating, queer-loving, marriage-destroying, terrorist-coddling, tree-hugging, pointy-headed liberals are. Wake up and smell the same-sex marriage suicide bombers, people: if The Inside is renewed it's the end of God-fearing America as we know it!

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 love how Tim is painted as just a wee babe, suckling at the teat of the Mighty Whedon, a complete blank slate until he learned to imitate the master.
I was reading posts about the last episode of the inside, and someone was appalled that Web suffered no consequences from hanging the hooker out on a limb and being responsible for her attack. The poster said that obviously Tim had learned nothing from Joss.
I said, "why do you think anything like that would be wrapped in a neat bow at the end of an episode. On Buffy and Angel, consequences would sometimes come seasons later. obviously, you learned nothing by watching joss."
Shit. The episode's plot was about consequences Web was dealing with for something that happened years prior.
Jackass.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'm pretty sure Joss thinks Tim taught him a lot. I mean, you could speculate Angel would have gone off the rails without Tim. Oh, no, wait.

Was that flamebait? 'Cus I gots some flame for that, if it was.

I don't think it's flamebait, Gus. I think it's reasonable that two people who worked closely on two shows likely learned a lot from each other.

Ok, Allyson, I'll flame off. It probably has to do with my not knowing Kevin all that much.
I think I am protective of Joss. I do not know why. He is filthy rich.
Tim, also, is not encumbered for funds.
Fuck 'em both. They can protect themselves.
