[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.
If baby connor had just disappeared into Quortoth, I would have been okay with it all. I hated VK Connor so much.
I still kind of wish that they'd done something along of the fic I wrote after Holtz and baby disappeared.
I swore that the entire Connor arc was Minear's way of scaring us all into double bagging.
And, snerk!
Season 4 after "Orpheus" I watched from the hall. Except "Home."
The "Whatever you do, DON'T push this button to play the video" text reminds me of Victorian Latin texts. They didn't want the naughty bits of Catullus to offend schoolboys...
so they put them all in the back of the book in one section.
That's my favorite part. "Whatever you do, DONT LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"
Poor dear empty heads. Send your kid to bed at 8 with a glass of warm milk and a bible.
Oh, you know, it reminds of Time Bandits at the end when the little boy screams, "MOM! DAD! Don't touch it! It's EVIL!"
And of course they immediately reach out and poke the smoldering chunk of evil and explode.
I love Gilliam.

One of my Latin profs told us a story about how when she was in college, her professor had said, "Now, tomorrow we will be reading Catullus, so all of the ladies should stay home." The next day, all the women in the class were seated in the front row. The prof looked out, saw them, and said, "As I see we have no ladies in the class today, we can begin."
I think that's funny.
Also, the Parents' TV Council thing made my boyfriend like The Inside even more. If that's possible.
Bizarre.
Were I a parent I think would be more concerned that a parental watchdog site seemed to think that kids might be up watching such adult shows, than any specific content of the shows themselves.

Yes. This. Many (not all) of those watchdog sites seem to take a prurient delight in how eeeevil secular culture is. The fact that they highlight a "Worst of the Week" does nothing to allay those suspicions.
I'd be more inclined to take a site like that seriously if it simply had a list of shows with "graphic violent content", etc. along with networks and times.
