Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

[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.

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

The story is a bit spoilery on plot, but no more so than a tv guide description.

I know Tim didn't work on Buffy, but I'd be delighted if the 900lb guy was named Balthazar and waved his arms (from the elbows down, of course) yelling, "Unacceptable! Unacceptable!" But I'm easy that way.

I'm sticking with the show because of its pedigree (Tim, the cast), but it hasn't really grabbed me yet. I like it, but I'm more excited about seeing the next Veronica Mars re-run (I didn't watch it so it's new to me.) If I hadn't found a friend to tape VM for me, and if Tim's track record weren't enough to make me stick around -- S2 Angel alone means he'll always get the benefit of the doubt from me -- I'd be watching UPN on Wednesday. Fortunately I don't need to make that decision, but my reaction has been nothing like it was for Wonderfalls where I was appalled by Fox's treatment of it and thoroughly bummed that I wouldn't see the rest of it. And even though I love the DVDs there's still some melancholy because I want to see where the stories would have gone.

Friends don't let friends dismiss Veronica Mars unjustly.

I'm not sure what factors my brain latches onto when deciding whether to like a show or not -- certainly I appreciate a sense of mystery, clear questions being presented (like LOST). I know I like good writing with clever turns of phrase. Good actors are of course, helpful. But there's something I can't quite place that causes me to dismiss many shows and latch onto the ones I really like.

With The Inside, I think the main thing that grabbed me is Web. I don't have a ton of attachment to Rebecca or her issues right now, but I'm fascinated by Web's actions and how he runs his team. With all of the attending questions like "How does he get away with this?" and "How'd he get to this position?" and such. Without Web, I'd be much less interested in the show.

I so can't wait for this episode. William does creepy too well.

I'd be delighted if the 900lb guy was named Balthazar and waved his arms (from the elbows down, of course) yelling, "Unacceptable! Unacceptable!" But I'm easy that way.

BWAH! i'd love this too. i'm wonderin how exactly a 900 lb person is mobile enough to be a serial killer, but i guess i'll find out.

I'm more excited about seeing the next Veronica Mars re-run (I didn't watch it so it's new to me.)

is it bad that i've seen the episodes multitudes of times and i'm still more excited by VM? i like The Inside. quite a bit, actually. but, i have a feeling i wouldn't like it half as much if i didn't know the work of people involved. i trust where they are going to take me with these stories. i don't have that same kind of trust in someone like JJ Abrams.

also? so glad you're liking VM. i have pimped(and continue to pimp) that show like there's no tomorrow.

Veronica Mars does nothing for me at all

Also a first time watcher, loving the VM reruns. And I hate that they're skipping so many of them or at least it seems that way from the previouslies.

Me neither. I watched three or four eps, and then realized I had no interest in either the story or the characters.

Yeah, Wolfram, they went from episode 1 to episode 6 to episode 10, but I think they're getting to the point (episode 12) where the arc (well, one of many) kicks into high gear and they can't afford to skip any episodes. Soon, the rollercoaster will really begin.

Whaaaa? I thought I was just missing 2 or 3 episodes. I better get moving with the torrenting.
