some of the shine does rub off Christian Kane without a Mutant Enemy script as a buffer between him and the audience
Not if it's replaced by Prince lyrics, for me.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

[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.

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

Oh admittedly, while he's singing? Golden. But the morning (and afternoon) after a night on the town is Not Pretty in any sense of the word.

What is even happening?
I know what the writer means, although my own affection for DB has been increased by those occasions that I've met him, non sequiturs and all.Yeah. Anyone I know who has met him has had nothing but nice things to say about him, and on the DVD commentary, it seems to me that more than once, Joss has commented on what a sweetheart he is. I think I told the story here, or maybe in one of the other threads, about my Bronzer friend who was a valet at his house, for one of his parties. She said that both he and his father went out of their way to make sure the valets were comfortable, and having as good a time as you can when working a party, and were chatty with them. To me, that's a Hollywood equivalent of the "someone who's nice to the waiter is nice" tool of assessment.

Nothing mutually exclusive aobout being nice and nonsensical, of course. In fact, I think I'd take a decent human who confuses me over creep who is brilliantly articulate. Actually, I know I would.

Brimstone.
A great show that did not only did not make it commercially but was critically under-rated.
Among other things it is perhaps the ultimate distillation of the "good cop working for the tough boss from hell" trope.

Oh, that one line still gives me chills:
"Dont be a fool. The only thing I ever loved was God... and that was a LONG time ago!"

I loved Brimstone. I have it on DVD. *cough*

aaaand cereal:
Someone is offering replicas of the reading monkey from Wonderfalls on eBay. They look like good reproductions, and they're reasonably priced. I'm buying a pair.
It says: "These monkeys are identical to the inanimate one used on the set of the show." Wonder if anyone would bid on this thinking it would actually move and talk??
