Me, too. Also, the implication that the shout-outs are a nose-thumbing to Fox execs. is odd. I always take them as a wink to fans or to friends of the showfolk, neither of which bother me. For, I am a fan. And I (rarely) catch the friend kind, de-gloved Allysons excepted, so they couldn't bug. Interesting take.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

[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

I don't get how the in-jokes are stabs at the network.
Angel was on the WB. FOX had nothing to do with its cancellation. Besides, naming a cat "Angel" and putting "Wolfram" on a uniform are really weak digs if that's the point of the in-jokes (which I highly doubt).
And Buffy ENDED on UPN.
I can respect her opinion on the show, but her whole ending paragraph wasn't really well thought out. Plus, these little fleeting moments don't take me out of the world, or affect the story quality.

No, they're love notes to the hardcore fans.

Yeah, the show analysis seems perfectly reasonable. I should've said that, too. The last part just made me go, "Whuh?" so I got distracted.

Which I am. And proudly. :-D [re: hardcore fan]
Next, Tim should have Rebecca's car be a blue Studebaker. Like Jaye's.
Except I might think it'll break a tail light on its own because of a wax lion on the dashboard that Rebecca got at the zoo who talks to her and helps her with her profiles, and be completely removed from that week's plot. Oops. Better not then.
K, I'm done. Can you tell I'm annoyed?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I'm rooting for Tim.
I got hooked by Web shooting the guy at the end of the pilot. Not quite Mal kicking the guy into the engine, but close enough.
I tape The Inside and watch VM because my UPN reception is so bad that it looks like it is rendered by George Serat.
And, since I wiffed on The Untouchables, let me replace it with The 4400. At least, I Peter Coyote was an FBI guy in that one.
