For some reason I feel responsible for them.

[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

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
It will pass in about six years.
Can we move that up to six months? I'm getting tired.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
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.
I shoulda warned y'all: that's someone on my flist who wrote the column, so I'm mildly defensive on her part. Sadly, she doesn't have the joy of knowing Allyson and her beautiful hair, so she wouldn't have caught that shoutout.
browncoats who don't know Allyson? Foolish, foolish peoples.

Add a Wonderfalls toaster for me. Pretty soon, I'll have all of Alaska (or at least Juneau) hooked on all the wonder of Tim. Yeah me!

Heh. I figured there was a connection because of SmartTV - that's actually why I made a point of saying that article itself seemed a perfectly sound critique to me instead of just pointing out the part that made me scratch my head. (Well, that, and I didn't want to just sound all whiny and stuff).
She just loses me in that final paragraph, where she seems to be saying that shoutouts=an attempt to stick it to Fox execs. I don't see the basis for making that connection; in my mind, shoutouts=giving fans (and/or friends) a happy.

At least, I Peter Coyote was an FBI guy in that one.
You know what else he was in? Legend of Billie Jean, baby! Yeah!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
He was also a mysterious government guy in E.T.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
He was also himself in Commune, on which I was an editor. Making me two degrees from Tim. Yay!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The Closer, well, first I need to get past my annoyance with Brenda, because I do find the concept interesting. The woman gets lost on her way to the grocery store, talks to her dad on the phone, and has enough attitude to make the sweet southern honey bite and sting like a bee.
Hey! I talk to my dad on my phone, too!!1!

She had kind of a lock-the-lawyers-in-the-wine-cellar Angel moment there last night that was pretty cool.
My dad calls my phone and leaves messages for the dog. Does that count?
