You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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?

"Don' be e-scared"
The shout outs are hardly slams on the network. And people are reading in a hell of a lot more than are actually there -- at least on purpose. "Melody" is the inverse of "Harmony?" Wow. I just thought Melody was an ironic name for someone who did that kind of work... the "Harmony" thing never occurred. I never wrote Harmony, that character is really not on my radar at all. She came onto Angel the year after I left. I knew the blue gloves would be taken as a shout out... but that's what props had. It wasn't a plan. And Craig Silverstein named the cat "Angel" when he rewrote that act. So unless there was a character called "Angel" on "Dead Zone," I don't think even THAT was a shout out per se. My shout outs are more along the lines of casting, anyway.
I really enjoyed the teevee.org guy's review. I was pleased that he kept talking about the show the way I meant for it to come across. So it must be on some level for some people.

So in the episode where the victims are named Darrin, Karen, Sharon, Aaron, & Jaye Tyler that's a coincidence?

Totally. I mean, didn't you notice that the first victim spelled Darren with an e ?

Tim, you're harshing on our shoutouts. do you have to crush our shoutout hopes under your boot heel too?

Sure, you say that now. But what about when we get further into it and find out that Paul's baby is named Elm and Rebecca has a sister Twilight.

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 think it's become clear that you just don't know your own work. Clearly.
I think the fact that everyone carries a gun is a SO to Gunn.
