Oh yeah. Geek that I am, I went back and timed it to discover that the exact moment I fell in love with it was only half as far into the pilot teaser as the same moment for Buffy. Jaye had me at "Princess wasn't having any of that."
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[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.

Hey. New board.
Jaye had me at "Princess wasn't having any of that."
Oh my God I LOVED that teaser. Although I had some friends that were annoyed by it because it just felt so incredibly Dead Like Me. They realized it was their own show rather quickly into the series, but they had serious issues for a while.

The evil is this way?
I love you, Matt.
Which means that Tim will totally try to kill you in his next series.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I fell in love with Wonderfalls at "I surrender to destiny" during the teaser. I'm not sure when I got totally involved with Buffy, as I didn't catch it from the beginning. (I think Band Candy might have been the one that really hooked me, but I can't actually remember.) I didn't really consider Angel on it's own merits until S3, I think.

She can't kill me. I'm not corporeal.

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
