Buffistas

I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

[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.

The explanation for Profit's green suit made me laugh and laugh. I should warn you that the "Forgiveness" commentary is probably the least interesting, because they're actually watching the show a lot of the time -- Pasdar mentions he's never seen it at the top.

I just showed the pilot episode to a friend I haven't seen in, I dunno, 10 years? Which made me nervous, because it's a tricky thing to show to someone you don't know that well. But she was pretty much in awe, and laughed in all the right places. And we watched "Smile Time" afterwards because that's required viewing.

Oh, yes, and while looking over my DVDs she was all, "Wonderfalls! I loved that!"

So I figure I'll show her all of Profit, and then Brass Eye, and if she hasn't run screaming from me by then, we'll try Jam.

Oh, Strega, I loved that. "But I know that it's St. Patrick's Day." The last commentary was definitely the least interesting but, at least, there were a lot jokes about Adrian's hair.

So you're saying the show was like training for Greenwalt to work with DB later on?

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

I came home to find Priscilla Queen Of The Desert being recorded by my TiVo.

Yes, I get Logo. Which reminds me -- I should go tell it I love Wonderfalls.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I get Logo and the fun of Wonderfalls on my TiVo. I did not know that Logo was the Gay Channel. Which means they sometimes show Le Tigre videos.

You live like 3 feet from the Castro and didn't overhear anyone talking about Logo as the Gay Channel? You should say 30 Hail Marys in penance the next time you turn on the TV and find "Deceptacon" playing.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

They also keep showing Psycho Beach Party, bless them.

Nobody talks to me in the Castro. I only ping the gaydar of straight people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Which reminds me -- I should go tell it I love Wonderfalls.

Yes. Consider it a training session.

"But I know that it's St. Patrick's Day."

I think it was "Profit would know..." which I'm only being pedantic about because I think that makes it funnier.

I thought it was interesting, in light of "Angel," that somewhere in there Greenwalt said that a lot the show was about the question: can you overcome your past and become a different person? And then he sorta laughed and said that as far as he was concerned, the answer was no.* I really like him.

(*Just to be clear, he didn't mean that people can't make different choices; I think he just meant that you can't ever wipe the slate clean.)
