[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.

Um.

A few weeks ago, I posted about someone claiming The Inside was a clone of Tru Calling. Since then, a "what are you watching" thread has started, and The Inside has been mentioned positively by a few people. Just thought I'd share.

And yes, I did link theinside.org

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Uh.

What, exactly, does The Inside have in common with Tru Calling ? Besides a female lead and the eventual hand of Jane Espenson?

Nothing, if you're at all related to us.

Is that the maid from Wonderfalls?

There was a certain Buffy-reminiscent phrasing there. Not that Buffy's unique in that phrasing. I was just reminded of Buffy. And very much liked Mel's rationale.

I'm just posting as I think here. No deep insights or anything.

My words exactly. I didn't receive a response.

Loved Rebecca's awkwardness when talking about Paul's baby scan.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Last fall Lost and VM were neck and neck in terms of my investment, and over the season Lost ended up in the "barely watchable" category while VM became app't tv.

I loved Lost at first, and VM not so much. The VM love grew for me over the season. Lost managed to switch from one of my favorites to almost unwatchable in the finale. I mean, if they hadn't said from the beginning that they had answers, wimping out wouldn't have bugged me so much, but I rearranged my day and company to catch it, and it was completely not worthwhile. And this is me after I've calmed down about it a lot.

I like this one a lot, so far. The pacing is just a little faster, the give and take snappier, and JANE! Love the Jane.

I love that Tim managed to get a picture of a penis on television.

Snorf. I hadn't even thought of that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"How's it better?"

"It's technology?"

I think I work with these people. Or at least with Carter.
