[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Nothing is certain at this point, I'm afraid.

Just grim death of your characters and taxes.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Nothing is certain at this point, I'm afraid.

Ack! I was sort of resigned to the cancellation, but that was because I figured I'd at least get to see the episodes on the DVD.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Nothing is certain at this point, I'm afraid.

Just grim death of your characters and taxes.

And Prison Break promos every single commercial break.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

But when casting the role of Nude Alien Vampire, Lifeforce hit it out of the park.

Well, I didn't say it was all bad.

At the risk of sounding like a total suck-up, I'd love to see Tim's take on the novel. (Either one will do ... Minear or Burton :)

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

Aidan disturbed me more ... before the credits I think ... than any other episode of The Inside.

I really liked it.

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

I'm not sure why it took me this long, but I just realized that Jay Harrington looks a lot like Sean Maher. In fact, during the opening scene, I actually exclaimed, "Ooh, it's Simon!"

The evil is this way?

Okay, I've now read two "Serenity" reviews that casually mention that Joss is married to Jewel Staite. IS NOT! I love Jewel, but I know Kai and she's the wifey!

The on-line Variety review was edited and now no longer says that Jewel is Joss' wife. A point which is a great relief to Joss' and Jewel's real life spouses, I'm sure.

A quick drop-in to share an excellent review of Wonderfalls from DVDVerdict:

Every once in a great while, an experience comes along that defies explanation. So different and so captivating, it's as if you're breathing fresh air for the first time. It immediately hooks you. You savor it. You crave it. And just like that, with little or no explanation, it's gone. A cruel twist of fate. Perhaps we just weren't ready for it. Perhaps its star burned as brightly as it could for as long as possible. Perhaps it was born into existence simply to show the world what could be, inspiring others to take up the torch and break new ground. Whatever the reason, you celebrate that experience and honor its passing. Such is the legacy of Wonderfalls...

Had the network given Wonderfalls a full-season commitment and complete promotional support, this would have been the watercooler show of the 2003-4 season. It's just that good! The writing and direction are fresh and inventive. The cast is one of the finest ensembles ever assembled. And the message it conveys is something we rarely see: Life is an adventure rich with unforeseen possibilities, so quit trying to control everything and enjoy the ride! Purchasing this DVD set sends a signal to the entertainment industry that audiences will seek out quality entertainment, despite the shortsightedness of network programming executives.

This court finds Fox Television executives guilty of first-degree series-cide. Their continued inability to see and appreciate the valuable assets they have on hand calls for a change in management and direction. Sentence is set for 50 seasons of solitary confinement with nothing but continuous reruns of excruciatingly painful shows that should have never lasted one season, let alone eight or ten, handpicked by Wonderfalls fans. Justice is served. Court adjourned.

You know, I enjoyed the show a lot, but by the end of that I expected him to say that Wonderfalls cured cancer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I know I didn't have cancer when I finished watching Wonderfalls.
