No, the contract would not prevent her soul from being destroyed, only from her giving it to someone else, or becoming a vampire. (since the soul isn't destroyed, it's "gone")
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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
Cranky showrunnerboy Ira Steven Behr:
"The other thing that reminds me of 'Deep Space Nine,'" he says, "is I just don't understand why it's so [hard for fans to understand]. If you want a pacifier, you can get them for 99 cents at Sav-On drugs down the block. If you want to suck on something that's going to make you feel protected and warm and all cuddly, they have those things. They're made of rubber, and you stick them in your mouth.
"Television is supposed to be fun and adventurous, at least genre television allegedly is. It just seems that the shift in tone should not be so traumatic."

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Ira's been smoking the Brannon Braga shit.
Put the pipe down, baby.

The pacifier makes me think it's ecstasy instead.

Really? I kept thinking, "awww, are him's witty bitty diamond shoes too tight?"

That I don't think Brannon would share.
I really, really, REALLY hate writers/actors slagging on the fans. Even the craxy ones.
It's one thing to objectively identify the craxy and distance for self-preservation. It's a whole other thing to blame the audience for not being who you want them to be.
It's classless.
And, I think the button's cooled off now, so I'm back to lurking.

I don't see him saying anything I don't regularly say about fandom. So, yeah, it's hard for me to see a problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I mainly think it's funny that he thinks The 4400 is a challenging and complicated show.
I mean, I watch it, and I enjoy it, but it's like genre comfort food. I enjoy it because being an X-Files fan was extremely stressful, and it's nice to watch a show that's in that same vein but that requires no real thought or emotional investment.
