Wolfram, there are fanboys, too, you know. That said, girl, boy, I'm with you on the above.
But the word "fangurl" makes me giggle.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You know, it's apt that we were discussing The 4400 just now, cause the finale brought the HSQ like whoa.
Tim probably would have had Tom lock all the NTAC people in the basement with distempered 4400s, though.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well, after what happened with Kyle, you could play it that way, without too much trouble
But OMG the HSQ.

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
Tim, I love you this {................much.................}
And that love is pretty much unconditional. Like, if you decided to burn puppies alive, or called me a fat cuntface piece of crap, well, I'd have to rethink the love. Those sorts of conditions may apply.
And while I'll support whatever it is you do with ruthless loyalty, if the Spike thing happens, I'm taking a 'net leave of absence for two years and moving to Montana.

DS9 had great arc shows. Great ones.
Just because I wanted to see this said again. Pretty much the only problem with any of the DS9 arcs was that they weren't planning on being an arc show from the beginning, IMO, so they had to go to the retcon well a few too many times.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Oh, my God. Did it ever. Political, epic arcs, emotional arcs, moral ambiguity up the wazoo and conesequences like whoa.

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.
Okay what is it with Montana?
My parents are moving there after retiring? I just wonder what is so good about it? Sorry just a weird rant. Return to the sane people talking.
I agree with you though Allyson. With so many other things in this universe to visit, revisiting Spike is not one of them that screams unfinished story.. Ripper and anything with Faith top my list. But in all honesty, I am just Spiked out. I can't see anything left to tell in his story that would not or has not been told with either Buffy or Angel.
I must say I loved DS9(not as much as TNG) but there was a big love. I think that ended hard with the retconning, uneven writing ,the changing of Dax's, and way the Kira character ended up being written in the latter seasons. Just me though. Arch's are only as good as the overall vision. You have to have a clear motive from getting from point A to point B. To many sidetracks delute the story and bring in viewer confusion.
