Also, HIPPO BIRDIES, MATT!!!!

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

Which Canadian dude?

TiVo grabbed "Mind's Eye" for me. You know, I hadn't realised it was directed by Kim Manners. I so don't pay attention.

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

This guy, ita: heywriterboy.blogspot dot com

I'm not linking because he follows his referrer logs and then cries onhis blog about how fans either don't get it or want his job.

He's kind of like one of those guys who hits on you in a bar and when you shoot him down, he either calls you a dyke or fat. He can't believe anything could possibly be wrong with him.

Well, and he's a Yankees fan. From Toronto.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The blogger who loathed me

My cyber-nemesis had been trashing me for months. Then we met, and I had a chance to take a terrible revenge.

This is the part that stuck in my craw, and probably hit because I was a Bronzer, and hey, I'm posting in Minearverse:

re: fans - Not because they're not the single most important thing any show has going for it. But because you can't let them poison your experience of the world you've created. Just as you should not poison theirs. What does it matter if the symbolism you created in your show meant something different to someone else? So long as they're not willfully or crazily misinterpreting it (ie: "They're in purgatory!") let it ride. Allow them their ownership, and preserve your sanity, by maintaining the Chinese Wall between you.

See, the part that pissed me off is the idea that I'm supposed to buy the LOST company line, "We have a plan." Hey, JJ Abrams has a history of stringing people along for years on some great mystery and you end up with a big red ball and zombies. Pardon me if I don't believe that there's a plan.

Oh and this

there's just no talking to these people.

Bite me.
