Well being an unAmerican I have no problem downloading US tv, infact I watch far more on my computer than I do on tv. If not for such tactics I would never have seen The Inside and would've had to wait months/years for Firefly and Wonderfalls (as well as all the shows I'm currently watching, many of which I'd never be able to watch, such as Veronica Mars as it's shown at 6 every day on a stupid channel over here.) I tend to buy all the shows I love on dvd anyway so that helps ease my conscience. In fact I imported Firefly from the US on the day of it's release before I even had a dvd player, also imported Wonderfalls but that'll probably never get a dvd release over here anyway.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
ITV 4 do indeed plan to air all the episodes, Paul. Ta for heads up.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
What does "24-a-like" mean? Cuz I'm tempted to think it means they think The Inside is similar somehow to the show 24. And, if so, in what way? Not that I have seen 24, but from what I have heard, nuh-uh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen 24. I'd say the main similarity is men with gravelly sexy voices. Not sure that's what they meant, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They both have people who work for the government and go places, right? They're practically clones!

It's so nice to see that Minearverse is the new Natter. Especially since Minearverse is the only one I have a prayer of even thinking of keeping up with. To let you know how much I'm keeping up with Minearverse, I still haven't finished squeeing about Kristen.
I'm looking forward to the future where we can have "The Kristenverse."
Totally wrod.

We (it was Allyson's idear) sent Kristen flowers today. That was good. I hope she wins. But whatever, it proves that she's got a spec that will rise to the tops of desks no matter what.
Can we please say "non-American" rather than "un-American?" I feel like ya'll are testifying before a senate subcommittee.

We have to say un-American, Tim. Joss made us that way. Speaking through his prophet, Rebecca Rand Kirshner.
