I'm sorry Tim. I spent the weekend pimping the show.Now I feel bad for everyone involved.

Why do you go other places?

Once upon a time, this was an other place.

Once upon a time, this was an other place.

Pish-tosh. I refuse to believe that the Buffista Boards have not always existed, pristine and archtypal in perfection as a platonic message board in the mind of god. So there.

In other, less delusional news, I find myself agreeing with Nilly. (Big news there). At least we got what we got, and 13 eps of brilliance is better than no eps of brilliance, or hundreds of eps of mediocracy.

Once upon a time, this was an other place.

Yeah, it was, but you have to admit we know how to take care of you. How about a nice cup of tea and some cookies?

Or would you prefer boilermakers at this point?

See. I have this vision in which there are Allyson-and-Kristen commentaries available for download. Kevin said he'd do all the tech stuff, which unless he's gonna fly out to Cali would mostly involve hosting the files, I think (and I must admit, TI.org makes more sense as a host for such a project than jossisahottie.com does). Am I the only person who thinks of this as a genuine, honest-to-Kitty possibility?

And I should stop reading other boards.

Oh, duh, you're Merciless. And here I thought there was some other person running around with inside Inside information. Geez, I'm dumb. I responded to that guy too.

You should stop even talking about it, because now I'm getting all morbidly curious and want to know where these other boards are so I can spectate on the trainwrecks and hate on everyone's pathological clue deficit. I know no good can come of it, and yet I want to.

I know I've hardly checked in on this thread at all before, but damn, I'm sorry. I've been quietly watching and watching and getting slowly drawn in by the stories, the darkly beautiful and horrifying look of the show, the excellent ensemble. It deserves better marketing, a bigger push, just more of a chance.

Should be noted that Buffy would have been canceled after four episodes if it aired on FOX, today.

Yup. It's infuriating and discouraging and crazy-making. I keep looking back through the mists of time to MSCL, the first time I got involved in fandom and save-our-show efforts; I can remember how outraged everyone was that we only got the one season, just 19 lousy episodes, and that the writers were already working on scripts for the second season and we'd never see them and it was just so unfair. And now, fuck! 19 whole episodes that actually all aired, in order, without the fans having to beg and whine at the DVD-marketing arm of whoever owned the show seems like such an unbelievable luxury.

I can throw large paragraphs at your screen, if it may help.

I believe it's safe to say that large Nilly paragraphs always help.

Crapping crap crap!

I finally catch up on the show, and the Minearverse threads, and it's bloody cancelled! Argh!

And yes, I realise it's not all about me, but I can't help but feel like someone somewhere is laughing at me.

Or maybe laughing at us all...

pathological clue deficit

JZ dear, may I have this? I promise to shine it faithfully and install it as my tagline.

Good heavens, certainly! I'd be honored.
