Host ,'Not Fade Away'
[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.
I wish he'd been more specific about that.
Go ask! He's pretty good about responding to comments.
The escape of the Global Frequency pilot seems to really have shaken his world, despite him being up on things like save our show campaigns, and Joss's ability to make Serenity despite the Firefly cancellation.
In discussions like these, I always go back to tomatoes.
I loathe tomatoes. Can't stand their smell, let alone their flavor. If I have to slice them, for some poor lost soul who likes them, I have to scrub my hands later until no trace of the scent is left. If by accident a piece finds its way to my mouth, I may go as far as throwing up. I really hate tomatoes.
Which is why I can never realize how anybody would like them. And yet, plenty of people can't imagine their salads without them. People with good taste, people with whom I share lots of tastes myself. I can't wrap my brain around this, but, well, there it is. Some people like tomatoes, no matter how disgusting they may be to me.
So whenever I face some feature of human taste I can't understand, I just have to remind myself that, well, it's impossible to actually understand taste - some people like tomatoes.

Ah, Nilly, my tomato hating sister.
Makes perfect sense to me

fresh, ripe tomatoes
That's fine. More for the rest of us!
I'm feeling less bad about Nilly's BLT deprivation since she'd hate them anyway.
