'A Hole in the World'
[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.
Dear Tim,
In lieu of a pony, you may instead purchase a spa day for me. Of course, I could also use a box of Kleenex to soak up the tears I weep from the stress. Jewelry is also nice. I like silver. I'm a Winter.
With love,
Your golddigging friend 4evah,
Allyson
My entire face has erupted in painful acne. I'm going to have to go to sleep with a cloth soaked in green tea with camomile covering my whole head just to calm it down.
Awww, Allyson, your poor pretty face!
In case you feel like trying out something new today, here's Jilli's acne-battling recipe, which I plan to make for my own erupting face later today.
What's the spiritual heir (or predecessor) of Profit? I got a guy hooked, and I think he's blaming me for the lack of existence of further episodes. He can totally kick my ass, so I'd like to at least be able to offer him methadone.
He's been into the Buffyverse, so I'm thinking I can calm him down with Angel S2. But that mightn't be enough.

I went to Angel too. Damn that Greenie.
The TV show Action was plenty cynical-player oriented. I think that's coming out on DVD in 2006. The old TV series Buffalo Bill was a comedy, but also dark in that way. It's just out on DVD.
It's a show with a pretty stalwart and true protagonist, but the villains of Pretender remind me of Profit in some ways.
Hmm, "This amoral twisty headfuck brought to you by the letter P!"
Having never seen Profit, every time it comes up here, my mind goes to Vengeance Unlimited (unfortunate title). I liked that show at the time, wouldn't mind seeing the full run.

Yo, dudes, I went to the Seattle Science Fiction museum, and it is awesome. Tragically, it has no Firefly stuff whatsoever. It has Trek out every available orifice, included some specially created for the occasion.
You know, television and movie props are strangely disappointing up close, for the most part; a face-to-face viewer isn't the intended audience, nor is two feet the intended viewing distance. It has to read, not be. One exception was the hand props for Men In Black, which were exquisite. Now I want me an alien gun.

I read that some of the sets (display consoles, etc) on ST:TNG had quirky things written in small text (too small to ever be seen clearly on TV).
As a kid I used to try to imagine what the controls of a tricorder would look like. Later I figured that no matter what they showed, it could never live up to the magical device we saw on TV.
Plus the display is damn small.
I almost bought Profit tonight at Best Buy simply because of the rave reviews i've read here. i didn't. maybe next time.
