[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.

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

Yay. And yes, that whole scene is so funny and wrong. "I have to express myself, too!"
And my sextenders don't even make a dent in all the pregnant women I've attacked
That really needs to be your new tagline.

So I realized today that's been two years since I found this board. I found it as a result of googling "Wonderfalls", which I had just seen and fallen in love with.
As a direct result of that night, I have moved 3000 miles to a new job, gotten a divorce, and fallen in love with one of the people posting that night.
Um. Thanks? It's been an adventure.
(Darned fate and smushed faced lions...)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Congrats, Kristin! (Although that Minear guy has a lot to answer for.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I gotta be honest -- I did write about two acts of "Expecting." Pretty much the stuff from when they bring Cordy back to Angel's place with her drinking the blood in his fridge and clunking Wesley with the book. But I was only helping.
Why am I not surprised that you're personally responbsible for my favorite parts of the episode? Well, other than the teaser where Cordy's friends think Angel and Wesley are a couple, but you've got to make allowances for your audience there...

"As the Plot Thickens, No One Is Safe" [link]
In the landscape of television dramas, "24" and "The L Word" have little in common.... But this week, the two series have employed an increasingly widespread plot device: in the past 48 hours, both "The L Word" and "24" killed off popular lead characters.
It's sad, really. All these writers, hoping to grow up to be Tim Minear.
eta: Oops. Sorry. There are spoilers for very recent deaths in that article. I kind of thought that was obvious, but apparently it's not.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That article (and that excerpt) is pretty profoundly spoilery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
About future episodes? The excerpt doesn't look spoilery to me for anything that hasn't happened yet.

If, like me, you're on tape-delay for the last two or three weeks of 24, you don't want to know either what's revealed in the article or the excerpt.

If you're on tape delay, NAFDA threads are going to be dangerous places to be.
