[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.

Does he like carrots?

Oddly enough, yes.

What is even happening?

I think I've asked this before, but if so, I've failed to retain the information.

What's the difference between getting a "written by" credit and a "teleplay by" credit, on a TV episode? Is the story more collaborative on the teleplay, and the writer only scripts the dialogue, or is it something different?

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.

Teleplay usually means someone else has come up with the story other than the writer of the actual script. Written by means that the writer has both broken the story and written the teleplay. I think.

More "Drive" casting news. Two guys you probably don't know, but you sure will -- Andres Saenz-Hudson and Shahine Ezell. They're now brothers. Guess you'll just have to stick around.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

They're now brothers.

Did they do some weird DNA-sharing thing?

The evil is this way?

They're now brothers.

You have the power to do that? It's sort of a reverse Tower of Babel thing -- instead of dividing people, you make them related. Cool.

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

Shut up.

You shut up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Children! Don't make me turn this thread around!

I can, and I will!

Remember that exchange between Allyson and Kristen. Should come clear in several months.
