I'm guessing it might not have been her kind of show.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Also just seen Skin and Bones and it was one of, if not the, best episode of the show (bar "Declawed") and was glad it explained why Rebecca kept getting kidnapped...
Now why won't Fox release this on DVD already? (Sorry if that question is redundant but I want commentaries and other things that only DVD can do.)

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
I want to do a commentary!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Fans got to do one of the commentaries for "Freaks and Geeks" and I have to say I was regretting I wasn't active on the F&G board so that I could have been selected. The fans did a better job of commentary in some ways than the principals. Too many commentary tracks really fall into the category of "actors and directors shooting the shit with each other". Though that's interesting in that you get insight into people's relationships with each other, it wears thin after 15 min. Most DVD commentaries are pretty lame, honestly. I wish more people did commentary like John Sayles. His commentaries are so damned interesting because they really go into the movie-making process.

Sometimes I prefer the less goal-oriented commentaries. While the producer/actor track on the SGA pilot was interesting in an academic sense, hearing about various choices made while the episode was being shot, it was a lot more entertaining to hear Tori Higginson and Rachael Luttrell joking with each other and giggling over McShep subtext.

I love JW's for Objects in Space. Also, anything where he got together with NF. I think I'd probably like those two reading the phone book.
Firefly was the first show that I systematically listened to all of the commentaries, and I've been disappointed with most tv or movie commentaries since.

The cure for that would be listening to Katie Finneran on the Wonderfalls DVDs. Best. Commentator. Ever.
Good Lord, did I actually manage to make a post that was on thread topic?

Wonderfalls was good, and I liked a fair amount of Angel and Buffy, so perhaps I should have said almost all non-Minearverse/-Whedonverse commentary has been disappointing.

I don't think anyone really cares as long as it works.
"Skin and Bone" was indescribable. I'm glad we got to know what Rebecca really thinks (thought - now in the past tense, damn it) of her co-workers.
Damn shame this isn't on DVD.

[insert something funny here]
Skin and Bone was excellent, pretty much all round.
Damn shame this show did not continue. Grrrr.
