[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.

( continues...) Mal would have shot him without blinking, either, wouldn't he? He would have never ever put Rebecca in that place, but he would have shot that killer without a moment's hesitation. But Mal also didn't work for the same system that's supposed to take care of those kind of criminals. Web scares me and fascinates me at the same time.

Web said "That's my girl", but the next minute, he tells Paul to take care of her, which pretty much can say "save her from me". Which did he mean? Both? Are they the same thing and Paul doesn't even know it?

I really like Paul, still don't really know Rebecca (even though she gave the line that pinged the "me! ME! I know this!" buttons for me), and am fascinated by Web. I guess there was no time to get to know the other main characters in just the one episode, right? But I loved what I read! I am even more curious now about the characters and what will happen to them and what are their past relationships and how will their future relationships will shape out to become, but that only makes me love what I got to read even more. Thank you, Kristen!

[Edit: Oops, I have some silly timing. Didn't mean to disturb the conversation or anything.]

"Don' be e-scared"

As Allyson said, it makes one's mind go to the Micheal Moore thing and the pres-as-doofus of it, which tickles me. But I'll have no rage. So backing away now.

Nilly! That was fun. Well, for me. Wonder why?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Thank you, Jessica. I put off seeing that movie for a long time because my own depression was enough to handle without adding the Administration on top of it. I only finally saw it a couple months ago. I remember the scene now that I've read that defintion (transcript), but I must have repressed it.

eta: And if you'll permit me to ask a stupid question - Nilly said Minearverse was about soaps and crafts...and certain TV shows. I naively assumed it was about certain TV shows. How'd it develop the culture to be about soaps and crafts as well? Is Tim particularly into those?

Well, that was fun for me!

Or, not "fun", because of the gasping and the oh-my-goodness and the ouches in my head. So some other word, that's less merry than fun, but still keeps the meaning?

I can't wait to read the following ones. I wish there weren't missing ones in Kristen's list, though, for story-in-order purposes.

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

Hey Tim, if you're still here I have a fannish question...:

If The Inside had continued what direction would you have taken with season 2 and the Pony Man?

I think that's pretty much the extent of my curiosity.

Spidra, I was trying to joke. Soaps and crafts are the main topic that the natter in this thread (which happens in each and every thread) happened to go it, for quite a few hunderds of posts. So your first assumption is 100% correct.


JenP - Apr 24, 2006 11:12:16 am PDT #9567 of 10001

Spidra, it's just where the conversation has gone from time to time. Soaps and crafts. And procrastination.

"Don' be e-scared"

Jackal, considering I'm usually still breaking a story and way behind while it's prepping... uh. Er. Someplace? I figured he'd be the big bad of the season. One thought was to have Pre-Filer either get released or escape and have him offer Pony Man up to Rebecca.

Aw, Nilly did her spicy brain thing, and now I want to rewatch.
