Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Speaking of which, my girlfriend fancies Dexter. Should I be worried?

It depends. I fancy Dexter a bit, but part of that is Michael C. Hall looking very fit and pulling off a fantastically nuanced performance; it's not like I'm planning to write love letters to convicted serial killers or lurk around prisons. I don't find sociopathy a turn-on.

As long as they're on the television screen it's cool to be fascinated by these ruthless characters. But if, for example, Angel (of the eponymous series) actually existed, I would very much want him to be completely unaware of my existence.

Angelus, yes. Angel I would want to meet for coffee (even though it makes him jittery)

No, I'm with Matt. Angel on his own is pretty good at screwing up his friends lives. Plus, if you are known to Angel, you are known to Angelus.

There's a new interview out with Bryan Fuller. Amongst things, he talks about the network interference on Wonderfalls and how seasons 2 and 3 would have developed.

Depending on how you view the late Season 5 rift with Buffy and her associates (mostly Willow), Angel may have ended with Angel having only 1 surviving friend, and that one 10 minutes from bleeding out.

What is even happening?

Simon, thanks so much for that link. I'd known Bryan was working on Heroes, but forgot all about it. I've got a little bit of my WF bitterness back, though. Darn it. I loved that show beyond reason.

Warning, there's some spoilery pictures for Heroes in that article.
