Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

I thought people got carried away by Joss's comment at Whedonesque, because it really could have been a stray comment. It wasn't exactly hard confirmation.

Have a link? I heard he confirmed it, but I haven't seen. So will his entire episode be a oner?

But I've since read that the studio has confirmed it.

...Or have they? I don't want to perpetuate any 'splodey heads.

The studio is only responsible for making the show, Cindy. You can't expect them to know who's making it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I swear to god, I almost tried variations of tightpants, but then I thought, "No, that's silly."

If I only had a brain...

Apropos 'whore in church' -- I just had to explain the text and subtext of 'come to Jesus meeting' to a Buddhist co-worker. So embarrassing.

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

Would it be embarassing for you to explain it to my non-Buddhist self? I seem to be missing something.

My former bosses usually used the phrase "Come to Jesus meeting" when we'd have to call someone on the carpet about whatever they were doing wrong, and let them know they were on thin ice and better get in line.

What is even happening?

I've never had it explicitly explained, but I always took it to mean how it's used in Monique's context.

My guess is that it is short hand for being shown the error of your ways, and your need to repent.
