That was long before Firefly. Right? Seems to fit the OB perfectly. Thanks for the laugh.
Right back to the beginning. Not the Bang, not the Word. The true beginning.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.
Not the Bang, not the Word. The true beginning.
The true beginning that started, oh, say, 10 years ago?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Fan Entitlement. It has been and will always be with us.
(I'm sure there was crap like this in the 70s with 'zines and apas, but it just took longer to get a kerfuffle going)

(Actually, I did mean the 'zines and cons, and all the ur-fandom stuff, but I wanted to use a Buffy quote, because of the day.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had an apa-kerfuffle one time back in the late '70s with Nancy Collins - oh, excuse me, Nancy A Collins - who wrote for Swamp Thing, back before she had anything published. She was a nasty bitch to me for no reason whatsoever and never apologized. I was about 16 and she's 4 years older, so, you know, neither of us were real mature at the time. (About five year later I dated her ex and didn't even know it until we all crossed paths at a con.)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I just saw the ratings in table form for The Inside today. Although the numbers were obviously low across the board, it still showed a substainal jump from episode 1 to episode 2 (good), and climbed up nearly every week. The final episode aired was the highest rated.
I would deduct that although The Inside never found it's audience to sustain the show, it still built upon it's audience week to week. Which is good. Comparing it to Firefly, Firefly had a drop off from the first episode, and then struggled to maintain the audience. The Inside last aired episode had more viewers than Firefly's last aired episode ("Serenity").

Drive promos on MadTV and Fox News today. Of course, people watching Fox News might confuse them for an actual news story.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I wish we wouldn't do this. I know it's commonplace on the boards, but it's always just possible that someone of a different political view might end up being a fan of the show.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Fox News has protected minority status now?
