Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

[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.

Yes, and Battlestar Galactica, but the Eureka ep is a surprise. Saw it coming, though, when one of the Eureka writers used the contact form to gush about her.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

That is great news. I enjoyed Eureka last year and am looking forward to the next season.

What is even happening?

Jane's going to be on Eureka now.

That's right. I knew that, somehow. Did we mention it in Boxed Set.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Did we mention it in Boxed Set.
I know I squee'ed about it, and Boxed Set seems likely.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Jane's a busy girl.

David Fury's Walkabout was stunning. Point Pleasant got very watchable towards the end. I really liked Boyd. There's a guy who would have fitted in so well at Wolfram and Hart.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's been Boxed.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Last season there were hostiles and an Agent Finn, among others.

Surely, 24 had "hostiles" before Fury joined up?

I had to check, and according to IMDB Jane did write an ep of the new Andy Richter series. I’ll have to catch it, if it lasts to the 4th ep, because there was an article about it in the Times today and the concept is kinda “Superstar.” Without the magic. I had a huge crush on Jane. You know, the kind of crush one has for a TV writer one has never met.

And I loved Doug, too. And according to the same IMDB he’s been a co-exec on CSI. Who knew? When I think about Doug’s eps I think of water. I don’t mean that in a bad way, but it’s like there wasn’t a Doug stamp on an ep; his stories flowed clean within the arc.

And after not having watched any Buffy for a long time, the other week I watched the trifecta again, Surprise, Innocence, and Passion. I mention this for two reasons- it was fun to experience the headlong rush again, the momentum of those stories, the emotion and the impact and the sheer randy fun of them. I enjoyed recalling sitting in front of the set way back when, amazed that so much had happened in an hour that had passed so quickly. And I also mention this because of Kristen.

I’m swear to God I’m remembering this right, and hope she wouldn’t mind me mentioning it, but a long long time ago, on a board far far away, Kristin cited the scene between Joyce and Buffy at the end of Innocence as... something like an inspiration. Like, this is what she wanted to do. Write stuff like that. The end of Innocence, from Buffy and Giles in the car, to Joyce and Buffy on the couch, is one of the best ten or whatever minutes of TV I’ve ever seen, and somehow seeing that again and remembering that about Kristen tied together for me the shows we love, the fandom cool and crazy, the writers we crush on, the lives on-line we get to watch, and showed it to all be worthwhile.

Who? Us? What do we know from the people who make the shows?

(I don't think before Buffy I'd ever much paid attention to who write, directed and ran the shows I liked. Ah, the oblivious old days.)
