Nice acronym, Mom!

Buffy ,'Showtime'


The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax  

[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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe we should change the name of the a game to Six Degrees of Tim Minear.

Word. The How I Met Your Mother rerun from tonight is the one with Morena Baccarin and Tom Lenk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I also love Wendy's sacchrine WHACKO. She's such a sweetheart. Until.

To me, she'll always be that little girl who helped Kate Winslet beat her mother to death with a brick wrapped in a picnic blanket.

I think I like the real Alex Tully, but I want him to be played by Viggo Mortensen. Can we have that please?

I was all ready to vote for Army Guy and Annoying Wife to have their car tragically burst into flames, but then they had their "I don't want you to die" moment and now I don't hate them anymore. Damnit.

Winston, were you in jail when The Matrix came out? The woman in the red dress is only ever there to distract you!

It was a woman in red who lured John Dillinger to his death. You'd think they'd learn.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, that is kind of ancient history.

Oh, and yeah, 24 is barely pulse raising after this show.

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

To me, she'll always be that little girl who helped Kate Winslet beat her mother to death with a brick wrapped in a picnic blanket.

Yes! I watched that just this weekend, so it's like extra-special surreal!

I think I like the real Alex Tully, but I want him to be played by Viggo Mortensen. Can we have that please?

Sure. You can have that one. I'll keep the NF version.

Whee, everybody wins!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Sean and Winston are the Salazar brothers

I get the giggles at the thought of the "thug" Salazar bro growing up in his neighborhood with the name "Winston."

I know! This is cracking me up about their names!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Note to self: need red dress.

To me, she'll always be that little girl who helped Kate Winslet beat her mother to death with a brick wrapped in a picnic blanket.

Oh, THAT's who she is! Now it all falls into place in my head.

"Winthton." You know he got it. I mean, there is no way to make that name cool. "W-dawg" ain't doing it.

Viggo can't do the This-Close-to-Killing-You-With-My-Neck-Veins Face of Your Imminent Doom like Nathan. Nobody can do that face like Nathan can.

Because books.

Heavenly Creatures was a great movie. Based on, I think, the murder of Anne Perry's mother. Or something.

Nobody can do that face like Nathan can.

Oh yeah. My NF has grown exponentially. And it was pretty damn big before.

Another social casualty...

I want to like this show. I really do. I have an unreasonable love for the way NF flares his nostrils. I like Los Hermanos Salazar. I have a healthy desire to throttle almost everyone else, which is a helpful way to channel my post-rush hour on I-4-commute agression.

However, as someone who has lived both in the middle of the Mojave Desert and in Gainesville, Florida, I can tell you with absolute certainity that the two landscapes look nothing like each other.

The biggest, longest laugh I had in tonight's episode was Corrina complaining that they would never leave Florida at the exact, precise moment that she was backed by the stunning mountains of California.

Tim, dude, you can make a Wax Lion talk. Why can't you photoshop out the mountains? Why can't you add some greenery? My disbelief can only be suspended so far.

I hate that I'm complaining about this, and it upsets me that I am this thoroughly agitated by this. I remember driving from Gainesville to Orlando when the swamps along the sides of the roads were so flooded that alligators were roadkill. You could drive 75 miles an hour down the highway and count dozens of gators lurking in the ditches along the side of the road.

I hereby offer my tour guide services of Central Florida to any entertainment producer type. I will even throw in a trip to Disney World. Please come to my home; take pictures; make some home movies; take notes. As Vi told us tonight, it's important to get the details right.

Alternately, don't show us the landscapes, because you're only going to annoy people in other states.

Ok, done now.

So, how about NF's nostrils?
