[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.

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

Last night, while we were waiting in line for Buffy at the Parkway, someone proved that he could sing the Drive theme song already. With exaggerated gestures and everything. It was both amusing and disturbing.

If I only had a brain...

Having a petition for a TV show is like offering free blowjobs to George Clooney: possibly emotionally satisfying, but ultimately unlikely to succeed.

And you made my Friday.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Petitions are good at giving an illusion of power, and TV is all about illusions of power, both with viewers and at a creative level.

The UK government started a petition website a few months ago, where people can start and sign petitions. It's a genius PR move.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

unless they don't actually affect any changes and then they only serve to impress the people who have no understanding of how things really work or just like to see their name up in places a lot.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Delusion of power, more like. Is there anyone outside of tv petition organizers who actually buys into the "illusion"?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Awww. I feel like the Obiwan of fandom campaigns.

I have taught you well, young Jedis.

Oh, I'm not arguing they work, msbelle. As brenda m rightly points out, my wording should have delusion, hence why I think the UK govs optional move to allow online petitioning is a great idea (for them).
