Well, Tim's deal is with the FOX studio, which is different than the FOX network. I mean FOX made Buffy the Vampire Slayer which aired on The WB and then UPN, but never on the FOX network. FOX studio also made Angel, which only ever aired on The WB, and Firefly and Wonderfalls, which did air on the FOX network. The studio loves Tim. The network thinks it's going to, but loses its soul, as soon as it sleeps with him.
None of it means a damn thing.

[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.

If only we had an Orb of Thessala, maybe we could bring Drive back.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Does that make their marketing department The Circle of the Black Thorn?

You flatter them. Nothing but showy gypsy stuff.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Some geek.
I didn't know it was a geeky phrase. Just Scottish. Wait...is it a Star Trek thing, or something?
Not a star trek thing, but he has a history of discussions involving SF&Fantasy, and I wasn't limiting him to being a tech geek, just identifying him as a fellow geek, albeit a higher ranking one. The usage of ken is popular enough in SF&F for me to have picked it up there more than from the original scots.
He also refuses to try watching Firefly, so he is a bit suspect, already.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I used to hear it all the time when I lived in Aberdeen. Although it's also possible the people I knew were sci-fi/fantasy nerds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got it from living in the UK, no nerdity required.
