Hey Nilly! I'm so pleased you're going to get to see these episodes.
PoO never aired here in the US. We skipped over it and saw Thief of Hearts and Declawed. (Aidan was going to air next but then the show went on "hiatus.")
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.
Buffy ,'Get It Done'

[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.

Swouncing
Kristen! Thanks.
We skipped over it and saw Thief of Hearts and Declawed. (Aidan was going to air next but then the show went on "hiatus.")
Last night we had "Thief of Hearts" (and its name was even translated correctly! Which was a good thing, considering I hadn't read its script and therefore couldn't actually check which episode it was and get myself spoiled). So I'm assuming they're following the USA order, now that they've realized they should go forwards with the order of the episodes instead of backwards or randomly.
I still didn't get to watch a single episode. They're on after midnight, ending on around 1am, and even if I could stay awake, I can't turn the volume on, so that I wouldn't wake my roommates. And on most of the other hours of the day, the tv is on the news, so I can't stop people from watching that for a bit of escapism. But I'm taping very faithfully.
[Edit: oh, and on an Israeli tv site I just saw a little discussion about the references to past shows on "The Inside", like the Wolfram company, the "Once More With Feeling" sign, and they specifically mentioned that it's there because Tim worked not only on "Firefly" and "Angel", but, yes, on "Buffy", as well. That mistake is now officially international, crossing oceans and languages. They spelled his name in Hebrew, so I couldn't tell if they were misspelling it in spirit, to go along with it, as well.]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
now that they've realized they should go forwards
What? They were reading right-to-left! It was an honest mistake!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Tim should just make up an episode he did for Buffy. Just retcon it into existence.

There was the spec script. I say gather nieces and nephews (are there any?) of gradeschool age and videotape a backyard theater performance.

Tim didn't have a Buffy spec. He had an X-Files one. IIRC, it's the only spec he wrote.
ETA: He did have a Buffy pitch, I think, involving Xander.

Ah, that's the thing I'm thinking of then. Was it just a brief outline?

I think he talked about it at the Expo thing. But it's entirely possible I'm confused. I can't remember all the details.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Recapper Tubeys are up, and The Inside "wins" something!
Best Justification For Leatherface
If the show had survived long enough to feature a serial killer who sought out self-righteous busybodies, Paul Ryan of The Inside would have been hanging on a meat-hook. -- Strega
