Buffistas

You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Tossing another "doll" story into the mix: Valley of the Dolls. I have to admit, I thought Ibsen first, but very quickly skipped right over to Valley of. Ibsen had Nora, but Valley had...well, more than one doll in the dollhouse.

Can't we all just get beyond the Valley of the Dolls?

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

Re the title - I went straight to Welcome to the Dollhouse. Which I hated for a variety of reasons unrelated to the title but may well be contributing to my initial "ick" reaction here. I shall try to focus on Ibsen instead.

During the first season? Really? MAYBE at the end of the second episode, but prior to that she was batshit crazy, IMO.

Well, I meant more in general. But even in that episode, I dunno. When the other people in the room are Lindsey & Lilah, or Angel & Wesley, you can be pretty crazy and still win.

Plus, she came up with a darn good suicide plan.

Oh, ack. I watched a lot of that on fast-fwd.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Not going to worry about it. Even though we try to make it our problem, how many episodes get shown is not under our control There is an old engineering cliché : "No solution, no problem". There will be however many episodes there will be. If there are not as many as we would like, I'm going to count on the scripts of any episodes we don't see being put on-line. And if it becomes a hit series and there are seven seasons , so that this is not needed -- so much the better.

Typo Boy is me. I'm so far behind that I'm still just excited about any new Joss/Tim collaboration. Whee!

I love that Sars picture so very much.
