[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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Clearly, Bryan Lourd is a lurking Buffista.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but Nikki Finke says the agents saved the day:
Nikki has been advocating for the agents to serve as intermediaries for a while, since brokering deals is what they do for a living.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I know. Who knew she was right? I'd never heard of her before the strike, but apparently she's quite well regarded.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

As it sounded like an eminently reasonable solution, when I first heard about it, I refused to believe that such a plan could succeed in this universe, which seems to specialize in the intemperate and unreasonable.

Art Crawl!!!
I suspect it was Polgara's strong words that had the biggest impact, though. When the inventor of the internet is cheesed off, people pay attention.
OMG- Polgara is Al Gore?!!??

That was pretty much my reaction too.

We so totally should have realized because Polgara is almost an anagram for Al Gore.

What is even happening?
Yeah, I know. Who knew she was right? I'd never heard of her before the strike, but apparently she's quite well regarded.
She's also sometimes regarded as a nut, but she's stayed right on this story with the ferocity of a pitbull, so go her.
