...Huh. I've never felt like I was summoned from the ether before.

I bow before your timely arrival.

Maybe I should change my name to Hastur.

I do believe my point has been made.

So, Plei, how's the Farscape re-watch going? Inspired to fic?

Also, we are far from monolithic in our opinions. I shudder to think what a television show would look like that actually appealed to all of us... Heh.

It is the lack of uniformity of opinions, and the verbosity of the members here that makes for the fun.

There is the occasional universal agreement on excellence or suckitude, but there is also an abundance of in-depth discussion of our entertainment choices. That is what we do. We pick apart costumes, dialogue, math, plot, and hair color. Is this not our raison d'etre?

There have been times when many of us have appreciated feedback and Buffista feedback is quality feedback from my experience.

You forgot the most important thing: sandwiches.

Voting methods.

Grammar.

you guys have no idea how indispensible this feedback is. It goes right to the top and we all discuss it.

...huh. Anyone else a little scared? You already have nonplussed covered.

Hampered by my desire to actually watch The Iron Giant, I fear. (It's a Netflix thing for me, and I'm queue stuck.)

Though I did find myself reading transcripts and thinking wistfully of all the Chiana/Jool that people didn't write.

I don't have a "teensy" head. I think in normal circles I have normal sized head. But among the bobbleheaded-lollipop-gang that is The Screen Actor's Guild, a normal sized melon is.... why am I even answering this....

Guys with those giant heads freak me out in the same way that the freaky Burger King King-thing-guy freaks me out, which is similar in some ways but not identical to the way I get seriously, seriously creeped out by those modern three-tyned wind turbines. Luckily, Colin does indeed have a normal-sized head, and is therefore vastly more enjoyable to watch.

Tall men are fun to look at, but a pain in the neck for engaging in extended lip-lock with. Not that this has anything to do with anything at. all.

ETA: I really enjoy Stark as a foil and adversary for Carter. It's great that he is such a complex character, that he is not evil, and that in spite of the adversarial nature of the character, he is not the enemy.

Also, I agree with the others who felt that the fake-kissage at the end was not as bad as we were fearing. There was enough reluctance, necessity, as well as delicately drawn enjoyment to make this scene loads less insulting to the characters and the viewers than the magnet scene. Is the science behind the necessity better, or are we less annoyed by scientific plot-holes in the dance/kiss bit because it was written with a less heavy hand?

Next season we're going to discover that Sheriff Carter is now being played by Ian Somerhalder, and when asked what happened to Colin, the network will reply that the Buffistas filled his head with crazy ideas...

Belatedly want to take back my misinterpretation of the show. Misunderstanding the first scene with Allison and Nathan messed up the rest of the ep for my viewing experience.

What still bugs is Salli's portrayal of Allison. Now I understand the irritation that flowed through the rest of the ep in regards to Allison's emotional state, but there was still something off. Was it a deliberate choice to have Allison fronting her heartbreak over the divorce by trying to be aggressive and short-tempered but having it come out awkward and stiff and a little hysterical?

Also, starting to appreciate the "mood-ring" because all those times that Nathan was at his "threshold tolerance", he was cool as a cucumber. Which makes me kinda scared of him that you can't really tell when he's angry. I also picked up lots more cool bits of Ed Quinn's performance where he's, pardon the cliche, seeming kind of a shell of himself. The energy is just a little off, the voice a little sluggish, the shrugs and slightly less composed posture. After he's done fronting his anger and irritation, he just seems... smaller. Was having him sitting while everyone else was standing a deliberate choice?
